Comedy in the Crown

Comedy in the Crown is back at The Crown on Wednesday 4 November, the latest in the free weekly stand-up night run by JEST Another Comedy Club. It's a curated open mic, so it's not just a random mix of whoever turns up; the line-up is put together, and it's been running since 2014, which is why it's built up a regular, comedy-savvy crowd. The room has seen household names alongside emerging comics, so you're as likely to catch a known face as you are someone you've never heard of.

Host Des Feehily is the club's managing director and has more than 25 years in the entertainment business. He's also a serving member of The National Guild of Jesters, known as the Official Jester to the Squire of Kelly in Devon. For this night, he's joined by Martin Dixon, Carl Fawcett, Mark Warwick and Sean Patrick, who'll be the supporting acts on the bill. The whole thing is run by XPG Events.

Beyond the weekly nights, the team also raises money for charity through their 'Stand Up for The Mayor' events. It's a free night, with a voluntary bucket collection at the end, so you can give what you feel the evening was worth. Doors open at 19:30 and the show starts at 20:00. You'll find The Crown at 144-146 Hatfield Road, St Albans, AL1 4JA.
