The Comedy Social (£17.50)
7th February £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.
OUR AMAZING HEADLINER!
He’s in BBC sitcom Ladhood,
featured on The Stand Up Sketch Show,
and did stand up on The Russell Howard Hour.
You can watch the clip here.
He has written for The Sunday Times, The BBC, and is a regular columnist for The Metro (said columns can be read here.)
Jacob (it’s hard to know which bits to embolden) has two hit podcasts, Jacob Hawley: On Drugs, and Jacob Hawley: On Love, both on BBC Sounds. The series have had over half a million downloads and earned Jacob a SILVER ARIA AWARD FOR BEST NEW PRESENTER and can be listened to here.
He has created two Radio Four stand-up specials, Welcome To Britain, and Class Act, which broadcast to rave reviews and features in The Guardian and The Independent. One of them can be listened to here.
THENJIWE
One of the most well-known and highly recognised stand-up comedians in South Africa today is Thenjiwe. She has three YouTube channels with over 180000 subs and over 40 million views and during her one-hour show at the Leicester Square Theatre in London, she received a standing ovation! We can not wait to welcome her here at The Comedy Social!
DON BISWAS
Don Biswas has been performing stand-up comedy since mid 2007. His unique set combines both razor sharp one-liners, with humour about having Dyspraxia (organization and coordination difficulties) and mild traits of Asperger’s Syndrome and the effect it has had on him, while coming from a middle class Indian family. Also thrown into the mix are quirky observational, political and topical humor.
Your Host and MC: 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).

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!
