After our Summer Break we return to our First Sunday of the Month Comedy Gigs on Sunday 6th September

Hollins Social Comedy Club at 2pm

ICONS - Prestwich Comedy at 8pm

We’ve had a reshuffle and we are no longer having a middle act, we are trying the Double Headiner route until the end of the year to see how it’s received

And, as it’s Prestwich Comedy’s 14th Anniversary Gig, we’ve lined up two fantastic acts

First up at both gigs will be the wonderful Dr Kevin Jones followed by UK Circuit Favourite Nina Gilligan

Hollins will be hosted by Smug Roberts & Prestwich hosted by Big Lou

Tickets for both shows available in the comments ❤️
