WHY THE PEOPLE’S COMEDY?
We formed in 2018 based on 2 pillars:
1) To create a platform for hilarious comics who are counter-cultural (original, imaginative, underrepresented, alternative.. Revolutionary...).
2) A place where all comics are paid, no questions asked (this might not sound revolutionary but in our sector it sadly has been).

To this day, we are the only comedy night to pay all of its comedians, and we will never have it any other way.

Also, we don’t do "headliners" — there's no pressure on the last act or the audience to laugh at the grand finale... It's chilled and we platform each comedian equally. We are selective with the comedians and each one will make you laugh of course!
