Maybe the venue could consider keeping a stock of canned alcoholic cocktails in the fridge? This would have been a preferred option for the women in our group.

Friendly, welcoming and warm people. From bar staff to compère. Great night had by myself and three friends who will be back in May as we can’t make April due to other commitments. Maybe a more obvious sign post or banner to welcome guests not familiar with the venue. The mix of comedians pleased all members of the audience from what I could see. Can’t wait to attend again in the further.

Had a really good night, didn't find one of the Acts funny but the others were very entertaining especially Sean Percival.
