Stand-up comedy show by Paul Sykes, presented by NCF Comedy, at Fishergate Point Studios.
Paul Sykes brings his one-man show to Fishergate Point on Sunday 8 November, part of the NCF Comedy programme. He's a Wakefield stand-up billed as the city's 'infamous hardman', and this is the show he's taking on the road.
It's a journey of survival and self-discovery that's taken him from Paris and Panama City to Pontefract and Pyongyang, and it's built around the idea of being a big fish in a big pond — with the running joke being that Wakefield is the 11th largest city in Britain when you count the wider districts. The show has been seen on BBC Three, and Sykes won the BBC New Comedy Awards 2025, with EdFringeReview.com calling the act 'raucous and genuinely hilarious'.

It's a solo set, so it's just him on stage for the full hour. The night is presented by NCF Comedy, and it's for ages 16 and over. Doors open at 6:10pm, with the show starting at 6:30pm. Tickets are £6.60, which is £6.00 general admission plus a £0.60 booking fee.
