The Comedy Social 09/05/2025 Admission £17.50

9th May £12.50 - £17.50

Great news for comedy fans following on from our latest show! The Comedy Social is back at Northwood House…so grab some friends, prime your giggle muscles and get ready for our next instalment….and what a line up we have for you! So without further ado we welcome the following belly busters!

Here he is…your Headliner (and its a huge one!) RUSSEL HICKS:

Russell Hicks is one of the UK’s most razor-sharp and exciting comic talents. An American based in London, he is a provocative and exuberant comedian known for his masterful improvisation, and has appeared on some of the UK’s biggest TV networks, including Channel 4, BBC and ITV. Fresh from winning the Prague Fringe Festival 2024, Russell is on tour across the UK. This will be a performance not to be missed and we cannot wait to welcome Russel to Northwood House this May where his official UK tour comes to it’s finale!

 

Russell’s TV credits – Amazon Prime Video’s Lovestruck High, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Have I Got News For You, The Last Leg.

And also introducing MATT ROUSE:

With his engaging comic style and captivating stage presence, Matt Rouse is a new name making big moves in stand up.

Already winner of the respected Hastings Fringe New Act Competition and nominated for the BBC New Comedy Awards, the rising star has become known for his fresh viewpoint and cleverly packaged strong material. 

In 2023, Matt performed stand-up on the BAFTA-winning The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan (C4).

His mix of infectious charm and sharp wit is fast securing his position as a major new talent to watch.

And making up this incredible line up SUNJAI ARIF:

Resident MC for the Portsmouth Guildhall (LOL comedy), Black Cherry Theatre (fortnightly), regular MC for Bournemouth Pavillion (LOL comedy) and occasional MC for Manfords comedy club Southampton and Wedgewood rooms in Portsmouth (Off the Kerb).

“Truly entertaining” – DORSET ECHO

 

And of course your AMAZING host and MC: PAUL COX, returning to his second home of Cowes!

He has supported Hal Cruttenden, Paul McCaffrey and Esther Manito on tour and continues to set himself apart as one of the best hosts on the circuit

”Very funny and warm” – Evening Standard

 

Doors 7pm – Comedy from 8pm

And if you fancy something else to nibble why not pre order our famous Cheese or Pate platter

(If you require any additional dietary needs please get in contact and we will try our best to facilitate)

All seating is unreserved 
The seating is arranged in various configurations of sofas/tables and theatre style seating, these are available on a first come first served basis. We recommend groups of 3 or more people arrive early to get seats together as we cannot guarantee seats together for groups or parties. You may have to seating and tables with other guests, but that’s how we role at the comedy social!

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).

Photography

We allow photography during performances  (except in specific circumstances if requested in advance by a comedian), but any video or sound recording via a mobile phone or other recording device  is strictly prohibited.

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!

Cancellations/Refunds

Unless the event is cancelled or rescheduled in advance, all tickets for The Comedy Social  are non refundable…sorry.

So are you up for a laugh? Then get booking below. Seats are limited (and that’s not a joke)..so don’t leave it too long!
