Preet Singh: First Class

Preet Singh brings his debut tour, First Class, to The Stables on Saturday 5 December, with the show starting at 8:45pm. It's his first headlining run, and the title fits the theme: it's a deep dive into identity, family and the chaos of modern Britain, told with a mix of sharp wit and raw, personal storytelling.

Singh has spent the last few years working his way up the UK circuit, and he's a regular on the scene. He's appeared on BBC TV, BBC Radio and ITV2, and has spent plenty of time supporting some of the bigger names in British comedy. He's toured with Guz Khan, Richard Blackwood, Nabil Abdulrashid, Josh Berry, Sukh Ojla, Eshaan Akbar and Akaash Singh, so he's well-used to playing to a crowd. Secret London called him 'a natural on stage', which is a good summary of how he works—the storytelling is the core of it, and the jokes come out of that rather than standing on their own.

First Class is the first time he's taking the lead on a full tour, and the material is built around those three threads—identity, family and the state of the country—so it's more of a cohesive show than a collection of separate bits. It's a fearless look at the things he's been working on, and it's the first time he's had the whole hour to himself.

Tickets are £14, which includes the booking fee, and the show is suitable for ages 16 and over. It's a Saturday night slot at The Stables, starting at 8:45pm.
