THREE ACTS, TWO HOURS
Done by 9pm.
Touring names, close up
Acts you've seen on TV, Less than ten feet away.

that's himMeet your host
Quick crowd work, sharp punchlines, entirely unpredictable.
Bristol based comedian, improviser and comedy producer. Burt's style combines quick crowd work, sharp punchlines, sarcasm and an unpredictable but likeable stage presence. He runs the room, brings the laughs and keeps the whole night moving.
The room
Off Frogmore Street, under the middle of Bristol. Low ceiling, proper sound, a bar that stays open for the whole show.
No spam, only line-ups
Saturday shows sell out. We'll tell you who's on two weeks early.
