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.

Why The People’s Comedy?
Since 2018, we’ve been on a mission to spotlight comics with something to say – smart, original, countercultural voices – and make sure they’re actually paid fairly. Revolutionary.

✔ We’ve raised tens of thousands for comedians through our equal pay structure.
✔ Comedy shouldn’t just be “bread and circuses” – it should make you laugh, think, and question.
