Olaf Falafel's Stupidest Super Stupid Show
Sunday 15 March 2026
Comedy
Family
After a sell-out run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, award-winning comedian and children's author Olaf Falafel is dishing up another frying pan full of family-friendly comedy.
The comedy show comedians take their kids to is back and even funnier! Join Olaf Falafel (if that is his real name) for an hour of kids' comedy which will be the stupidest he has ever let trickle from his brain. Expect jokes, poos on pogo sticks, more jokes and truth-telling cheese. There will definitely be a time-travelling portal to the future and a live drawalong!
Be there or be a dodecahedron!
