7:30pm Shenoah Allen

In this boundary-pushing show, Allen fearlessly dives into his wild New Mexican roots and delivers acid-fueled tales of sex, drugs and murder. Transforming taboo subjects into comedic gold, Shenoah confronts societal norms and challenges the audience to question their own boundaries while simultaneously inviting them to revel in the sheer madness of it all.

As one half of the acclaimed comedy duo Pajama Men, Shenoah has received ★★★★★  from Times, Guardian, Time Out, Evening Standard, Irish Independent and Scotsman
