'I See Three' is a split bill stand up comedy show from the exciting comedy trio 'IC3', comprised of upcoming Black Bristolian comedians Jasi, Troy Orchard and Omari Douglas. Too black for the white kids growing up and too white for the black, Troy Orchard has a pointed and acerbic way of sharing all the observations he's made during life as a mixed-race working-class Bristolian. Relaxed yet direct, taking the time to deconstruct topics most people consider sacred, Troy will either make you laugh or wince. Or both. People learn things during Troy Orchard's sets. Usually awful things, about ...

Conversational improvisation and carefully crafted comedic bits are intertwined in this collaborative show between Kyle Bedder and Emerson Young. Young and Bedder's comic personas are able to simultaneously compliment and contrast with each other, the thoughts of a deranged lunatic interspersing with those of an impulsive overthinker. The result is a chaotic mix of random tangents, crowd participation, and a diverse selection of comedic material. As an autistic dyspraxic queer kid, Sheffield-born Emerson could easily be described as processing the world around him somewhat oddly. From "g...
