Dead Funny Comedy Night

Dead Funny Comedy Night returns to Outpost on Friday 16 October, with a fresh lineup of six acts compered by Alastair Clark. It's a monthly night in the heart of Liverpool city centre, and this is the October edition.

What sets it apart from your usual comedy club night is the brief. It's billed as a friendly space for new material, new acts and experimentation, and it doesn't stick to one particular style. The night showcases comedy in all its forms, from straight stand-up to avant-garde weirdness, so you're as likely to see a comic working through a new set as you are something a bit more off-the-wall. Because it's a space for new material, you're seeing work in progress rather than a polished, road-tested hour.

That's where the monthly format comes in. There's a fresh lineup of six acts every single month, so the bill changes each time. Alastair Clark keeps the whole thing moving as compere, tying the different acts together throughout the night. If you've been before, the faces on stage will be different this time around.

It all goes down at Outpost, 77 Renshaw Street, L1 2SJ, in Liverpool city centre. The night starts at 7:30pm on Friday 16 October.
