The Last Laugh: The best comedy events on Skiddle

Throughout the month, and into the warmer months of 2024, we've got a huge variety of comedy shows for you to test your funny bone at. From huge comedy festivals with a castle as a backdrop; to nights from the biggest names in comedy like Sara Pascoe and Maisie Adam; to several multi-comedian variety nights where you truly get bang for your buck, and a proper good giggle to go alongside. Whatever you're after, we've got all the gigs to satiate your comedy needs in the coming months.

Good Ship Comedy feat. Sara Pascoe

When: Friday 7th June 2024

Where: The Birds in London

Good Ship Comedy is sailing out east for the first time ever, and bringing one of the funniest headliners in the Biz, Sara Pascoe, to Leystone!

Sara Pascoe is one of the biggest stars in British stand-up right now. A regular on Live At The Apollo, QI, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and Mock The Week among others, her calling card is her perfectly wrought mixture of a rigorously academic mind unafraid to cover any topic and a sense of humour that is childishly naive and razor sharp.  A best-selling author thanks to her book 'Animal', Sara's appeal is vastly wide-ranging and growing every day.  If you want to have your mind expanded whilst laughing like a merry idiot, Sara is the comic for you. Grab tickets below!
