Vix Leyton: Chief Petty Officer - Chippenham Comedy Festival 2026

What do 50 Cent, elephants, Lord Buckethead and the wife of the man who definitely did not buy adult films at the hotel have in common? You’ll find out

Chief Petty Officer is a sharp, visually driven comedy lecture about history’s smallest grudges and the moment they go too far. From imperial overreach to pop culture beefs, stand-up comedian and consumer champion Vix Leyton dissects petty acts that accidentally changed the world, plotting them on an ambitious scientific framework to determine who stopped at the peak – and who disastrously doubled down. Smart, structured nonsense with bite, insight and a whole lot of laughs. Vix is serious about pettiness, and she has a lot of views to share.

Perfect for a BBC Radio 4-leaning brain, history lovers, anyone who has ever briefly considered placing Lego in someone’s shoe, and 50 Cent - he'll love this.
