The upcoming session on 17 April 2026 features a lineup of six comedians. Hannah Brackenbury, who won the Best Show award at the 2018 Brighton Fringe, will be performing her set, which often includes songs about topics like cats, Scrabble, and Deliveroo drivers. Joining her is CK Nath, an observational comedian and voice actor whose material draws on her experiences growing up in India and living as an immigrant in the UK. The lineup also includes Tony O'Hara, a Dublin native who focuses on the nuances of being Irish in the south of England and the realities of middle age, alongside Heman, who incorporates self-deprecation and observational humour into his act.
Rounding out the bill are Craig Alexander and Christian Miles. Craig Alexander, who has recently returned to the UK after performing in Canada and at festivals in Leicester and Glasgow, delivers a mix of one-liners and short jokes. Christian Miles, who has been developing his act over the last four years and recently reached the semi-finals of the 'So You Think You're Funny' competition at the Edinburgh Fringe, completes the roster for this date.
For those interested in future dates, the organisers have confirmed a schedule for the rest of 2026, with sessions planned for 15 May, 19 June, 17 July, 14 August, 18 September, 16 October, 13 November, and 18 December. It is a straightforward setup if you are in the mood for live comedy without the usual ticket price, and it provides a consistent space for both established and developing acts to perform in the city.
