The Comedy Clubhouse

MC: Aidan Ryans
Aidan opens the night. He’s the host with the most (or at least the most banter). He’ll warm you up, get the crowd going, toss a bit of local colour in—“where you from, mate?”, “who’s having a pint if diesel?”—that kind of thing. He knows how to keep things moving so you’re not sat waiting for ages. According to his IG bio: “Actually quite funny” — modest, but fair.  Expect him to riff off the crowd, tease you gently, and set the scene for the headliners.

What to Expect

Arrive, find a seat (the club’s welcoming, you’ll feel right at home)

MC gets things rolling, maybe 15-20 mins of warm-up

Loads of great acts

Short interval (grab another drink)

James Kilvington finishes strong: stand-up with a story, laughs and maybe a moment of “yeah, we’ve been there”

The whole thing run by Gobful—professional, but still local, still friendly.

Why It’s Worth It
Because it’s local. Big names, but not so far you feel removed. You’re with people who speak your language, who know Northern life. You’ll laugh at the familiar, you’ll think just a bit, and you’ll come away saying “that was a good night out
