Information

Time: 8pm

Tickets: Pay What You Can (Recommended Price £12)

Running Time: 120 mins (not including an interval)

This event takes place in person in our Members Bar.

In her award-winning stand-up show, Esther Manito (Live at the Apollo, Stand Up Sketch Show) looks back at the era of lad mags, landlines and cock-n-ball graffiti.

A time where the media said her Middle Eastern heritage was filled with misogynistic men, whereas the West absolutely had (and still has) sexism sorted. Has lad culture really improved? Does 90s Essex have the answers?

Best Show Winner 2021 Leicester Comedy Festival.
