Great news for comedy fans following on from our latest SOLD OUT 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.

 

TOM DEACON

Tom Deacon burst onto the stand up comedy scene after winning Chortle’s Student Comedian Award. His solid stage presence and slick timing led to him support Doc Brown and Katherine Ryan on tour. An accomplished radio presenter with his own radio shows on BBC Radio 1 and Capital FM, Tom’s TV appearances includeThe Rob Brydon Show (BBC Two), Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave) and Edinburgh and Beyond (Comedy Central). We are overjoyed to welcome Tom to Northwood, we cannot wait to see a full steam headline set at our next Comedy Social, a truly great comic to headline our next event!

“A mighty fine comic” The Guardian

Here are a couple short clips to wet the appetite

 

 

 JOE FOSTER

Joe Foster is a stand-up comedian from Brighton with a sharp, dry wit and likeable persona which has established him as a firm favourite with audiences around the country. We are super excited to bring Joe to Northwood House, his dry sense of humour is a stand out quality in many of his performances, so grab a gin or a wine sit back and enjoy a stellar showcase of wit and sarcasm. Here is a short clip of Joe at work!

“He tells them well, with an off-hand wit” Chortle

 

DUNCAN ADAM 

Duncan Adam has been making waves on the South Coast comedy circuit for the last few years now, and is making a name for himself with his sharp writing and engaging anecdotes. Duncan injects all his routines with a brilliantly dry wit that audiences love.

“Duncan grips the room with his anecdotal stories and killer delivery which will leave the audience howling and screaming for more” – PM PROMOTIONS

 

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. He has supported Esther Manito on tour and appeared at the Byline Festival and Victorious in his home town of Portsmouth and we’re delighted to have him. Paul has previously performed at the comedy social and this time we are buzzing to have him host!

”Very funny and warm” – Evening Standard

 

LIVE MUSIC – MUFTI DAY

We are delighted to welcome a new band on the function band scene to Northwood House! MUFTI DAY will be supplying hits from the noughties along with a few over classic hits thrown in for good measure! They will play before and after the comedy, so you can even have a bit of a dance at the end of the night! We look forward to seeing you at what promises to be a stellar evening of entertainment!

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

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!
