Saturday Night DIVE - Fringe World 2026

Saturday Night DIVE is gloriously loose, loud, and joyfully unpredictable — a late-night comedy show that thrives on chaos, crowd energy, and host Wyatt Nixon Loyd’s relentless ability to stir the pot in real time.

From the opening moments, Wyatt sets the tone, pushing the room forward with charisma, quick instincts, and a willingness to follow whatever ridiculous tangent presents itself in the moment. The structure is intentionally fluid, shifting nightly depending on audience suggestions, the lineup of comedians, and whatever sparks Wyatt decides to throw into the mix. It’s less a fixed format and more a living, breathing comedy experiment.

Watching seasoned comics lean into absurd challenges and playful rivalry is a huge part of the appeal. This is comedy built on trust, fast thinking, and full commitment, with performers constructing bits on the fly and gleefully chasing whatever lands. On this night, Gillian Cosgriff, Luke Joseph Ryan and Nadia Collins rose to the occasion, navigating the madness with sharp instincts and big swings.

Audience participation is central, with shouted suggestions actively shaping each segment and fuelling some of the night’s biggest laughs (line managers will never be the same). The addition of a wheel of games adds another layer of spontaneity, injecting freshness and surprise - although fair warning: never accept a chocolate biscuit from Wyatt (if you know...you know).

There are moments where the show threatens to go off the rails, but that’s very much part of the fun. Without such a strong lineup, the looseness could be a liability. Here, it’s the show’s strength.

Part game show, part improvisation, and 100% chaos, Saturday Night DIVE is a buzzing, ever-changing comedy playground where no two nights are the same - and that’s exactly the point.
