A event held at The Golden Guinea on Monday 7th November. The event starts at 19:30.
Backstreet Comedy Club is a new addition to Bristol's comedy scene, bringing you the best stand up comedians of Bristol and South West and the most hilarious new acts on the scene. Every show is also headlined by a top level comedian, either local or from the national circuit.
Our biweekly shows are on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month, at the cozy backstreet boozer The Golden Guinea in Redcliffe.
Our first show of the month is headlined by a leading comic of the local scene, guaranteed to provide you with big laughs, while our second show of the month is headlined by a top comic from the national circuit, someone you've probably already seen on the telly.

Greg Winfield mixes densely packed punchlines with lighting fast interactions with the audience. Gleefully uncompromising, yet undeniably likeable he creates an utterly unique and hilarious experience for the crowd. Greg had supported the likes of Russell Howard, Nish Kumar, Jon Richardson, Fern Brady, and Paul McCaffrey to name a few and has written for BBC’s ‘Mock the Week’ and Comedy Central’s ‘Roast Battle’.
“With Swaggering stage presence and acerbic wit, Greg Winfield is attuned to an audience on a way that few comics are” Capers Comedy
“Genius, genuinely the best MC’ing I’ve seen in years” Tony Law

Chris Chopping
Bedfordshire-born Chris Chopping began his stand-up career in Wales and quickly racked up a brace of new act competition wins. Since then, his dry outlook and hilarious punchlines have established him as a fixture of professional comedy nights across Wales and beyond. He’s also taken seven shows (including three solo hours) to the Edinburgh Festival where his strong material and deadpan persona have garnered him a cult following.
As seen on BBC One, regular contributor to BBC online content ‘SESH’ and as tour support to Ignacio Lopez, Chris has recently released a one-hour special on UK Comedy streaming service ‘Next Up…’ and has even turned his hand to stand-up in a foreign tongue, making his welsh-language TV debut for S4C’s stand-up showcase Gwerthu Allan. As a writer Chris’ work has garnered over 5 million views to date, having written opinion pieces, music and pro-wrestling journalism and topical news response articles for WhatCulture, Golwg360 (welsh language) and Do Not Read.
“Really quick, really f**king funny” - Fern Brady
