Overview
Soul Sewage is a stand-up comedy show in which Sam Eley performs as Basil Crumbwick, a deliberately unpleasant character. The performance takes place at Fairfield Social Club, a theatre in Manchester.
Soul Sewage is a stand-up show built around Basil Crumbwick, a character presented as a horrid bloke, with Sam Eley performing the role. The material centres on late-night villainy and is drawn from an uncomfortable state of mind, so the comedy rests on a single unpleasant persona rather than a sequence of unrelated sketches.
The production has been recognised at several comedy competitions. It won Best Newcomer at the 2026 ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards, the 2026 NextUp Biggest Award in Comedy and a 2026 Skinny/Fest Bestie Award, and it took the 2025 Leicester Square Sketch-Off. British Comedy Guide praised the writing as a masterclass in comedy craft, and reviewers at The New York Times, Chortle, The Skinny and Fest have awarded it top ratings. The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Mail on Sunday and The List have also reviewed it favourably.
The show is staged at Fairfield Social Club, a theatre in Manchester, and is aimed at people who enjoy stand-up comedy.
