It was HOT at The Huddle… and not just because the British weather briefly remembered how to do summer.
To our collective shock, the night kicked off with some bold front-row newbie attempting to kiss our wonderful MC Ashley Frieze. In all our Huddle history, that was a first. We always say “anything can happen at The Huddle”… apparently we need to start being more specific.

Ashley expertly dodged the chaos and steered us smoothly into birthday celebrations for Lisa and newly-21 Zandr, who somehow became the unofficial mascot/theme/target of the entire evening.

Our headliner Kevin Daniel Comedian locked onto our favourite cheeky grandad Ivan and asked:
“What is Zandr to you?”
“A problem,” Ivan replied instantly - earning the biggest laugh of the night.
Kevin kept the spotlight firmly on Gen Z, oversized emotional-support water bottles, and the slow destruction of civilisation. We laughed. We cried. Some people checked the size of their Stanley Cups.

Hannah Weetman started us off with hilarious dating stories and a suggestion to replace “Me Too” with “Why Not?”.

James Townsend made the round trip from South London and made us laugh about Gordon Ramsay’s kitchens and bonding over Nobbies Nuts. He said the Huddle was so good that if any comedian ever drops out he'd make the trip again in a heartbeat.

Lovely to see Brendon back as well, asking our headliner the important question about men’s size... of shoe inserts. A topic none of us expected, but somehow not the weirdest that came up at the Huddle.

Ashley sprinkled the night throughout with brilliantly unhinged jokes involving a womble and a toilet brush - as you do.

Huge thanks to our hardcore loyal Huddlers who turned up despite the heat, plus all the lovely newcomers who wandered in from the campsite looking for a pint and accidentally found therapy through comedy.

And of course, massive thanks to the wonderful Smokey Joe's Cafe Bar, Diner & Venue team for keeping everyone fed and watered.

Our next Huddle on 26th June is the LAST one before our summer break until the end of September, so come and join us before you disappear on your adventures.

🎟️ There’s still 20% off if you book before the end of today.

Thank you all for supporting live comedy, independent venues, and whatever it is we’re building together at The Huddle. We absolutely love it.

We'll have a laugh tonight! We all need it. Book tickets if you haven't already.

What a night at Comedy Huddle 🔥
We kicked things off in style by singing Happy Birthday to Rob, who makes a public appearance roughly once a year. A rare sighting, made even better by watching his face turn a deep, glorious shade of beetroot as 80 of us serenaded him. Magical.

From that wholesome start, our exceptional MC Greg Winfield wasted no time dragging things straight into the gutter, leaving the newbies questioning their life choices and what exactly they had signed up for. Welcome to Comedy Huddle 😄

Tim Biglowe had us all laughing, and some of us quietly jealous of his hair, yes Keith, we are looking at you. He also praised the efficiency of a wedding planned by Jarmain, who nailed romance by heading to the registry office with two random pissheads. Love truly finds a way.

Alexis Coward delivered brilliantly relatable chaos from her career and marriage and gave Pat’s hot beaver the unexpected spotlight it never knew it needed.

Matt Price lifted the roof off Smokey Joe’s with fantstic crowd work and hilarious stories. At one point he inspired what can only be described as a life coaching intervention, which somehow ended in Ivan chasing a newbie. Meanwhile the front row, fuelled by enthusiasm and several drinks, crumbled and made a tactical retreat to the loo.

Speaking of the front row, hats off to our brave newbies, including two questionable couples. Special mention to Polish Pav and his bold beaver style haircut, reviews at home are mixed, and to Liz’s Rub Club who stepped in with some very hands on emotional support. Pure kindness or clever marketing, we may never know.

Greg also coped admirably without his only friend Brendon and quickly found Rosey, who was spectacularly thrown under the bus by her own Josh. True love, Huddle style.

And the best part, this exact night will never happen again.
It was completely unique, co created by every single person in the room alongside the brilliant team at Smokey Joe's Cafe Bar, Diner & Venue

If you were there, you know. If you were not, fix that.

🚨 21% of tickets for the next Huddle are already gone. With two incredible headliners it will sell out, so grab yours early.

👉 Book this weekend and get 20% off your tickets.

And do not forget to show some love and give our amazing comedians a follow or watch Matt's special. They brought the magic, we just provided the questionable life choices.

See you at the next one 👀
