A event on Wednesday 21st September. The event starts at 20:00.
Oppo is Bristol's most legendary comedy night! Started by Mark Olver and then run by subsequent generations of Bristol comics, including Russell Howard, Jon Richardson, John Robins, Fin Taylor and Mat Ewins. Oppo is a new material comedy night that has played host to some of the biggest names in comedy in its long history.
And this week is no exception:
Andrew O'Neill is an award-winning comedian, musician and best-selling writer. A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up.
Andrew has performed in over a dozen different countries, at over a hundred different festivals and is equally at home in rowdy comedy clubs as performing to their own cult following.
They co-write and star in Radio 4’s occult sitcom Damned Andrew.
They are author of the book A History Of Heavy Metal, described by living legend Alan Moore as
"a comprehensive landmark analysis of an enormous area of music that has been too long without such a thing, and has the massive advantage of the funny being turned up to twelve. A loud and thoroughly engrossing love-story."

TV credits include Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Saxondale, 50 Years Of Rock Excess, The Blame Game, Spicks and Specks and Good News Week. Their own Radio 4 stand-up show Pharmacist Baffler won an award.A natural fit at music festivals, they have performed stand-up at Glastonbury, Download, Leeds and Reading, Bloodstock, Latitude, V-Fest and supported Amanda Palmer, Les Claypool and once even the Kaiser Chiefs at the London Palladium.
They are a founder member of the Victorian-obsessed punk band The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing, whose distinctive anachro-punk gained a cult following and besmirched the stages of music festivals worldwide.
O'Neill has written and toured a shit-tonne of critically-acclaimed solo comedy shows, including Occult Comedian, Winston Churchill Was Jack The Ripper, MINDSPIDERS, Alternative, Andrew O'Neill is Easily Distracted and the current Andrew O'Neill's Black Magick Fun Hour.
From Flight of the Conchords and Daniel Kitson to James Acaster, Rosie Jones and Josh Widdecombe in recent years. Every Thursday night at Barrelhouse. Hosts Louise Leigh, Firuz Ozari and more bring you new material from a handpicked selection of local acts and national headliners trying out their new jokes. For a measly £3. I mean come on? Doors at 7.30 for an 8 start.
