Join Siân Docksey (as seen on Channel 4 and BBC 3) and Sam Nicoresti (Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year Winner) for a double film screening party before the online release of their comedy specials!
Forged deep in the guts of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Soho Theatre, Machynlleth Comedy Festival, and one ill-advised gig where Siân brought 100 kilos of pole dancing equipment to try five minutes of new material, both shows have been raised with love from the small glint of an idea, tiny ache in the soul, and inarguably erotic drawings of frogs on Post It Notes all the way to their final form.
Now they've had the last dab of polish, ribbons tied in their hair and a pat on the head before they go towards the horizon, come watch both filmed shows before they're launched onto the internet forever! Join us for good vibes, free popcorn, and no constructive criticism as this is the final edit so it's too late now sorry. All ticket sales donated to Trans Kids Deserve Better.
Screening starts at 2pm sharp! November 24th @ The Divine Dalston, 2pm-4.30pm.

Siân Docksey: Pole Yourself Together!
A pole dancing comedy show asking: can pole dancing cure your existential dread?
After a smash-hit run of the Edinburgh Fringe and sold out run at London's Soho Theatre, pole dancing comedian Siân Docksey presents a ‘beautifully untethered’ (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine) collision of stand-up and stick-dangling through climate angst, politics, absurdism and tax advice.
