TweetRoasted Comedy presents another 'Scratch Night' featuring a double bill of two rising stars presenting previews of their brand new shows!

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.

I've been saying for years now that rooftops are the place for comedy. We tried bringing it to the streets, and it did not work so this was the best way to get as far away from that as possible. Was I impressed by the high quality entertainment offered for a very reasonable price? Yes. Did the soft summer breeze add to an atmosphere so soft and lilting like the kiss from your first love that felt not like you were watching a comedy show, but being bathed in one? I would describe it so. I couldn't have wished for a better evening.
