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.

"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.

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.

Bec has scoured her back catalogue (backalogue) for all her favourite bits of material for your viewing pleasure. Does the show go according to plan? No. Did she forget some vital props for this recording? Sure. Does this DVD accidentally capture the spontaneity and chaos of live comedy and come out all the better for it? Absolutely.

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).

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

Against doctors' orders we present the dynamic duo of comedy legend Barry Cryer (I m Sorry I Haven t A Clue), and former Fabulous Poodle Ronnie Golden with a riotous, rip-roaring DVD of comedy and song. Forget a combined age of 142, they deliver this with neither a safety net nor Zimmer frame in sight! A glorious mix of Barry s legendary jokes and stories alongside Ronnie s skillful strumming and wicked wit make this a unique and hilarious DVD. Expect songs that deal with the burning issues of the day: voluntary euthanasia, mobile phone frustrations, Stannah Stairlifts and John Prescott! The extras include an extended q+a with the audience, where you can find out everything that the audience is interested in. Of course, it is not long before Barry's showbiz anecdotes take over proceedings.

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.

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.
Ken Worthington (in association with Go Faster Stripe) is extremely proud (well.. I'm not ashamed, anyway) to present this live DVD, showcasing the work of my client (and next-door neighbour), Mr John Shuttleworth. Recorded at the magnificent Theatre Royal in Wakefield, (though one of the seats had a few scuff marks, I'm afraid to say), the DVD captures John at the height of his performing powers and then releases him out of your telly and into your living room. Extra features include appearances by a concreter from Goole called Dave Tordoff and, (for contractual reasons related to the loan of a microphone stand), a rock musicologist from Selly Oak called Brian Appleton. Oo, I do hope you like it. Tata for now, Ken.

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
