What's On in Leicester
Tuesday 15 September 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Leicester may be keeping things intimate on this Tuesday in September, but do not let the quiet midweek lull fool you — the city has saved something genuinely special for the evening. One night, one stage, one comedian who has a rare gift for turning the everyday into something gloriously ridiculous: that is all you need for a Tuesday worth remembering.
Highlights
Urzila Carlson - Fatty On a Yacht — The South African-born, New Zealand-raised stand-up Urzila Carlson rolls into the magnificent De Montfort Hall at 8:00pm with her tour Fatty On a Yacht, and if you have ever caught her on Netflix or 8 Out of 10 Cats you already know this is not an evening to sleep on. Carlson has a wonderfully deadpan yet explosively warm stage presence, the kind that makes a packed room feel like a gathering of old friends sharing the best joke they have ever heard. Tickets are available via the website, so check prices and grab yours before the seats disappear.
