Our hit monthly comedy club is back under a new banner, but with the same popular format. Programmed by Little Wander, Wales’ biggest comedy producers who are responsible for touring the likes of James Acaster, Bridget Christie and Ria Lina, it continues to showcase a host of award winners and TV names. Each show features a headliner, opening act and MC for the unbeatable price of £10.

HEADLINER – ERIC RUSHTON

Eric Rushton is an award-winning comedian, writer and actor.

Eric was the recipient of the first ever Channel 4 Sean Lock Award in 2023 and won Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year in 2020.

TV credits include ITV2’s The Stand Up Sketch Show and the latest season of Such Brave Girls on BBC3.

As well as performing, Eric is a talented writer and has written for The Last Leg, Late Night Lycett and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
