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.
