About this show
Gutter is London's sell-out underground comedy night, making its Fringe premiere. Hosted by a vicious bouffon troupe – 'a little bit nasty' (Philippe Gaulier) – who crawl out of a bin to run the show. A world of clowning, drag and alternative cabaret, with a rotating line-up of stand-out and emerging performers. Each night draws the audience in, then insidiously turns on them. Chortle Award nominated for Best Alternative and Clowning. Created by Tom Greaves (Fudgey: Best Reviewed Shows 2024, Comedy.co.uk). Late-night comedy that refuses to behave.
