Mike Bubbins 'Throwback' (live comedy special)

Mike Bubbins, star of BBC television hit comedy Mammoth and one of the hosts of hit podcast The Socially Distant Sports Bar, unleashes THROWBACK, his first ever stand-up special. And things may never be the same again. THROWBACK is a powerful, thought-provoking, visceral hour of stand-up comedy, that pushes boundaries, defies neat descriptions and challenges the audience... AS IF IT IS! It’s actually an hour of really funny stories, pretty impressive characterisations, a bit of nostalgia about the good old days, a bit of optimism about the good new days, and Mike generally having a laugh about life and not taking himself, or anything else, too seriously. Having said that, he may, at some point in the show, get very annoyed at berks, whether in the past, the present, or the future. Very annoyed. Mike is taking his brand new show IDEASMAN on tour across the UK in 2026/7. Tickets are available at: https://mikebubbins.com/gigs/ or at https://www.livenation.co.uk/mike-bub...

Mike has removed himself from X/Twitter because he spent too much time arguing with f*ckw*ts on there. More about Mike: Mike Bubbins is a Welsh comedian, actor and broadcaster. He is the creator, co-writer and star of the hit BBC sitcom Mammoth. The first series in 2024 was the biggest debut sitcom on BBC2 in five years. Series 2 was released in 2025 and Series 3 will hit the screens sometime in 2027. You can find all episodes on the BBC I Player. Mike's new stand up show Ideasman will tour the UK in 2026/7. Ideas Man, noun : 'A person who is particularly good at thinking of new or original ideas.' That's what Mike Bubbins is. Not an admin man. Not an organised man. Not an especially dedicated man. This comedy tour, for instance, is a case in point. Mike has got loads of really funny stories. He's wonderful at telling them. So he had the idea of sharing those stories with people, to give them some big laughs and a great night out. He's left every single other thing that needs to be done in order to make that happen, to other people. Except the name. IDEASMAN was his idea. Outside of Mammoth, Mike has acted in a number of comedies and dramas including Tourist Trap, Death Valley, Warren, Josh and The Unexplainers. His acclaimed BBC Wales interview show, Scrum V, will see a fourth series in 2026. He is a regular on panel/entertainment shows, appearing on the likes of Would I Lie To You, House Of Games (he won) and Celebrity Mastermind (he won). In Podcast land, Mike is one of the hosts of The Socially Distant Sports Bar. Launched in the lockdown of 2020 when there was no live sport, the podcast became a huge hit and six years, 300+episodes, two sold out tours and arena shows later, is still going strong. Lastly, and while he may be blowing his own trumpet, Mike’s pretty sure he’s the only comedy performer, writer & actor in the world who as well as being an ex-professional rugby player, coach and PE teacher has also been a finalist in the European Elvis Tribute Act Championship.
