A special preview of new comedy by acclaimed performer Andrew Doherty – showing as part of Bristol Pride 2025


A brand new show from the maker of the award-winning sell-out Gay Witch Sex Cult (“the finest horror pastiche I can recall on the Fringe since Garth Marenghi” Brian Logan, The Guardian).

Andrew Doherty completely relaunches himself with a startling piece of ground-breaking tragic theatre. In this tragic piece that breaks new ground, Andrew throws the book at AIDS and asks the Arts Council to pick it up. Watch Andrew take the “cult” out of “cult hit” and replace it with “financially prosperous.”

Catch it at Bristol Pride before it heads to this years Edinburgh Fringe, then gets a West End transfer, moves to Broadway, and finally HBO Max.

Andrew Doherty is a queer comedy writer and performer from Manchester, and co-founder of sketch comedy duo Megan from HR with Ambika Mod. His shows have earned him multiple 5 star reviews and sold out venues in Edinburgh Fringe, The West End and across the UK

“Had me in a perpetual chuckle… Andrew Doherty’s performance is one of outstanding precision.”
