Stand-up show by Emma Davies, a satirical dark comedy loosely based on 'A Christmas Carol' about an HR staff briefing, part of the Hull Comedy Festival.
Emma Davies brings You Are All Resources to Space - Pier Street Pop-Up on Friday 13 November, as part of the Hull Comedy Festival. It's a satirical dark comedy written by and starring Davies, billed as a show for anyone who's ever had to deal with HR.
The premise is a very loose take on A Christmas Carol. Allison Pope, Head of HR, is in the middle of delivering her final staff briefing before announcing staffing cuts when things go wrong. She's then visited by three Carols from her past, present and future, each with their own axe to grind. It sits somewhere between character comedy, clowning and stand-up, and Davies plays the lead herself.
Davies was a West End New Act Finalist in 2026. Binge Fringe called her 'hilarious', and TheReviewsHub.com noted the show's 'real bouffon energy' — that exaggerated, grotesque style of comedy that doesn't shy away from the absurd. The whole thing is part of the Hull Comedy Festival, so it's one of several comedy nights running across the city that month.

The venue itself is a relatively new addition to the Fruit Market. The Pop Up Space was created with Levelling Up Funding from Hull City Council, which gave £76,418.81 to Fruit Market LLP to bring the heritage building at 66-68 Humber Street back into use as a home for the city's arts and culture scene. It's located at Pier Street, Hull HU1 1TU.
Doors open at 7:00pm and the show starts at 7:30pm. Tickets start from £5.
