In 2024, she took her debut solo show Dubai Dilemma to the Edinburgh Fringe and returned in 2025 with a new hour called Great Wife Material, which received a four-star review. She has been described as refreshingly different.

Liz has opened in Dubai for international touring comedians including Schalk Bezuidenhout, Jason Manford and Janine Harouni.

Mark Moloney

Mark Moloney is not one of life’s winners. He dwells on the many injustices he has suffered and the constant misfortune he has faced. While his social judgements are at best poor, and at worst, unacceptable, Mark has navigated his life with constant uncertainty. Somehow, he is still going. He brings a deadpan, low-energy and surreal approach to an evening.

Mark was shortlisted for BBC New Comedy Awards 2025 and reached the 2024 Leicester Square New Comedian final.

Nadine Bailey

Leonardo Da Vinci, the Renaissance’s greatest mind, lands in the twenty first century, only to realise he's still the greatest mind. What have we been doing the last 500 years? Mama mia.
