We Bring the Funny

Planning an event? Need some laughs? We’ve got you.

Whether you’re running a show in a village hall, programming comedy events at your local pub, social club, PTA fundraiser or hosting a pop-up comedy night in a café or brewery, with over 15 years experience we’re here to help you make it unforgettable.

Forget open mic nights – running a great comedy night takes more than enthusiasm and a dad joke. It takes experience, quality acts, and the right support. That’s where we come in.

We work with the very best comedians on the UK circuit – including big names and TV personalities including Sara Pascoe, Gary Delaney, Zoe Lyons and Hal Cruttenden – as well as rising stars and experienced circuit pros. You can trust us to find the right acts for your audience.

If you’d like to book a show, see one in action, or just have a chat about what’s possible, drop us an email.

We care about comedy

We believe great comedy can light up any room, whether it’s a cosy pub, a village hall, a brewery, a back garden, or a community centre. With over 15 years of organising shows in venues of all shapes and sizes, we’ve helped hosts put on one-off fundraisers, monthly residencies, and memorable pop-up events. Our goal? To make the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and tailored to your audience and space.

We pride ourselves on:

  • Professionalism and fairness – for venues, audiences and comedians alike
  • Clear pricing – no hidden costs; every quote is broken down so you know exactly what you’re paying for
  • Audience-first thinking – we’ll help you build a line-up that keeps the crowd coming back
  • Friendly, personal service – we care about your comedy night as much as you do.
