Great news for comedy fans! The Northwood House Comedy Social is back for 2023…a chance to get together with some friends, forget about all the woes in the world and have a right old laugh!

On Saturday 29th April we’ll be bringing you the Spring Edition with three new up and coming comics from the UK comedy circuit performing live in the Northwood House Ballroom.

They’ll get the chance to tickle our ribs with their topical and inappropriate jokes and get our belly laughs going. We have an amazing trio of  comedians for you this time…and they won’t be holding back!!

Don’t expect household names though (you’d be having a laugh at this ticket price!) but this lot come very highly recommended to us by a top comedy agency…so let’s meet them!:

PAT CAHILL

From winning Chortle Best Newcomer and Hackney Empire New Act Awards in 2012, Pat has gone on to become a perennially daft presence on the alternative comedy scene in the UK and internationally.

His own style of “controlled silliness” (Fest mag) has led him to appearances on Dave’s One Night Stand, Sky Arts, BBC3, BBC Radio 1, 4 (The Now Show) and 4 Extra. Pat has written and performed 4 critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe Festival solo shows, and appeared internationally in Belgium, Switzerland, France, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, and Peterborough.

Nominee Best Show, Dave’s Leicester Comedy Festival 2016

“Cahill strikes an unlikely balance between stretched absurdity and sophisticated introspection… This is one of the strangest and most satisfying hours of the Festival.”  ***** Edfestmag

“Wonderfully weird” The Guardian

“True star quality” Evening Standard

ARIELLE SOUMA

A French-Ivorian with an authentic voice in comedy and is  a force to reckon with. Strong stage presence, punchy delivery; Arielle Souma is hilarious & blunt AS F*** ! You have been warned

2021 Leicester comedy award nominee

2019 BBC comedy Awards nominee

2019 NOT SO NEW COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR finalist

2017 NATYS finalist

2016 frog & Bucket Manchester ” World Series finalist ”

2016 “So You Think You’re Funny ” finalist

“Arielle Souma is just what the comedy industry needs and should be forced upon every audience until they buckle under her spell”

_Frankie Boyle

“Her delivery is really strong  and lively, she’s brilliant, fun and totally commands the stage. She killed it and totally raised the roof. Clearly very accomplished, she just has it.”

_ The Stand Comedy Club

DAVINA BENTLEY

Comedian Davina Bentley is a Jewish London raised comic, inspired by high status US comics

such as Michelle Wolf and Ali Wong, who tackle subjects previously deemed off limits. Since

starting writing and performing stand-up comedy six years ago, Davina has reached the finals

of numerous competitions and performs regularly in comedy clubs including Top Secret,

Vauxhall and Fulham.

As a lawyer who does not suffer fools gladly, Davina examines the absurdity of modern life

and pop culture – her cynical outlook is perfectly contrasted with her energetic and smile-filled

performances.

Like the sound of that? If  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 to open and close the Comedy Social with popular local lads Jimmy’s Little Fish.

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.

Evening Schedule:

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

7 pm: Favourite local duo Jimmy’s Little Fish play the Ballroom and get you ready for the main event!

7.30pm: All guests seated: Our first comedian will be our MC to welcome you and warm you up for the second act on stage.

7.40pm: Our second comedian takes the stage, (maybe nervously, depending on how the MC has gone down!)

8.10: Interval-Live music from Jimmy’s Little Fish  and a bar break.

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

8.45: Our third comedian takes you through until around 9.15pm, hoping that half the audience hasn’t left by then of course!

9.15pm-10.30pm: Live music from Jimmy’s Little Fish & general socialising in the House Bar and Ballroom.

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