Join us at “the wokest pub in Britain” (New York Post) for a night with The People's Comedy – the award-winning stand-up night that's original, countercultural, and downright hilarious. Lateef can no longer attend so we have local leg Brendan Common.
Chortle's Best Comedy Format in Britain – Midlands & the West (2024) & Best Themed Comedy Night outside London (2023)

WHY THE PEOPLE’S COMEDY?
Since 2018, we’ve been on a mission to spotlight comics with something to say – smart, original, counter-culture voices – and make sure they’re actually paid for their graft.
✔ We've raised tens of thousands for comedians through our equal pay structure.
✔ We believe comedy shouldn't just be some "bread and circuses" distraction fest.
