This is an 18+ event.

Sep 16th line up:

Friz Frizzle

Friz Frizzle is a Songruiner. Armed with a piano, they'll take the tunes you know and love and mess around with them until you don't want to know or love them anymore. It's better than it sounds. Nominated for the WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards 2017 and 2018, Winner of the TenFootCity Comedian of the Year 2017 and sell-out Edinburgh Fringe shows every year since 2015.

Jules O'Brian

Jules O'Brian was shortlisted for Funny Women 2021, and performs at venues and festivals around the country, telling anyone who will listen about ageing disgracefully, body hang-ups, parenting, and dating. She is TalkTalk's official voice – chosen by none other than the legend Bernard Cribbins – and her silly writings feature frequently in magazines including Prima and MamaLife. This former teacher's relaxed and chatty style, crowd interaction and warmth, all served with a sardonic wit, make her a natural crowd pleaser.

Ian Peskett

A local comedy with killer one-liners and a knack for pushing the line. A Late Stage favourite.

Sat 21st line up: 

Philip Simon

For over a decade, Philip has been entertaining audiences as a comic and compere in comedy clubs, on cruise ships and at corporate events. He also created the hit lockdown children's joke show, School's Out Comedy Club.

"Solid, strong stand-up. A Comedy Store act...Definitely one to be reckoned with."
Hils Jago, Amused Moose

+Two more great acts TBA

Danny Deegan

With the confidence and swagger that you might expect of a North-West comedian at the very top of his game, Danny Deegan is a comedian, writer and actor who has become a regular at most of the major comedy clubs in the UK since he began performing in 2003.

"Charming, witty and most importantly funny"
Metro

Mad Ron

Mad Ron – The Third Hardest Man in Uxbridge, is a comedy creation of Steve Lee, first appearing on the comedy circuit back in December 2015. Mad Ron has taken the circuit by storm. Now a multi award winning act, Mad Ron also finished 3rd in the prestigious 2019 NATY's.

"Amid his threatening manner, this unapologetic wrong'un bemoans such new fangled developments as vaping or email, and has amusingly intolerant lines to explain why. It's a well-constructed, well-practised set providing a dependable, gag-focussed start to the night….."
Steve Bennett (Chortle)

Ben Harrington

Ben is an established performer on the comedy circuit playing to audiences throughout England and Wales. Over the last few years, he has built an impressive resume as a comedian and entertainer.

He has a relatable demeanour which sometimes boils over into passionate frustrations about his challenges with the world creating energy and laughter.
"I genuinely enjoyed what you did last night. As you know I had little doubt inside me but I thought you had great presence and confidence and carried your material really well" Graeme Coulam, Hungerford Comedy Club
