OLAF FALAFEL’S STUPIDEST SUPER STUPID SHOW SO FAR
Winner of the Best Kids’ Show at the 2024 Leicester Comedy Festival
After a sell out run at last year’s Fringe, comedian and children's author Olaf Falafel is dishing up another frying pan full of family-friendly comedy.
The comedy show comedians take their kids to is back and even funnier! Join Olaf Falafel (if that is his real name) for an hour of kid's comedy which will be the stupidest he has ever let trickle from his brain. Expect sausage birds, radioactive bogies and truth-telling cheese. There will definitely be a time-travelling portal to the future, some farts and a live drawalong.

Marcel Lucont: Les Enfants Terribles - A Gameshow For Awful Children
- Winner: Best Kids Show 2022 - UK Kids Comedy Festival / Leicester Comedy Festival
- Top 10 Kids Shows - Edinburgh Fringe - Time Out / The Scotsman / Broadway World
Acclaimed French comedian Marcel Lucont presents a wild family gameshow, in which kids get to be pests, politicians and pétomanes to be crowned the most awful child.
See what happens when international insouciance meets infantile exuberance.
A big hit at Edinburgh Fringe and many other festivals, the multi-award-winning comic channels his acerbic humour and quickfire wit into a series of tasks for the younger generation, which is every bit as entertaining for adults as it is for children.
“An absolute gem... If you don’t have kids, borrow someone else’s... a treat from beginning to end”
★★★★★
Edinburgh Festivals magazine
‘Pitched perfectly... incredibly witty and dry, ensuring adults are kept completely entertained... hilarious”
★★★★★
Edinburgh Festivals For Kids
“An hour with something for everyone... the kids aren’t the only ones having a ball.... I can’t recommend this show more to kids and parents... insanely funny"
★★★★
The Scotsman
“An unforgettable experience... interactive and uproarious... appeals to both young and old... A must-see”
Edinburgh With Kids
“A real highlight of Edinburgh Fringe for the entire Horne family. Très funny”

Comedy Club 4 Kids
-
Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits!
Twenty years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, even producing a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and hosting our own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world. The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it's just like a normal comedy club, but it's on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob.
Suitable for ages 6+.
Adults to sit with children in their party (and help explain anything they get stuck on).Group bookings to contain at least one adult for every three kids."A highlight for children in recent years, giving them a taste of some of the biggest names in comedy... with the fun, rowdy feel of a real comedy club" - The Guardian
"Absolutely hilarious." - The Yorkshire Times
"The perfect way to entertain the whole family." - Three Weeks
"All in all this show was great." - The Scotsman
"Comedy Club 4 Kids has stand-up sets from grown-up, high-quality acts who perform their usual sets, just without the swearing or rude bits." - The Independent
"...plenty of full on laughs and tears of enjoyment from parents" - Families Edinburgh -

The Spencer Jones Experimental Kids Show
Spencer Jones usually does comedy for adults, but for the Exeter Comedy festival he will try and entertain kids for the very first time. Bring your guinea pigs, sorry I mean guinea kids and let’s see what they make of it. Some of it will be music, some of it will be weird, some of it will be visual and some of it will be unplanned. He made the BAFTA nominated show BBC show Big Babies and is currently the voice of a wisecracking Mushroom called Trevor in the TV show Super Happy Magic Forest. He should be fine shouldn’t he? -
