WINNER (Chortle awards): Best Comedy Format 2026 for South West & Wales!

WHY THE PEOPLE’S COMEDY? The People’s Comedy formed in 2018 with the aim of platforming comedians with a message (think counter-culture, underrepresented, original) and ensuring that they’re paid for their craft. On top of that, no headliners showcasing each act’s unique comedic voice. Also, this night supports the collectively owned PRSC building to grow and thrive. More about them here: https://prsc.org.uk/

Check Headfirst for an up to date lineup of comedians » ✔ Raised tens of thousands of pounds for comedians paid in-line with our equal pay structure. Please note: the more we make through tickets, the more we can pay acts! But please only give as much as you can comfortably.

There is a bar which opens the same time as doors, from 7pm. The show starts at 7:30pm, so please arrive comfortably before then.
