We had an absolutely wonderful evening. Utterly hilarious and such variety!

Great evening of laughter, excellent value for money. It's always taking a chance when it is new / unknown acts but 5 out of 6 really made us chuckle tonight. A lovely venue. Captain Breadbeard and the puns and games are fun too. I marked it down for atmosphere simply because it was a small audience on this occasion. It was really good to have three, strong female acts. A brilliant night.

A wide range of hilarious comics brilliantly pulled together by superb hosts in a lovely venue and at a steal of a price. A really fun night out, thank you.
