Album title: Drive to Goldenhammer Artist: Divorce Label: Gravity/Capitol Release date: 7 Mar After a flurry of well-received EPs, and consistent 6Music support, Divorce have delivered a debut album that looks set to push them to the front of the next-big-thing queue. The Nottingham band are difficult to pigeonhole: across 12 tracks they marry country, pop, indie, and folk in a way that makes comparisons tricky.

Anybody attending Du Blonde’s show will have had a shock on the way there, when their mobiles told them to prepare for the worst. The disaster alarm, warning of the impending Storm Éowyn, sets the scene nicely for a post-apocalyptic hoedown with revelations and resurrections aplenty.
Support band bigfatbig also double as Du Blonde’s backing band, but it’s clear from their infectious set of pop bangers that they're not prepared to take a back seat.

Katie Green's show, ¡Ay Mija! spans three countries, and delights in picking apart the nuances in culture, behaviour and expectations that demonstrate what we have in common, and what we'll never understand about "that place". Growing up in San Francisco, and of El Salvadoran heritage, Green moved to London to study at the University of East London, a sideways shuffle which seems to be paying off in terms of her material.

Milo Edwards is a man in a hurry. No gentle glide into the show, no ad-libbed mockery of the front row, no scene setting – he's straight into the gags and straight onto the main target of his new show, the British class system. What does it mean to be posh, and where does an Essex lad with a Radio 4 accent fit into the mix?

Perhaps it's the bright orange, Alcatraz-issue tee shirt that gives it away – Ed Night is not feeling quite himself. He's not even sure if he's watching Channel 5 or Channel 4+1 any more. He has a litany of mental health problems, and some pressing medical tests that may or may not be good news.

Martin Angolo is difficult to miss. He has a Guinness in one hand and a big concept in the other: the idea that "comedians can't say anything these days". It's an hour in which he charms the audience with his tales of casual racism, belonging, and always siding with the lesbians. If it never quite lands the sucker punch that you might hope for, it certainly leaves you wanting more.

Eric Rushton invites us to place ourselves in his hands for an hour, and it feels like a comfortable spot to while away an afternoon. He is keen to note that he won't solve all of our problems, though he might distract us for a while. In fact, this is not so much a distraction as an inception – a dream within a dream, where Eric and his "date," Hollywood heartthrob Margot Robbie, share increasingly elaborate scenarios which leave the audience unsure whether we are laughing with or at Rushton.

Many of tonight's audience know precisely who Vir Das is – he's a phenomenon in his native India, albeit with controversy following him at every turn. He's a comedian who has never shied away from his principles, choosing instead to make them central riffs in his show. Tonight he swings from thoughtful philosophy to jokes about HIV and depression, without ever alienating a crowd which is loudly willing him on.
