Maisie Adam - Whatsherface

Maisie Adam brings her show Whatsherface to Hull City Hall on Wednesday 17 March 2027, with the curtain going up at 7:30pm. If you've come across her name but aren't sure where she fits in, she's one of the UK comedy scene's brightest rising stars, known for anecdotal material, witty charm and firecracker gags.

She didn't take the slow route to the stage. Adam first tried stand-up in October 2016 in her native North Yorkshire, and for her first ever gig, she went straight for a full hour. A couple of months later, she entered the UK's largest stand-up competition, So You Think You're Funny: she won the semi-final in Edinburgh and then the final at the end of the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe, becoming only the fourth woman to do so in 30 years. Her debut show Vague sold out the Gilded Balloon, earned a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and won the Amused Moose National New Comic.

Since then, she's become a regular on the TV circuit. You'll have seen her on Live At The Apollo, Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats and the Royal Variety Performance. She also hosts the Big Kick Energy podcast with Suzi Ruffell, which won Sports Podcast of the Year.

Whatsherface is her latest tour, and it's coming to Hull City Hall on Wednesday 17 March 2027, starting at 7:30pm. Tickets start from £29.00.
