We have a bit of a coup for FONO this month! It's a two-parter where the first section will be 4 up and coming acts who serve as the Hors d'ourve to get you in the mood for a full WIP of the new Edinburgh show for Madeline Brettingham!

"Madeleine Brettingham is a writer and rising star on the stand-up circuit, who's recently scooped a string of competition wins including winning the prestigious So You Think You're Funny 2025 and taking silver in Funny Women in the same year, a unique double. Join her at FONO to see her work in progress of her debut show. 

She's been praised for her "distinctive worldview" (Chortle), "tight and gag-packed" writing (Bruce Dessau), and "knack for blending offbeat observations with pacey, unexpected punchlines" (The List). ""A suffer-no-fools attitude that own the stage, a formidable gag rate and a precision with language that conjures up the perfect images" - Chortle"

It's going to be something a bit special - get involved early!

Join us at our regular home, the capacious Market Theatre, Hitchin! 

PLEASE NOTE : Tickets are £7.50 ... all this comedy for less than the price of a trip to the coffee shop!
