It's a really good introduction to what we do, so if you enjoy it please share the tragedy with your friends.

Tragic Autumn Act 3 - Tragic Fall

In the third and final of three Liz Specials, host Dave Pickering sits down with Liz Bailey as she shares her favorite performers from the first 4 years of SUT.

Liz has been a producer, stage manager and well loved member of the Stand Up Tragedy team since it started and this is really an audio history of the show.

It (and the other two previous Liz Specials) are also a farewell present to (and from) Liz.

SUT Presents - Howl Of The Bantee

What About the Men? Mansplaining Masculinity by Dave Pickering was performed in November 2015 at the Dogstar in Brixton.

Unbound have approached me about adapting it into a book and if you preorder/pledge your support you can help make the book happen: https://unbound.com/books/mansplaining-masculinity/

In 2015, I made a show about being a man called What About the Men? Mansplaining Masculinity. As research for the show, I surveyed 1000 anonymous men. In 2016, I wrote and performed an extension of the show called Liberating Men for BBC Radio 4's Four Thought. That episode was the Radio Times Pick of the Day.

Additionally to the main thread of the show I've received The Pulse Award from the Wellcome Trust and British Podcast Awards to make some additional episodes that look at the science behind the issues covered which include dementia, heart conditions, mental health and euthanasia.

SUT Brixton Ep 3 Allan Girod

A night where people get up on stage and do some tragedy: part cabaret, part variety show. Come and let some great performers make you sad, make you think and make you smile. Sometimes they’ll be putting a new twist on what they do with brand new material tailored towards the theme. Expect music, comedy, true stories and more, all playing up to the tragic form but not taking it too seriously. The night will end, not with a whimper, not with a bang, but with a cathartic sing-a-long.

Brought to you by Sony Radio Award nominated writer, musician and performer Dave Pickering, this monthly show will be recorded and released as a free weekly podcast at www.standuptragedy.co.uk and through iTunes.
