Enhance Productions 2026-27
Visually impaired access has been created for these shows post-production, devised by an Extant visually impaired facilitator. This is not audio description, but instead an ‘enhanced’ way of providing access that has been tried and tested by Extant.
In 2026 we’re working with New Diorama (London), Komedia (Brighton), Nottingham Playhouse, and Underbelly (Edinburgh). They will receive our Visual Impairment Awareness Training and we will be working with companies to create Enhance shows.
Each performance will have a pre-show delivery of Enhanced programme notes and Touch Tour. The notes encapsulate the visual aspects of the show and are written with access for visually impaired audiences at the core. The Touch Tour offers exploration of set, props and costume: offering an immersive space in which to imagine the work before the show begins.

Aarian is a triple threat. Brown, blind and bi. Arguably already too many things to talk about in a debut stand-up hour. Then 2024 came, and he only had to go and get f**king brain cancer. The highly anticipated debut stand-up show from the multi-award-winning writer of the 2023 Fringe hit It’s a Motherf**king Pleasure.
Tickets from £13.50, free companion tickets available.
