The Acts

PAUL MCCAFREY 

We are super excited to welcome our headliner the hilarious and talented Paul McCafrey To The Comedy Social, having had previous sell out tours and collecting multiple comedy awards along the way, Paul truly is a master of his art with excellent performances on Star of Live at the Apollo (BBC2) Impractical Jokers (BBC3) Russell Howards Good News (BBC3) Stand up Central (Comedy Central). We are looking forward to welcoming him to the island to headline a stellar line up here at Northwood house.

Here is a classic clip of Paul in action to wet the appetite….

‘The relaxed, assured confidence of a stadium filler’ – Chortle

‘Charm, charisma and success written all over him’  – The Evening Standard

 

JACK SKIPPER

Starting the show will be Jack Skipper, If you like comedy and have a TikTok account then you would have heard of Jack, gracing the social media platform with must watch content. The small clips covering a broad range of topics and ultimately relatable comedy, will be brought to you in the form of a live set that you will be able to enjoy in our venue, rather than laughing uncontrollably at your phone. Jack’s performance is sure to be pure banter.

What the people have said….

‘’Simply the best new comedian we have ever seen!” – Epic Comedy

 

NATALIE BRYCE 

Following Jack will be the fabulous Natalie Bryce, a Scottish comedian who has been described as the answer to “satire and debauchery”. She was Scottish Comedian of the Year Finalist 2018, winner of the Hot Water Comedy Roast Battle 2019, Backyard Comedy Club Knockout Finalist April 2022 and South Coast Comedian of the Year Semi-Finalist 2022. She is the spectacle wearing friend of the group who gets herself in strange situations and we can’t wait to have her here! Join us for highly anticipated set from Scotland’s rising star.

What has been said about the Scottish star…

‘‘Natalie is a great story teller. Her unassuming manner lulled them in, before her fantastic punchlines bowled them over!!’’ – Funny Women

 

Your Host and MC: PAUL COX 

Paul Cox is our fantastic host and most definitely an unsung talent on the UK comedy circuit, performing at some of the best clubs alongside the stars, where he is very much at home.
