Manchester Events Guide: Bad News & Tabish Upon A Star
Bad News and Tabish Upon A Star is part of the Creatures Comedy Festival, bringing sharp stand-up comedy to Lost Cat in Manchester's Northern Quarter. This is a cracking night out if you're after quality live comedy without the corporate feel, featuring comedians who aren't afraid to push boundaries and keep audiences laughing from start to finish.
Lost Cat is a proper gem tucked away in the Northern Quarter, one of Manchester's most vibrant neighbourhoods packed with independent bars, vintage shops, and creative spaces. The venue itself has brilliant intimate vibes—it's the kind of place where you feel close to the action, and the crowd's always up for a good night out. You'll find the atmosphere buzzy but relaxed, perfect for mid-week comedy.
The show kicks off at 20:15 on Monday 27 July 2026, with tickets just £7 (18+ only, so bring ID). Get there early to grab a drink and soak up the Northern Quarter atmosphere—there's loads of bars nearby if you want to extend the evening. It's easily accessible by tram or a short walk from Piccadilly, and street parking's usually decent after 8pm in the area.
