Weekly over-18s stand-up comedy club night with a new lineup of comedians every Friday at the Pentahotel.
Friday Night Club Comedy is back at the Pentahotel Reading on Friday 5 February, part of the weekly club night run by Mates Rates Comedy Club. It's a stand-up night that pulls some of the best comedians working the UK circuit into the hotel's room, and the lineup changes every single week, so you're never seeing the same bill twice.
If you're not familiar with the name, Mates Rates Comedy Club is a regular presence in the town's comedy scene. This Friday night slot is their main club room, but they also run Mates Rates Comedy Raw, which they bill as Reading's number one stand-up open mic — that one happens on Monday nights at 7:30pm, so if you're into seeing new material being worked through, there's a bit of both to choose from in one week.
The Friday night show is for a slightly different crowd, though. It's a full club night with a curated lineup of circuit pros rather than an open mic, and the organisers describe it as high drama, big laughs and revelations. Because the bill is completely new every week, it's the kind of thing you can go back to without ever seeing the same set twice. It's strictly over-18s, and they might ask for ID at the door, so keep that in mind if you're bringing anyone who's on the younger end of that.
