Friday-night club comedy night with a new line-up of UK circuit comedians at Pentahotel Reading, strictly for over-18s.
Live at the Pentahotel is back at Pentahotel Reading on Friday 5 March, part of the Friday Night Club Comedy night that runs every week. It's a straightforward club comedy setup: a rotating line-up of comedians from the UK circuit taking the stage for a couple of hours. The night is run by Nick Byard, and because the line-up changes every Friday, you'll see a different set of acts each time you go.
That's the main thing to keep in mind if you're thinking of making a habit of it. Since it's a weekly club rather than a one-off show, the comedians are often working through new material, so the sets can feel quite different from one week to the next. The promise is high drama, big laughs and revelations, and the line-up is drawn from the UK comedy circuit, which means you're getting a mix of acts rather than one big name carrying the whole night.
It's strictly over-18s, so you'll need to bring ID for the door. Your event wristband also gets you 15% off drinks, which is a handy bit of info if you're planning on staying for a few.
