Celya AB: We Must Stop Meeting Like This

Celya AB brings her stand-up show We Must Stop Meeting Like This to the Bristol Old Vic on Sunday 1 November, with the curtain going up at 7:30pm. It's a solo hour and 45 minutes including the interval, and it's recommended for ages 16 and over.

If you haven't come across her yet, Celya AB is a stand-up comedian and a writer for Saturday Night Live UK. The industry likes her: Chortle has called her 'one of the most gifted joke writers of her age', and the British Comedy Guide described her jokes as 'exceptional, not to mention impressively original'. That's a fair bit of praise for someone who makes a living from writing lines for other people as well as her own.

We Must Stop Meeting Like This is built around the idea of breaking free from shame, and it's not a brand-new thing — it's arrived in Bristol after sold-out runs across the UK, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre. If you've seen her on Live At The Apollo, Comedy Central Live or the Off Menu podcast, this is the full-length version of that same sharp, observational style. The show runs for an hour and 45 minutes with an interval, so it's a proper night out rather than a quick set.

Tickets are £22, which includes a £1 booking fee — though members and ticket subscribers are exempt from that. The show is in the Theatre at the Bristol Old Vic on King Street, BS1 4ED, on Sunday 1 November at 7:30pm.
