Share:
TweetRoasted Comedy presents another 'Scratch Night' featuring a double bill of two rising stars presenting previews of their brand new shows! These nights are perfect for comedy lovers who want to get involved in the creative process and enjoy the nuts and bolts of building a show, with these two acts workshopping new material and show structures as they hone their ideas ahead of the Fringe in 2027 - expect big laughs, big ideas, and a little bit of chaos...
CHRISTOPHER BEANLAND: SMALL PLATES RUINED MY LIFE
Christopher is fuming about sourdough, matcha, gentrification, hipsters, Love Island, pop culture, the media, Temu, Kazakhstan, Birmingham; and wondering if an unhealthy obsession with brutalist architecture is ruining his life? Also - when did we stop believing that the future would be better? Have we just given up on progress? Winner: West End New Act One To Watch Award 2025, multiple finalist: Independent Podcast Awards, BBC Midlands Today, BBC Radio. 12k on TikTok. Work In Progress.

Intellectual slag Joe Dehuai is a Welsh comedian with a masters degree in The Streets (MSc Spatial Planning and Development). This confessed king of the dweebs brings his ‘skewed observational take on the world’(standupforcomedy.co.uk) to some of the coolest topics, from the meaning of curbs to 15 minutes cities and other less aminstream obcurities. A star of BBC Sesh and writer for BBC Radio Wales, Joe performs at clubs across Wales and the South West, and took his latest solo show ‘Let's Unionise This Comedy Club!’ to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2026. He's also on a mission to rank every UK council logo from worst to best.

I came with my wife and a friend of ours and we didn’t stop laughing from start to finish, the venue was amazing with drinks and snacks available, the event took place on a rooftop terrace which was perfect for the summer evening, the host was hilarious and friendly, Cordelia was a funny, relatable and thoughtful comedian, while Burger and a Pint were outrageous, out there and equally very funny. The two acts complemented each other really well. The best night I’ve had in ages! 10/10
