Maisie Adam - What's Her Face

Maisie Adam brings her new show, What's Her Face, to The Engine Shed on Tuesday 16 March 2027. It's a solo stand-up set, and she's coming to Lincoln fresh from a run of TV appearances on Taskmaster, A League Of Their Own and Last One Laughing. If you've caught her on any of those, you'll recognise the act: sharp wit, firecracker gags and a good few angry outbursts. This is her new show, so it's new material rather than a best-of.

It's a long way from how she started. Adam first tried stand-up in October 2016 in her native North Yorkshire, where she did a full hour for her first ever gig. A couple of months later she entered So You Think You're Funny, the UK's largest stand-up competition, and won the semi-final in Edinburgh before taking the final at the end of the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe. She was only the fourth woman to do so in thirty 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 appeared on BBC's Mock the Week, Channel 4's 8 Out of 10 Cats and ITV's The Stand Up Sketch Show, and the show has drawn five-star reviews from The Guardian, The List and the Evening Standard.

What's Her Face is at The Engine Shed, University of Lincoln (The Platform), Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS. It starts at 7:30pm, and tickets are £27.50, which includes the booking fee.
