South London Theatre welcomes:
Good Ship Comedy
Founded in Kilburn, migrated to Camden Town and now south of the river in West Norwood, Good Ship Comedy is your friendly neighbourhood comedy club. For the past fifteen years we have featured some of the finest comics from the UK and international festival circuit including Josh Widdicombe, Sara Pascoe, Sindhu Vee, Nish Kumar, Rich Hall, Katherine Ryan and many, many more. All presented by resident compere, Ben Van der Velde.
The perfect comedy club host he is a master of audience interaction. The audience werent just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage. Huffington Post
ANGELA BARNES
Angela Barnes swapped a career in health and social care for stand-up in 2010 and hasnt looked back.
Within just a couple of years she had won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2011 and toured around the country with her stand-up shows.
Angela has starred in BBC Twos Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, House ofGames, and Hypothetical on Dave. She is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4, having featured on The Now Show and The News Quiz including a stint as the host.
Angela co-hosts the less-than-serious popular podcast We Are History with John OFarrell. The two history nerds discuss, explain, and laugh at interesting and quirky episodes from the olden days.
When not working she can usually be found poking around the nations nuclear bunkers, fulfilling her love of Cold War Brutalist architecture.
Most crucially, she is a patron of the SLT!

Good Ship Comedy brings the best acts from the UK. But they are also real people. As such, it is rare, but our line-ups are subject to change - family emergencies and last minute TV filming does happen.
Once purchased, tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded, unless a performance is cancelled.

All tickets will be offered subject to availability at the time of booking.
