The Alternative Comedy Show

A celebration of comic ideas and originality.

Discover fresh comedic talent and indulge in a night of laughter!

With a headline set from Frankie Thompson, join us for this celebration of comic ideas and originality.

Frankie Thompson achieved sold-out shows Body Show, Forbruker, and Catts, that received a plethora of 5-star reviews, after successful runs across Edinburgh Fringe, Soho Theatre and Camden People’s Theatre.

Joining will be Funny Women One to Watch 23 Marty Gleeson. Winner of LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year 2024, with her offbeat, disarming and whimsical performance style.

We are also treated to a set from the award-winning Nathan D’Arcy Roberts. His credits include: Trying (Apple TV),  Famalam (BBC Three), Horrible Histories (CBBC), Lemons (Sky Arts).

Our MC will be Rob Copland: a madcap, mustachioed, and idiocentric clown for hire. His most recent show Gimme (One With Everything) won the Victoria Wood Award at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024.

Please note that line-ups are subject to change.
