Vix Leyton

Following a sell out Edinburgh Fringe run, Vix Leyton brings Chief Petty Officer back to Sheffield for its first full performance since the festival.

Part stand-up, part comedy lecture, Chief Petty Officer is an over-researched investigation into pettiness: why we do it, when it works, and how far is too far when somebody has mildly annoyed you.

At the centre of it all is the Hill to Die On, a 'highly scientific' formula she designed to calculate the point at which satisfying pettiness tips over into catastrophic commitment to the bit.

Sheffield audiences helped shape the show through a series of work-in-progress performances at Square Hole and Fat Cats before it headed to Edinburgh. Now, with new material and experience learned from a packed Fringe rooms, the finished version is back.

If you like smart, idea-led stand-up, Radio 4 comedy, strange true stories, niche cultural rabbit holes and comedians who have clearly spent far too long researching something nobody asked them to, you should feel very at home here.

Expect famous grudges, historical pettiness, unexpected connections and pub trivia to fuel you to the end of the year.
