Trump. Your wrong. Brexit. Your wrong. Facebook. Your wrong. Tinder. Your wrong. Religion. Your wrong. Fashion. Your wrong. Grammar. Your wrong! We are being watched. Whether it’s the grammar Nazis on the internet, the court of public opinion in the media, the government through our smart phones, the aliens from deep in the crust of the moons of Jupiter, or by God himself, we are being monitored. The pressure to “get it right” is tremendous! Right? Your Wrong questions the nature of understanding and explores our modern day need to be right about everything. This show was recorded in Brighton as part of the Artista Comedy Festival.

This DVD captures him in an intimate, idiosyncratic performance at Cardiff's Chapter Arts Centre. The show is interspersed with extracts of an interview with Arnold waxing lyrical on his long, unique career and in the process, revealing some of his comedy secrets. The DVD also includes a hilarious after-show chat with fellow-comedian Norman Lovett, together with a half-hour programme from Cable Access TV in New York profiling ourselves at Go Faster Stripe.

If you’ve ever seen a funny program on TV you will know Kevin. He’s been in Brass Eye, Smack the Pony, Spaced, Look Around You, Black Books, Big Train, Jam, I'm Alan Partridge, Nighty Night and Green Wing. Phew. He’s also been in Attention Scum! with Simon Munnery and all of Lee and Herring’s stuff. Unbelievably, this is Kevin’s first solo show, and it doesn’t disappoint – it got five star reviews from everywhere, including me (if I gave out stars).

"it’s just an hour of an elderly gentleman faffing about with things he keeps in a bag." Chortle It's said that you shouldn't meet your heroes, but it turns out as long as your hero is Norman Lovett, then it's all OK. Norman is probably best known for his portrayal of Holly in Red Dwarf. And we've managed to fulfil another one of our comedy ambitions, spending time with him making this DVD. It was recorded in September 2011, just after Norman finished a run in Edinburgh, so he's primed and red hot - not that you'd notice of course. Norman’s style of laid back surrealist whimsy masks the fact that he was “on fire” that night. Why not see for yourself and see if he doesn't become your hero too.

Here's a brand new show from Adam that we recorded in the BFI in London earlier in the year. It's hilarious. It was one of those nights where we had such a good time we couldn't wait to share it with you all. The show was a best-of compilation of Adam's favourite routines from the past few years. In it, he talks about real life struggles that we can all relate to - working from home whilst trying to avoid the internet. Luckily for us he doesn't manage to keep away from it for too long, as we get to see his search history looking at the work of some beloved performers together with the views of the YouTube commentary community. When relaxing away from the internet we are also treated to a selection of videos that Adam has made that give a pretty good insight into his home life. He even says 'my wife' in a robot voice.

TV Comedy from radio award-winning writers Stewart Lee and Richard Herring.

Ruby Wax - comedian, writer, mental health campaigner - shows us just how our minds can send us mad as our internal critics play on a permanent loop tape. Ruby knows this only too well. She has been on a tough but enlightening journey through depression which has taken her from The Priory through to an MA from Oxford University in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy. This show helps us all understand why we sabotage our sanity, how our brains work and how we can rewire our thinking to find calm in a frenetic world. Helping you become the master, not the slave, of your mind, this show is your route to saner living. Recorded live at the Arts Theatre in 2016

You're looking at a very special DVD that very nearly didn't happen. Stewart Lee's tour de force, 90s Comedian, has been dubbed so controversial (along with his directing debut Jerry Springer the Opera) that none of the big DVD manufacturers would touch it with a barge pole. Which is a shame, and is why the fearless Go Faster Stripe stepped in and offered to organise a special one-off evening's pe

An entirely improvised comedy play, with a cast who conjure up a 'lost' Jane Austen novel, based on nothing more than a title suggested by the audience.

While sitting in a lecture about a series of Chuck Jones cartoons, Ben’s thoughts drift off in various directions. Pronoun Trouble combines a fact-adjacent lecture about three great films with a ton of other topics that sometimes come to mind.
Astronauts. Regrets. The sexes. Rage. Medicine. Manners. Identity. Lost stuff. Other stuff. Miles Jupp, (Stand-up, actor, writer, thinker, father, husband, worrier, fool, star of Rev. and host of The News Quiz) hits the road in a freshly-ironed shirt and some robust trousers and tries to make some bloody sense of it all.

In 2006, Miles Jupp decided to jack it all in and embarked on a trip to India in an attempt to become a cricket journalist. All he had to do, he thought, was blag his way into the English press corps and look like he knew what he was doing. In 2010, Miles told the story of that (mis)adventure in a show at the Edinburgh Festival, which received over twenty 4 star reviews. Two UK tours of the show followed, finishing up in London's West End. The book of the story was nominated for The William Hill Sports Book Of The Year. In 2014, Miles (who likes to think things over for a bit) suddenly decided that he wanted to record the show, so he dusted it off and headed to The Torch Theatre in Milford Haven and performed the show all over again in front of some cameras, some microphones and a very nice audience of predominantly Welsh people. This is that show.
Sep 2014
A new hour of stand-up and miscellany from Award winning Simon Munnery. Featuring tales of plumbing woes, his attempts at under tent heating, jokes, songs, poems and the ridicule of capitalism. Featuring a newly extended version of his classic supermarket medley.

Recording of Richard Herring's "Oh Frig, I'm 50" show
Nov 2018
In The Headmaster's Son, a nostalgic and faintly disturbing juvenile romp through the 1980s, Richard Herring considers what could possibly be worse than being a podgy, swotty, virginal schoolboy. What if your dad's the headmaster too?
Feb 2010
The true story of how Mark discovered his close friend was spying on him for Britain's biggest arms dealer. A tale of hubris, friendship, loss and undercover deceit told by an award-winning comedian.
Miles Jupp – star of Rev. and host of Radio 4’s The News Quiz – returned to stand up in 2014 with this brand new show which toured the UK and played in London’s West End. In Miles Jupp Is The Chap You’re Thinking Of he discusses/touches upon/rants about himself, you, domestic imprisonment, fatherhood, having to have opinions, hot drinks, the bloody government, housing, the ageing process, other people’s pants and, inevitably, a number of other things. Pretty spicy stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree. Bits of it are mild-mannered, and some of it probably seems a tad on the stroppy side. Ultimately, though, it’s a man standing on a stage, facing an audience, talking about some stuff and in the process aiming to cover the cost of his white goods. This special performance of the show was recorded at The Theatre Royal, Margate

Has Adolf Hitler ruined that little moustache for everyone? The only time you'll see it these days is carved into the pubic hair of a naughty lady. Is it possible to reclaim the toothbrush moustache (as it should be called) for comedy? After all, Chaplin had it first. In the critically acclaimed "Hitler Moustache," comedian Richard Herring determines to find as well as discovering how people will respond to this contentious face furniture when it's growing out of his face. Will they assume he's crazy or a fascist or both? Will they spit at him, punch him or just laugh in his face?

It is an honour to present to you Simon Munnery's long awaited live DVD. It’s an amazing performance of over an hour and a half of standup, stories, songs and poems, accompanied from time to time by Mac on drums. Alan Parker Urban Warrior is here, as is Sherlock Holmes, and the Security Guard makes a welcome reappearance with three new jokes.

The moment you think you've got a handle on things, life throws you a twist. This is a show about the unexpected and the twists... or is it?
