Mitch Benn: The Lehrer Effect

When, years ago, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehrer, the course of his life was changed forever. Mitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer, the creative debt owed to him by all those who mix humour and melody, and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs. Since Mr Lehrer (at time of writing, still slogging obstinately along at the age of 97) recently placed his entire catalogue in public domain, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom's most famous creations as well.

LEGALISE KISSING

A genre-defying mix of stand-up, surreal storytelling, and live techno anthems, Legalise Kissing is a punk-clown manifesto on love, identity, and modern chaos. Writer for Netflix’s The Gentlemen and now Apple TV, award-winning comedian Theo Mason Wood blends razor-sharp wit with absurdist theatricality, delivering a show that’s as heartfelt as it is unhinged. Fresh from a sold-out preview at Comedy Café Berlin, where audiences raved about its chaotic brilliance, Theo brings a high-energy mix of comedy, character work, and pounding beats to the stage. Winner of the Berlin New Stand-Up Award and semi-finalist in the West End New Act of the Year competition, Theo has performed across Europe, most recently at the prestigious Moth Club in London. At its core, Legalise Kissing explores the absurdity of human connection in an age of chaos—where love, rebellion, and techno collide. Theo’s unpredictable energy, biting satire, and beautifully weird storytelling keep audiences on edge in the best way possible. If you like your comedy bold, smart, and a little unhinged, this is the show for you. Come for the jokes, stay for the manifesto. And maybe, just maybe, leave ready to start a revolution. Book now—kissing optional.
