Harry Stachini: Lobster - UK Tour (16+)

Lobster is a new stand-up show by Harry Stachini, following his Edinburgh Fringe show Grenade. Its subject is change, from family life to the awkward years of growing up, staged at The Glee Club in Leeds.

The title refers to the way lobsters grow: they shed their hard shells and stay hidden while a new one forms, a stage that is vulnerable and messy but unavoidable. Harry Stachini uses that image to frame a set of personal stories about the transitions in his own life, delivered as observational stand-up comedy.

Much of the material draws on his family's recent changes. He talks about moving to a new area, travelling abroad, falling in love, sharing a house with his father and going through puberty in 2025. The tone is candid and easy-going, with honest reflections alongside a steady run of jokes. The show follows Grenade, his 2024 Edinburgh Fringe production, which was nominated for a Best Show award.

Stachini is a regular at The Comedy Store and at comedy clubs across the UK, and he has headlined in Dubai and Perth and performed at festivals in Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane. The Glee Club, where this UK tour date takes place, hosts concerts and shows in Leeds.
