Cancelled This Week

We're very sorry, but due to unforeseen ongoing-ness of the renovations to the room, we've had to pull the gig this week. We just can't get the builders out. I guess, you know, they're perfectionists.

But it's going to be AWESOME when it's done.... Soundproofed room, stage spotlights, white backdrop for projections an' shit. Yeah...

Da actz Thursday 23rd April

LUCY PORTER headlines! Hurrah!

Recently seen on Have I Got News For you, Lucy is also....

“Possibly the most natural and most charming performer on the fringe, she has audiences in the palm of her hand … seriously funny … the most heart-warming, loveable show around”
Fest Magazine

“The smile of a pixie but the mouth of a docker. She also makes some unexpected, gob-smackingly libellous gags which reveal the dark intelligence beneath the bubbly surface, and her audience banter confirms just how quick on her feet she is”
The Independent on Sunday

“Lucy Porter has long had a reputation for offering a real ‘night out’ and not just a comedy show and her Happiness provides just that … the slickest hour on the fringe”
Sunday Telegraph

“Porter is probably one of the best ‘night out’ comedians working on the fringe … she’s an unavoidably magnetic character … a sharp yet warm natural wit”
Metro

So that'll be ace. We also have...

JULIET MEYERS!
ALFIE BROWN!
PAUL MCAFFREY!
DARREN RUDDELL!
....and HILS BARKER MCing!

Oh fuckin yeah.

Hope to see you there!

original, off-kilter and cliché-free” **** Three Weeks

along with...

HILS BARKER -
