At the beginning of 2021 Joe Bates (BBC Radio 4Extra, Chorts finalist 2021) started taking anti-depressants to check if things in the world were as bleak as they seemed or whether he just had a medical condition. After a while he realised that things really are that bleak, but now he’s on anti-depressants, he’s feeling really positive about everything.
In this solo stand-up show he finds the upsides of the dystopia of the UK in 2022 and talks about his own personal journey (spoiler alert: it was on a southbound Megabus in 2010)

Great evening! Never been to a comedy club before so wasn’t sure what to expect but Robyn was an amazing host/mc, really funny and connected with the audience so well. The other acts were also brilliant, funny and we timed also! Will definitely return in the future!

Really enjoyed our night. The venue is tiny which makes the experience more intimate, and all the comedians were genuinely funny.
