The Comedy Social

30th April £17.50 - £35.00

Event Sold Out!

There is a revised running order that we emailed out to everyone yesterday (see below) due to travel issues with our London based comics. Gates now open 6.45pm with comedy starting at 7.20pm.

Great news for comedy fans! Northwood House presents the first of it’s new Comedy Socials…a chance to get together with some friends and have a right old laugh!

On Saturday 30th April we’ll be bringing three new up and coming comics from the UK comedy circuit to the Northwood House Ballroom, who’ll get the chance to tickle our ribs with their topical and inappropriate jokes and get our belly laughs going. This is the first of three scheduled comedy socials, with others to follow later in the year.

Don’t expect household names though (you’d be having a laugh at this ticket price!) but these guys come very highly recommended to us by a top comedy agency…so here are the little jokers:

PADDY YOUNG                          

About Paddy:

“One of the most exciting new comics I’ve seen for a long time. Confident, assured stage presence with gags that have me laugh days afterwards. A very funny man.” Joe Lycett

– 2Northdown New Act Finalist 2021

– Sellout Edinburgh Fringe 2021

– TV: Timewasters (ITV2), Random Acts (Channel 4), Dive In & Do It (Sky)

 

DAN TIERNAN

About Dan:

Dan is a high energy act with a set full to the brim of smart offbeat jokes about his chaotic life…which is pretty full on as a 25 year old, gay Mancunian guy with dyspraxia!

-Chortle Awards, Best Newcomer (2022) – Nominee

-North West Comedy Awards, Break Through Act of the Year (2021) – Winner

-Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year (2021) – Third Place

-West Didsbury Comedy Festival New Comedian of the Year (2021) – Winner

 

HORATIO GOULD

About Horatio:

Horatio is a London based writer/comedian who since making the final of ‘South Coast Comedian of the Year’ in 2019 has gone on to be one of the most exciting new voices on the comedy circuit. Horatio is known for a blend of absurd observations and dry social commentary as well as being especially good at riffing and improvising with any crowd.

Horatio Gould is undoubtedly the SPICIEST comedian on the circuit. Been described by spice merchant’s as the ‘VINDALOO of comedy!!’

So let’s get social and have a laugh!

This is all about a sociable night out and doing something different in Cowes rather than going to the pub or out for dinner! So gather some mates or some girlfriends…or even the other half and come along!

The vibe is very much “comedy club”, with a relaxed lounge and table seating plan…perfect for relaxing with friends on a fun night out! As well as the comedy we will have some great live acoustic music from local Cowes boys, the Jimmy’s Little Fish Duo, who’ll be here to open and close the Comedy Social and entertain us during the interval.

“Jimmy’s Little Fish Duo” 

The Northwood House Bar will be open all through the evening from 6.45pm to 11pm for drinks and bar snacks, with table service also available through our on-line drinks app.

Revised schedule and line up as of 28th April (due to change in published public transport times to return our comics to London*:

6.45pm-Doors open and meet friends in the House Bar for pre-drinks.

7.00pm: Jimmy’s Little Fish Duo play the Ballroom.

7.20pm: All guests seated: Our first comedian will be our MC to welcome you and warm you up for the second man on stage.

7.35pm: Our second comedian takes the stage, (maybe nervously, depending on how the MC has gone down!)

8.05: Interval-Live music and bar break

8.25: Our MC returns to prepare you for the next act!

8.40: Our third comedian takes you through until around 10pm, hoping that half the audience hasn’t left by then of course!

9.15pm: Jimmy’s Little Fish Duo & general socialising in the House Bar and Ballroom

(*timings are approximate only, but we will start the comedy at 7.20pm)

Age suitability and restrictions
The comedy social  is strictly for 18 year old’s and over only due to the possible adult-themed content of the comedy. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone without valid ID/proof of age whom the staff management deem to appear to be underage.

Comedy content warning
We have no control over the content of the comedian’s routines (and what would be the fun of that if we did?) but as with all adult comedy you should expect to hear some rude and offensive language and listen to content with strong adult and controversial themes.  If you are likely to be offended by such content then you should not book, as no refunds can be given.

Disclaimer: The material and opinions shared by the comedians are their own and are not representative in any way of  the venue and organisers (Northwood House Charitable Trust Company Ltd).

Heckling/disruption during the event
We have a strict policy of no heckling whilst the comedians are performing their routine. This is disruptive to audience members surrounding you and also to the comedians on stage. Remember, people have paid to listen to the acts, not to you! Anybody repeatedly talking loudly/heckling/shouting out/acting in a disrespectful manner will be asked to leave immediately without a refund…you have been warned!
