Josh Widdicombe, co-host of The Last Leg, played Not My Cup Of Tea at the Hackney Empire on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 May 2026.
Widdicombe grew up in Haytor Vale on Dartmoor. He began in stand-up in London in the late 2000s and was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2011.
He has co-hosted The Last Leg on Channel 4 for more than 30 series and is a team captain on Rob Beckett’s Smart TV. He also co-hosts Hold The Front Page on Sky.
Parenting Hell, his podcast with Rob Beckett, grew big enough for a live arena tour in 2023. Its book topped the Sunday Times bestseller list.
His previous special, Bit Much, was filmed at The London Palladium and shown on Sky. Both Hackney nights began at 19:30, presented by Off The Kerb, with a running time of about two hours and ten minutes.
