A event on Wednesday 1st November. The event starts at 20:00.
Bristol's legendary new material night every Wednesday! Started way back in the day by comedy legends Russell Howard and Jon Richardson, Oppo Comedy has seen some of the country's top acts tread its tiny stage.
This week: A regular at comedy clubs all over the country, Alexandra expertly walks the fine line between cheeky and outright smut. She has performed at Reading and Leeds festival, Victorious Festival, as tour support for Frankie Boyle, Eshaan Akbar, Steve Bugeja and Matt Richardson and hosts Dulwich Hamlet Comedy every month.
Her debut show, Not My Finest Hour, sold out its entire at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023, including two extra shows. The show received critical acclaim, after previously being nominated for Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival Awards 2023. She will be performing the show across the UK in 2024.
Originally from the East Midlands and the first in her family to go to university and pursue a career in the arts, Alexandra hilariously skewers the juxtaposition of her working-class upbringing and her current life as an East London based, freelance writer and comedian.
Alexandra has a growing social media following, with over 49k followers on Twitter and over 10k followers on Instagram, with her acerbic tweets regularly going viral. In 2022 she appeared on Radio 4 Extra's Comedy Club with Arthur Smith, the Moon Under Water Podcast with John Robins, Fit and Proper Podcast with Rhys James and Lloyd Griffith and with Peter Crouch on the series Save Our Beautiful Game (Discovery+), and in 2023 she won the inaugural West End Comedy Club Working Class Bursary and was shortlisted for the 99 Club Female and Non-Binary Comedians Programme.
As a writer she has contributed to Have I Got News For You, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Refinery29, Time Out, Metro and Independent magazines, regularly works for Sunday Times Style and the Evening Standard and has been a columnist for NME. She also runs the cult hit indie, rock and roll and britpop club night, Indie Amnesty, which has held sold out shows in London, Barcelona, Margate and Glasgow.
'One of the most exciting new acts on the circuit.' - Frankie Boyle
'Haddow is going places' - London Evening Standard
‘Defiantly optimistic in a way that’s both refreshing and empowering.’ - Rolling Stone
‘a comic with an impressive stage presence.’ - Chortle
‘A whole lot of laughs’ - The Skinny
Acts like James Acaster, Rosie Jones, Josh Widdicombe, Flight of the Conchords, Daniel Kitson and more recently it's been home to rising stars like Morgan Rees, Abi Clarke and more - before they were who they are today.
Come and see fresh, new talent doing fresh new jokes. Every week an exciting headliner, we've tipped to go far. Tell your grandchildren you saw them with us first. Plus our crew of regular local legends who want to make you feel like part of a very special family.
With tickets less than a flat white at the kiosk along the road, plus great cocktails and pizzas, you'd be an idiot to do anything else on a Wednesday night.
