Really enjoyed our night. The venue is tiny which makes the experience more intimate, and all the comedians were genuinely funny.
Great evening! Never been to a comedy club before so wasn’t sure what to expect but Robyn was an amazing host/mc, really funny and connected with the audience so well. The other acts were also brilliant, funny and we timed also! Will definitely return in the future!
