About this event

Discover the new stars of stand-up and the best from the fringe, at Theatre Severn's outrageously popular comedy club! Early booking recommended.

This is your October line-up...

MC - JAMES COOK

James Cook is a professional comedian based in Birmingham, UK, with over 1,000 gigs worth of experience as an act and compere. His act has been described as “truly original” (Danny Wallace - off of the telly), whereas he’s been called “suave and chirpy” by that publishing powerhouse, the Bromsgrove Advertiser, and a “sarcastic raconteur” by the Leeds Metro.


OPEN - JAKE BAKER

West-Country-born Jake Baker has been delighting audiences all over the UK with his off-beat style and well crafted jokes. From the world famous Comedy Store in London to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Jake is a unique act that should not be missed. He's "Endearingly offbeat, with great comic timing and an engagingly whimsical mind" - Edinburgh Reporter

MIDDLE - DOUG CARTER

Born in Coventry, and now living in Bedworth, Doug Carter first trod the boards at Birmingham’s The Roadhouse in the spring of 2017, though it was nearly nine months later before he decided to continue with stand-up. He works in the construction industry, and combines observational humour with real-life stories.

CLOSER - ROBERT WHITE

Robert White, the only Autistic, gay, dyslexic, cross-lateral, quarter- welsh, webbed-toed, hyper-sensitive, Gluten-intolerant, pseudo-genius, musical comedian there is… probably! Robert is a sought after act who regularly performs in big clubs, little clubs, those in-between, theatres and festivals around the UK and abroad, after gaining 2nd Place on Britain’s Got Talent – 2018.
