It's our non-Christmassy, usual wonder-gig of December. Expect nothing to do with Christmas, but do expect excellent stand-up comedy, sketch, variety and more...
Oh boy will this be a great night out...
PAUL TONKINSON
“Hilarious, nobody makes me laugh like Paul Tonkinson…go see him! “ - Michael McIntyre
A sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year, Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. With a unique and distinctive style, Tonkinson is noted for his effervescent physicality and skilful impressions, which bring alive exuberant, tender comic reflections on love, family and the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of 21st century life. A plethora of first class material, combined with tremendous charm and irrepressible, infectious energy make for a formidable talent.
“ Watching Tonkinson storm is one of the best sights in comedy. It’s like watching somebody fly “ - Seann Walsh 2023

“(Atkinson) would otherwise deservedly be a headline act in his own right…through his enthusiasm and shambolic charm managed to captivate the thousand-strong crowd whilst still engaging with the audience on a personal level” - Londonist
All line-ups are correct at the time of publishing. Occasionally we will get changes to the line-up, some of them unavoidable and last minute. It might be travel, or sickness, you can never be sure.
In the event of an act cancellation, we'll always put on a show and to the very best of our abilities get a like-for-like replacement. We'll always pull out the stops to get you the best night we can muster. If you're coming to see a specific advertised comedian, it's best to message us a few days before the gig just to check that something grisly hasn't happened to them.
