WHY THE PEOPLE'S COMEDY?
The People's Comedy formed in 2018 with the aim of platforming comedians with a message (think counter-culture, underrepresented, original) and ensuring that they're paid for their craft. On top of that, no headliners showcasing each act's unique comedic voice.
Also, this night supports the collectively owned PRSC building to grow and thrive. More about them here: https://prsc.org.uk/
