  • David Elms
    Oct 21 2025

    The Shed welcomes the effortlessly funny and endlessly inventive David Elms.


    Comedian, musician, writer, and actor, David’s work moves between stand-up, improv, and theatre with easy charm and sharp wit.


    He joins Gary in the shed to talk about finding rhythm in storytelling, balancing heart and humour, and how he might squeeze his show 'David Elms Describes A Room' into the Shed itself.

  • Tim Crouch
    Oct 6 2025

    The Shed swings open for one of British theatre’s boldest minds — Tim Crouch.


    Actor, writer and director, Tim has spent his career bending the rules of performance. From An Oak Tree to Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel, his work turns audiences into co-conspirators and keeps the theatre world on its toes.


    He joins Gary in the shed to talk risk, reinvention, and why breaking the fourth wall never gets old.
