A event on Wednesday 18th May. The event starts at 19:00.
At Ye Olde Comedy Club, we bring you some of the best stand up comedians of Bristol and South West working on new material, and introduce you to hilarious new acts on the scene. We're on every Wednesday at the intimate Hey Dude Bar on King Street.
You'll be provided plentiful chuckles by the acts and the headliner, who's a top comic of the local scene. Our headliners are comedians on the rise and on their way to big things, and they are specially selected to give you great laughs and make you want to come back for more.
All this for less than the price of a pint!

This week's headliner is Chris Chopping.
Bedfordshire-born Chris Chopping began his stand-up career in Wales and quickly racked up a brace of new act competition wins. Since then, his dry outlook and hilarious punchlines have established him as a fixture of professional comedy nights across Wales and beyond. He’s also taken seven shows (including three solo hours) to the Edinburgh Festival where his strong material and deadpan persona have garnered him a cult following.
As seen on BBC One, regular contributor to BBC online content ‘SESH’ and as tour support to Ignacio Lopez, Chris has recently released a one-hour special on UK Comedy streaming service ‘Next Up…’ and has even turned his hand to stand-up in a foreign tongue, making his welsh-language TV debut for S4C’s stand-up showcase Gwerthu Allan.
“Really quick, really f**king funny” - Fern Brady
“Proper Funny and Clever. An absolute treat” - Larry Dean
“Charming and sharp with intelligent and gorgeously-crafted routines. And so wonderfully funny” - Jordan Brookes
"A really good comic, tremendously clever in both his delivery and subject matter" - Metro
