What's this? It's the Delightful Sausage previewing last year's resounding success at the Edinburgh Fringe. Loved them? Well they're giving us a peak at their next show this coming Tuesday 15 May.

What will that be all about you might ask. This, we would then tell you:

THE DELIGHTFUL SAUSAGE: REGENERATION GAME (WIP)

Surreal comedy from Yorkshire’s finest, meat-themed double act. Join Chris and Amy in a work-in-progress mission to crown their town the City of Culture. Find out what culture is, who’s been secreting it and why that stain won’t wash.

A multimedia adventure for fans of economic recession, blue top milk and Bigfoot.

The follow-up to the duo’s debut show which was recorded for NextUp and transferred to the Soho Theatre.

'One of the best adverts for modern alternative comedy' **** (EdFestMag.com).

'Inventive and increasingly hysterical' **** (Skinny).

'Brims with ideas and creativity' **** (ThreeWeeks).

Not only that, we also have a preview from

JAMES MEEHAN

of Gein's Family Gift Shop and Inside Number 9 fame, who will surely be adding to the following accolades:

"A smart and honest comic, Meehan is fast becoming one of this city’s favourite stand ups" - Manchester Wire

“His earnestness is compelling” - The Scotsman

“It’s the personal touches that provide the moments of inspiration” - The Skinny

“All of what he has to say is genuinely important and needs to be heard” - Broadway Baby

“More than great comedy, it is a call to stand up for others and ourselves.” - Ed Fest Mag

Was going to say if you didn't make it down to the Duke's tonight, you missed an outlandish old evening, but then they've all been like that lately. Come and get in on the action.
