Bedlam Late is an annual curated programme of late-night comedy experiments at Bedlam Theatre. Past shows have included: Hot Rubber, the planet's only DIY scalextric racing tournament/comedy night; Midland Child Syndrome, hosted by Lorna Rose Treen where Midlands-based comedians deuce it out; Kink Shame Show, Rosa Garland's experimental show highlighting kink-based comedy and performance, and many more shows that have gone on to gain their own success.
In 2025, we were nominated for a Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality for our work on Bedlam Late!
Each year's Bedlam Late roster is a mix of invited shows and ones picked from public expressions of interest. Head over to our Instagram to see details on our call outs for expressions of interest or drop us an email with your ideas, and scroll below for photos from previous years.
