Weekly Friday night of stand-up from Mates Rates Comedy at the Pentahotel, with a 15% discount on drinks for over-18s.
Friday Night Club Comedy is back at The Pentahotel on Friday 12 February, part of the regular club night run by Mates Rates Comedy. They describe it as bringing some of the best comedians working the UK circuit to Reading, and it's a weekly thing rather than a one-off: it runs every Friday from 8pm to 10pm, with a new lineup each week. If you've been before, you'll know the drill — a few different acts on one bill, so you get a good range of styles in a single night rather than just one person holding the room for two hours.
Because the lineup changes every week, it's a bit of a different beast each time. One Friday might lean more towards storytelling, the next towards punchy, fast-paced stand-up, and since it's a club night, you're as likely to catch a seasoned pro as you are someone working through newer material. It's the kind of night that works just as well if you're a regular as it does if you're just popping in for one evening.
There are a couple of practical things to keep in mind. The night is strictly over-18s, so make sure you've got your ID on you. If you're planning on having a drink, your event wristband gets you 15% off at the bar, which is a nice little extra to have in your back pocket.
