In the first week of February 2018 here at Theatre Deli, we will be holding our second Deli Comedy Club in The Old Library! The first Deli Comedy Club was a huge success and we are back for more.
Here are some short reviews of the first night by three audience members:
Very strong bill in quirky surroundings. Samantha Baines is a classy compere and all four comedians had strong and original material. American/Egyptian Maria Shehata and Australian Sarah Bennetto are world class while Jake Baker is an original with great promise. Good value drinks and great local beer from Orbit Brewery.
Well-attended evening with a varied and interesting international selection of comedians and compere, each drawing on their individual cultural backgrounds for material. Happy to see this ex-library being put to good use.
My boyfriend and I were thoroughly entertained last night. Had a real giggle, MC Sam was fab. Great night, looking forward to the next one.
The 3rd of February will host five comedians and we are looking to fill the two ten-minute middle slots. Fees for these slots will be 10% of the net box office takings plus a drink on us.
The Deli Comedy Club is a unique club with an incredibly warm and friendly atmosphere where the comedians enjoy their time as much as the audience. This sort of atmosphere fosters a sense of community and thus allows the audience to warm to each performer much quicker, meaning the laughs flow freely.
In order to be considered for the slot, you will need to send over some material (if you don't have any on your profile) and social media / website links. Start time is 8pm but you must arrive at the Old Library by 7:30pm when doors open.
Otherwise, get applying!
