What's On Thursday 24th February in Bristol

Events on Thursday 24th February

“Now we don't just mean Valentine's as in "oh I love you, be mine, yay!"...nahhhhh! We're talking self love, unrequited love, tales of heartbreak, the love of a nice cosy bed at the end of the day, the love of books, the love of film and above all screaming from the rooftops that love is love and is not defined by gender!”

“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. 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 Morgan Rees, Louise Leigh, Jessie Nixon, Abi Clarke and Alex Kitson 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?”

“The multi-award winning comedian Paul Foot presents his brand new show. Tired of the goose? Swan Power is here. Paul opens his beak and explores topics including Nanna on the rack, murdering Santas and interfering ambulance drivers (self-appointed busybodies!). Plus Billy Zane’s Valuable Diamond (c/o RMS Titanic). Live by the swan, fly by the swan.”

“Big pop may not be Craig Clouse's forte. Even so, he's still managed to dabble in more styles than Picasso's favourite paintbrush. People sometimes file Shit And Shine under "noise rock" which is understandable because it is, objectively speaking, THE BEST GENRE. Such pigeonholing does a huge disservice in this case, however, seeing as Shit And Shine have released everything from heavy metal perversion pieces to pounding and shiny techno.”
