Funhouse Comedy Club - Comedy Night

Steve Bugeja headlines a night of stand-up at Dr. Foster on Thursday 19 November, part of the Funhouse Comedy Club run. He's the main act of the evening, with Markus Birdman opening and Harry Jenkins on the bill too, and Nik Hill compereing the whole thing. The night blends physical comedy with sharp observation, so it's a bit more than just people standing behind a mic.

Funhouse Comedy is a UK stand-up promoter founded by Nottingham comedian Spiky Mike, who launched the shows in 2003. They now run comedy clubs at more than 40 venues and festivals across the Midlands and beyond, and were named Best Independent Comedy Promoter in the UK in 2023, as well as twice Best Midlands Comedy Club at the Chortle-backed Midlands Comedy Awards. Since 2003 their stages have hosted Sarah Millican, Rhod Gilbert, Romesh Ranganathan, Josh Widdicombe, Zoe Lyons, Scott Bennett, Josh Pugh and Gary Delaney. Beyond the club nights, they run stand-up comedy courses and supply comedians for private functions.

The show is at Dr. Foster, Kimberley Warehouse, The Docks, GL1 2ES. It starts at 8:00pm, with doors open from 7:15pm, and food is served until 7:30pm if you want to eat before the comedy kicks off. Tickets are £15 in advance, with a £10 early bird price available.
