In addition to their regular monthly club nights, Howlers Comedy Club will also be bringing regular touring solo shows to The Cheltenham Playhouse Theatre.

This month Howlers presents one of Canada's finest exports, Tom Stade. Star of Live at the Apollo, The John Bishop show & Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Tom will be bringing his unique brand of comedy to the Playhouse in January 2025.

Direct from the Edinburgh festival, and his last smash-hit nationwide tour, the legendary stand-up star is back on the road with a brand-new show, Risky Business. An irrepressible tour-de-force with decades of touring experience under his belt, Tom upholds a reputation as one of the most prolific and distinctive stand-ups around. Tom’s funny and today’s funny don’t always see eye to eye, but that’s cool; it’s not Tom’s way to follow the herd. He much prefers to take the path less travelled.

It’s a risky business navigating the tightrope of today’s times but Tom’s approaching it with his usual gusto. Join him as he airdrops his ingenious and unflinching comedy into an ever-changing minefield.  After all, without risk there is no reward.
