Comedy Launch Night @ House of Montra

House of Montra is bringing live stand-up to the heart of Milton Keynes every Thursday, and the latest session is Comedy Launch Night on Thursday 29 October. It's running from the venue's newest space, and the night does double duty as an open mic and a new material session. That means you'll see first-time comedians sharing the bill with seasoned professionals testing out brand-new bits, so the room usually holds a mix of raw, first-go sets and more polished work.

The line-up for this one is Bob Mills, President Obonjo, and Anthony Williams. With the open mic side of things, there's also room for newcomers to get a turn on the mic, and the organisers are always looking for new talent, so if you've been thinking about having a go yourself, they're open to people getting in touch to grab a spot.

Once the comedy wraps up, the night carries on with drinks and music, so it's more of a full evening than a quick in-and-out. The venue is House of Montra, at 488 Midsummer Boulevard, MK9 2EA, right in the centre of town. It starts at 8:00pm, and tickets are £12.
