A event held at The Room Above on Sunday 26th November. The event starts at 19:30.


Sam Michael - "World's Oldest Man" (WIP)

Sam Michael's new work in progress show 'World's Oldest Man' explores feeling older than your years (even in your teens!) exploring the missed adventures of 'youff' whilst trying to relive them. The show also covers what happened when Sam actually met the Guinness World Record certified world's oldest man…

Sam Michael is a stand up comedian and award winning podcaster who has been described as "effortlessly able to win over a crowd" (We Are Cult Magazine) and outright "hilarious" (BBC Radio Wiltshire). He is a finalist in this year’s Stand Up For Cider competition.

His online comedy sketches have amassed over a Million hits online and attracted thousands of followers.

"A dry affair for all comedy fans" - Bristol 24/7

"The most original act I have seen in ages" - Simon Munnery


Phil Wathern - "As Luck Would Have It" (WIP)

A Work in Progress show about managing to being consistently unlucky in the face of great opportunity, from a comedian who had the misfortune to make his first steps into live comedy just weeks before the pandemic made it illegal.

Expect well constructed, self-deprecating and generally dour joke-packed routines, delived with a deceptively charming and laid back stage presence, from a 2022 Stand Up For Cider new act competition finalist.

"A very skilled writer....his material was strong throughout" - Notts Comedy Review
