Dee Allum

She's here! She's queer! Her parents are sort-of used to it! Fresh, exciting, and overall just happy to be here, Dee is the greatest transgender comedian her small village has ever produced. This debut stand-up show is about reconciling with the past, coming out, and going through two puberties (frankly, two too many). As seen on the BBC New Comedy Awards Final and Comedy Central Live.

'Delightfully funny... thoroughly engaging' (Chortle.co.uk).

'You could well be furious about not getting a ticket to one of their sold-out shows very soon' (Guardian).

‘Too Late, Baby’ is the second live comedy hour from acclaimed Canadian stand-up comedian Michelle Shaughnessy. She debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 to critical acclaim with her show “Be Your Own Daddy,” directed by Adam Hills. Her new show explores what happens when you wait too long to pursue everything you’ve ever wanted in life. “This is an admission of 'Holy Shit… I think I’ve missed the boat'. Instead of whining about it, she is doing what she does best: turning it into comedy. This show is for anyone who’s ever felt it was too late to make one last big move to go for what they really want in life, and how to handle it when it blows up in your face.

Originally based in Toronto, Michelle quickly made a name for herself across North America. She’s had numerous appearances on television, and her debut album “You Know What You Did” hit number one on the iTunes comedy charts. Her sophomore album “Botoxic” received a coveted 5-star review from Toronto’s iconic NOW Magazine. Now based in London, Michelle is rapidly rising through the ranks of the UK comedy scene, most recently doing tour support for Ed Byrne and Adam Hills.
