Kicking away the winter blues we welcome back our ever popular, and ever hilarious, comedy club featuring some of the best UK comedians on the UK stand-up circuit for your laughing pleasure!
This month’s cracking club features the comedy skills of Louise Leigh, Ben van Der Velde, Blank Peng and headlined by local comedy legend Mike Cox!
LOUISE LEIGH
“Like the kind of Radio 2 DJ who’d be caught in the gossip columns…Brilliant.”
Award-nominated comedian, Louise Leigh wanted to be comedian when she was sixteen, but it took her until her forties to get round to it. Now, she brings daftness, deftness and some brilliant physical comedy to a stage near you. You’ll never think the same way again about shaving your legs.
“Imaginative, brilliant”
MIKE COX
Mike Cox has been performing comedy since 2011 and quickly made his mark on the comedy scene with his sharp witted observational style which saw him crowned South Coast Comedian of the Year in 2014 and the Not So New Comedian of the Year in 2022.
Mike also made the final of the prestigious Amused Moose Laugh Off in 2016 and British Comedian of the Year 2023.
He can be seen at comedy clubs up and down the UK.
“Like an Everyman, if that Everyman had delicious cynicism and razor sharp wit.”
Ben Van der Velde
