We've done nature, holidays, pets, nightmares, furniture, neighbours, what's next?! Come along on 2 April to find out if the show has been commissioned by YOU. Stand up, sketches, poetry, music, art, characters and more hosted by Elaine Malcolmson (‘full of comedy life’ Skinny) and commissioned by you.
