Babatunde Aleshe: High Expectations

Saturday 13 September

Baba’s back — and he’s bringing the laughs with him. Join the multi-award-winning comedian for a brand-new stand-up tour packed with heart, hilarity, and unmistakable charm.

From tales of family life to the rollercoaster of sudden fame — not to mention a deep and meaningful love for Costco — Baba unpacks it all with the warmth and wit that’s made him a firm favourite across the UK.

Whether he’s riffing on parenting, partnerships, or pushing a trolley down those oversized aisles, his fresh, feel-good take on everyday life makes every moment shine.

You’ll recognise him from smash-hit shows like Taskmaster, Live at the Apollo, Celebrity Gogglebox, Would I Lie to You, and The Last Leg — and now you can catch him live, up close, and on absolute top form.

The critics love him too: “Infectiously upbeat” (Evening Standard), “Magnetic” (INews), and “Infectiously enjoyable” (Times).

This is stand-up that hits home and lifts spirits. Book your tickets early — Baba’s shows sell fast, and you won’t want to miss this one.
