What's On @ The Small Space

Stand-Up Comedy - New Material Night, Hosted By Leroy Brito
This is your chance to enjoy some top class comics try out some of their new stand-up material on a live audience before it ends up on their tour, on their upcoming TV appearance or in their regular club set. This relaxed and informal evening isn't an 'open mic' session because all the comics will be professionals currently working 'the circuit' but they need to know what's working and what's not. The ticket price is deliberately low as what these comics need is an audience and the chance to test their new material. So grab a ticket grab a drink at the bar and look forward to some guarantee laughs. N.B. - IF YOU ATTEND THESE EVENTS REGULARLY YOU WILL INVARIABLY SEE THE PROGRESS OF THE SAME MATERIAL BY ANY RETURNING COMICS (INC THE HOST) BUT EVEN IF YOU ATTEND MORE THAN ONE OF THESE EVENTS YOU WILL HEAR NEW MATERIAL TOO AS THE NAME SUGGESTS. Doors 7pm - Comedy 8pm - Over 18s only
