Stand-up show 'Kid Giblet' by Australian comedian Sam Campbell, winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award and Taskmaster series 16.
Sam Campbell brings his latest show, Kid Giblet, to the Kings Theatre on Tuesday 27 October, part of his biggest tour to date with 29 dates across the UK. If you've only come across him through the telly, it's worth remembering that he's a stand-up first. He won the Barry Award for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2018 and the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show in 2022, so the stage is where he's most at home.
Over the last few years, he's become a regular on British screens. He won series 16 of Taskmaster and has appeared on Would I Lie to You?, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Guessable, and co-hosts Lucy & Sam's Perfect Brains with Lucy Beaumont. He doesn't exactly ignore that on stage, either — he quips about being on television more than five times during the set.

There's a bit of a prop involved, too: a large metal ring he bought to hold all the keys to the city handed to him by the mayors he's impressed with his showmanship. It's a good shorthand for what he's after with the whole thing — he champions live comedy as a spectacle people gather to watch rather than staring at a phone screen. Kid Giblet runs for about two hours and is recommended for ages 16 and over. Tickets start from £31.50, and it kicks off at 7:30pm.
