🤩 ABOUT SIMON...
Simon is now one of the most exciting stand-up comedians in the world to see live. His last tour, Screwed Up, was a phenomenal success — extended three times, running for 170 dates around the world and culminating in three sold-out nights at London’s Hammersmith Apollo.
🔥 ABOUT THE SHOW
Unleashed is Simon’s hysterical new live show, packed with outrageous punchlines, razor-sharp takes and electric crowdwork. Expect him to rip into everything from wild swimmers and vape shops to Greta Thunberg, religion, and even his wife’s friends Claire & Carl. If you love bold, fast-paced stand-up with a mischievous edge, this promises to be a huge night of laughs.
⭐ WHAT TO EXPECT
Join Simon for a wildly funny night on his biggest ever tour. With his fearless style and quick-fire delivery, it’s easy to see why he’s earned rave reviews, including: “A masterclass of stand-up at its very best” – EdFringe Review.

☃️ EVENT DETAILS
The premium grotto event takes children on a thrilling Christmas journey through three different winter wonderland rooms to meet Santa and his elves.
First stop is the North Pole where Reindeer Ronnie will help little ones make reindeer food for Christmas Eve. The elves will join in the fun with a special festive dance and sing-a-long.
Then it’s time to step through the curtains into Santa’s Grotto to share Christmas wish lists and capture the moment with a keepsake photograph. Each child then has the chance to choose their own gift from the Present Room which is brimming with toys for all ages.
The adventure then moves into Mrs Christmas’ Kitchen where children can decorate their own gingerbread house cookie to take home with them.

🤣 Flitwick Comedy Night 2026 - The Rufus Centre
Time: 20:00 - 22:40
▪️AGE: 18+
🎤 Hosted by PAUL REVILL - an award-winning comedian and one of the most likable acts on the UK comedy circuit, he'll be joined by some incredible comedians. The bios for the night from Castle Comedy:
🤩 'DOMINIC HOLLAND has countless television and radio credits, including multiple appearances on HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU and THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE, as well as THE NEWS QUIZ.
A Perrier Best Newcomer Award winner, Dominic has performed seven solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival, most recently in 2018, and he continues to tour the UK and beyond with his unique take on life.
Despite Dominic’s best efforts and his considerable achievements in show business, the cruel reality is that he has been severely out-starred by his eldest son, Tom Holland…….that’s right Dom is Spider-Man’s dad!
🤩 ESTHER MANITO – is an Arab Essex girl who will challenge every single preconception of what that means. As seen on Live At The Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show and Hypothetical.
🤩 KENT CAMERON - is rapidly becoming one of the most compelling and memorable new acts on the UK comedy circuit. A towering, deep‑voiced Scottish presence with the heart and softness of “cottage cheese,” Kent masterfully plays with contrasts- between appearance and personality, confidence and vulnerability, sharp observations and warm, good‑natured storytelling.'
