Philippa M reviewed Maisie Adam BUZZED (Work In Progress) which happened on 7:30pm on Wed 15th Jun 2022.

Unfortunately Maisie cancelled due to illness. The notice given was rather late, however I appreciate that was out of your control. I hope Maisie manages to reschedule the gig.

Philippa M reviewed Thanyia Moore: Bully which happened on 8:45pm on Wed 15th Jun 2022.

Thaniya was great, it's never easy delivering a Work in Progress gig however, Thaniya did us proud. Good atmosphere, great value. Only criticism was the sound quality, it could have been better. Thank you.

Leslie H reviewed Olga Koch: Just Friends (Work in Progress) which happened on 8:45pm on Wed 15th Jun 2022.

Olga was Fantastic and £5 is a bargain. The Piper could be a great small venue for comedy but the chairs could be better and more thought to the atmosphere created.
