Joke Thieves: World Championship

The cult hit show returns – bigger, riskier and more competitive than ever. Comedians go joke-for-joke, showcasing their own material before fearlessly performing their rivals’ jokes, battling for the title, the championship belt and a £1500 cash prize.

‘A brilliant format’ (Guardian).

‘An undoubted hit’ (Chortle.co.uk).

Piloted for Comedy Central (US) & BBC Two (UK).

Top five comedy shows of the year (List).

Top 10 late nights out at the Fringe (Time Out).

Top 25 shows at the Fringe (Comedy.co.uk).

‘Spontaneous and anarchic’ **** (Fest).

‘A truly electric night’ **** (Scotsman).

‘Action-packed and chaotic’ **** (BroadwayBaby.com).

'Deserves more than one visit' **** (One4Review.co.uk).
