Georgie Carroll: Infectious

Georgie Carroll is at Butterworth Hall on Sunday 1 November, with her new show Infectious. It's a stand-up comedy night, and the title is a nod to her background: she's a nurse turned comedian, and that's where a lot of her material comes from. The night starts at 7:30pm, and Andy Askins opens for her.

Infectious is her latest show, and it's a bit of a return to the stage. Before this, she toured Sista Flo 2.0, which ran for three sold-out seasons across the UK, New Zealand and Australia, and picked up some praise along the way — Simon Cowell among those who've spoken well of her. She's described as a live comedy powerhouse and a natural storyteller, and that storytelling is a good way to frame what she does: it's comedy that leans on her life and her work rather than just a string of one-liners.

It's a proper evening's entertainment, not a short set. The show runs two hours and ten minutes, including the interval, so you'll be there for a good while. The Coventry date is part of a two-date tour, so it's one of only two times she's taking this particular show out on the road.

Tickets are £29, and the recommended age is 14+, with under-16s needing to be accompanied by a responsible adult. If you're bringing a crowd, groups of ten or more get one ticket free. The show is at Butterworth Hall, part of the Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry, on Sunday 1 November at 7:30pm.
