Chuckle Busters and Jessie Nixon present Out of The Wardrobe - a LGBTQ+ showcase night featuring a handpicked selection of the best queer comedians on the UK circuit.

It’s our first show in our new sister venue Blame Gloria, and we’re kicking off with an absolute belter!

KATE BUTCH

Kate Butch is an award-winning menace to society who is perhaps best known for competing on Series 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, becoming one of its breakout stars.

Before that, she made her professional debut at the age of 11, playing a sweetcorn-obsessed child in Green Giant’s ‘my mum says you are what you eat’ advertising campaign.

She has also worked with one of the Cheeky Girls. Unfortunately she can’t remember which.

MATTHEW ALI

North London born and raised and former LGBTQ rugby captain, newcomer Matthew Ali bring a high energy and positive vibes with a touch of sassiness and the odd cutting remark.

Runner up - Komedia New Act of the Year 2024

JESSIE NIXON (MC)

Our regular Blame Gloria host is the fantastic Jessie Nixon!

Jessie is a unique performer who delivers dynamic and erudite jokes with the confidence and sincerity of a drunk girl in a Wetherspoons toilet.

Her five-star, award-winning 2025 Edinburgh Fringe show cemented her status as one of the most exciting new voices in UK comedy.
