Reviews for previous Hastings Comedy Festival 2026 events

Ray N reviewed Alasdair Beckett–King which happened on 7:30pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

an excellent work in progress gig, Alasdair was very good explained the process and tried out his new material and it all went well, a bigger audience would have been better, but it is a small venue, but it was an intimate jig and it all went very well
