Weekly Friday night of club stand-up by UK circuit comedians at the Pentahotel, for over-18s only.
Friday Night Club Comedy is back at the Pentahotel on Friday 12 March, part of the regular run they've got going every Friday night in Reading. It's put on by Mates Rates Comedy Club, who bring a rotating line-up of comedians from across the UK circuit to the hotel's function room. The show runs from 8pm to 10pm, with doors opening half an hour early at 7:30pm, so you've got a bit of time to get sorted before the first act takes the stage.
One of the things that makes this a bit different from a one-off gig is that the line-up changes every single week. You're not seeing the same set twice, and because they pull from the UK circuit, you'll get a mix of names you might recognise and others you've never heard of. The night is billed as promising high drama, big laughs and revelations, and with a new bill each Friday, it's the kind of thing you can keep coming back to without it feeling like a repeat.
If you're into the more raw side of stand-up, Mates Rates Comedy Club also runs 'Mates Rates Comedy Raw', which they describe as Reading's No.1 stand-up comedy open mic. That one happens on Monday nights at 7:30pm, so between the two there's plenty of comedy to go around in the city.

Just a couple of practical things to keep in mind: the show is for over-18s only, and they might ask for ID at the door, so bring yours along. Tickets start at £8 for the first release, then go up to £10 for the second, £12 for standard advance, and £15 for the final release, with £15 also the price on the door. The earlier you book, the cheaper it is, so if you're planning on it, it pays to get your tickets sorted well in advance.
