Two rising comedians, one hour of chaos. Max Mackenzie and Emmanuel Omoniyi explore the absurd world of online creativity, algorithmic pressure, and trying to stay funny - and authentic - in a world that wants you clickable.
In a world where comedians aren't just performers but content machines, this show dives headfirst into the chaos of modern creativity — where making good work isn't always enough, and being clickable can matter more than being clever. Through sharp stand-up, contrasting perspectives and brutally honest comedy, Emmanuel and Max unpack the tension between art and content, craft and clout, and audience laughs versus online approval.
Both rising voices on the UK comedy circuit, Emmanuel Omoniyi and Max Mackenzie bring completely different outlooks to the stage, creating a fast-moving, thoughtful and very funny hour that captures the absurdity of trying to stay true to yourself while the internet begs you to perform.
This is stand-up comedy about creativity, burnout, self-promotion, and the strange pressure to always be "on" - packed with big laughs, smart ideas and moments that feel uncomfortably familiar.
