A work in progress comedy show from 2026 Billy T James award nominated comedian, Joel Vinsen.

2026 Billy T James award nominee, Joel Vinsen, has been holed up in his lair, working on new jokes, making horrendous guitar noises, and occasionally even emerging to go to the shops etc. Joel is bringing his lair to Hamilton, and opening it to the public to show you his jokes, for ONE NIGHT ONLY!

This is a work in progress show. Come and help Joel choose which jokes will escape his lair, and feature in his upcoming Billy T show, Renaissance Man, and which will forever remain hidden from the outside world, never to be spoken of again. Also, there will be guitar, it will be a headless guitar, and Joel will make some weird sounds with it.
