Scott Bennett : Great Scott!

Recently described by the Evening Standard as “Live Comedy’s best kept secret” Scott Bennett has been blazing a trail through the stand-up circuit for the best part of a decade. He’s written for many high profile acts such as Chris Ramsey and Jason Manford, and recently recorded his debut on BBC One’s Live at the Apollo. In massive demand as a comedy writer and with regular appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and The Now Show, Scott is an act on the verge of breaking through into the big time.

Another great night of comedy featuring 3 comedians from the stand up circuit and our Barnstormer’s compere. Tonight’s bill features Dean Coughlan, Chris Kehoe & Simon Lomas plus a special addition!

Tour support for Sarah Millican, the hilarious Sally-Anne Hayward is one of the leading comics on the UK circuit with her dry but playful look at how we live our lives. In her new show “Ever So Nice” she will teach you how to indulge another break up story, jazz up an office full of passive aggressive moaners/twats/hypochondriacs, and create fake tears to blend into any situation. Namaste.

Wickedly Funny – Sarah Millican
