Oppo Comedy has a unique heritage - set up by some of Bristol's biggest comics way back in the day, anyone you've ever heard of has cut their teeth at this night.
This week we are joined by headliner Sooz Kempner! Sooz Kempner is an award-winning (Musical Comedy Awards Best Newcomer, Funny Women Variety Award) comedian, singer, writer and actor who has written and performed nine solo stand-up hours at the Edinburgh Fringe, the most recent, Y2K Woman, selling out almost every day. She is a regular collaborator with Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer the Opera, Made in Dagenham, This Morning with Richard not Judy) and hosts two podcasts, Mystery on the Rocks and QueenPod, the official podcast for the band Queen. In 2023 she was the lead in Doctor Who’s Doom’s Day, a multi-platform spin-off for BBC Studios. Throughout lockdown she made a variety of online content including livestreams via Twitch and viral political videos where Donald Trump's words are delivered verbatim by Liza Minnelli, and parodies of Nadine Dorries and Liz Truss. These have received press in The Guardian, The Independent and The Metro as well as in the LA Times and Chicago Tribune stateside. Sooz is a guest lead in an upcoming new US sitcom for Amazon Prime and CBS.
Here's the deal: there's a family of delightful characters regularly bringing you their new jokes, joined by local guests doing short spots and, crucially - MOST IMPORTANTLY - we invite absolutely cracking headliners to come and show us what's in their finely-tuned comedy brains. Every week, on a Tuesday night. What more could you ask for?
Oh yeah, cheap cocktails and Detroit Pizza! The perfect night out!
