On the bill is Joe Zalias – a stand-up with a life story to match his material: ex-firefighter, ex-cage fighter, devoted dad and “spiritual ninja”. Expect raw honesty, warmth, and plenty of laughs, with support slots featuring names like Bill Bailey and Noel Fielding.

Also appearing is Ravi Saini, a fast-rising British Indian comedian delivering relatable, everyday humour with a fresh perspective.

Headlining the night is Alex Boardman, one of the most in-demand interactive comics on the circuit. His free-flowing style, natural charm, and trademark “flattery and abuse” (all in good fun) make for a set that’s different every single time.

Tickets are still just £7.50 – and if you’re coming to all three Comedy Club nights this year, you can get the 3-show bundle for £19.95: add tickets for each show to the same basket to unlock your season pass to laughs.
