About the show
Manchester comedy audiences can catch two hot Edinburgh Fringe shows in development this summer as Welsh comedian and podcast host Vix Leyton brings her comedy lecture Chief Petty Officer to Fairfield Social Club for a special double bill with award-winning comedian, writer and musician Andrew O’Neill. Blending stand-up, storytelling and big ideas, the night pairs Leyton’s forensic exploration of petty grudges, passive aggression and historical spite with O’Neill’s surreal, counter-cultural comedy, honed across television, radio and international touring.
Chief Petty Officer is a sharp, visually driven comedy lecture about history’s smallest grudges and the moment they go too far. From imperial overreach to pop culture beefs, stand-up comedian and consumer champion Vix Leyton dissects petty acts that accidentally changed the world, plotting them on an ambitious scientific framework to determine who stopped at the peak – and who disastrously doubled down. Smart, structured nonsense with bite, insight and a whole lot of laughs. Vix is serious about pettiness, and she has a lot of views to share.
Andrew O'Neill will do, in their own words, A Short, Aggressive Lecture On Krill. Then Jokes
