A very special comedy show featuring original comedic songs, presentations, bits, and one (1) single backflip performed by an ageing, sedentary man who had to stand up and crack his knees in the middle of writing this.
‘Flipping marvellous’
★★★★ Time Out

Straight off a smash-hit, sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run.

Demi Adejuyigbe is a writer, comedian, filmmaker, and – inexplicably – a musician best known for his former podcasts, Punch Up The Jam and Gilmore Guys, as well as his popular September 21st video series, and his roles as a writer/producer on shows like NBC’s The Good Place, Peacock’s The Amber Ruffin Show, Netflix’s NEON, and Apple TV’s Strange Planet.

He has never had anything to do with Spider-Man or Star Wars but he’s hoping that someone loosely skimming this bio will now think that he did.
