We are hosting a Comedy Club, on the 1st Friday of the month. The Comedy Club

We have a great line up for March:
Aisha Amanduri is a South London based comedian from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. A Funny Women One-To-Watch (2023), and Bath New Comedy Act runner-up (2024), she is described by Kemah Bob as "clever, edgy and unexpected" and in Rolling Stone "slick delivery with stereotype-crushing material that marks her out as a gifted and important voice.”
Mark Bittlestone was nominated in the Best Newcomer category for the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards, has written for Channel 4, done tour support for Eshaan Akbar and been shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Nothing short of brilliant” (One4Review)
Tom Elwes a stand up comedian, writer and presenter. Tom is one of the newest young comics to break through on the comedy circuit. As a lifelong Londoner, Tom uses a combination of storytelling and acute observations to make sense of his chaotic existence. His quick wit and high-energy charm makes him one to look out for in the future.
Nicole Harris was the first woman to win Jewish Comedian of the Year and went on to be a finalist in the New Act of The Year Showcase in 2019, performing at The Hackney Empire. Known for her quick wit, ability to think on her feet and quirky comedy style, Nicole is a one off original. She's a bit naughty, a bit risque, but not one bit forgettable!

ART: POP FORMATION - GRAHAM HOLLICK
In our gallery: Rug Hooking by textile artist Graham Hollick. Innovating and subverting the age-old technique of Rug Hooking, Graham Hollick's textiles are steeped in tradition but his imagery remains resolutely contemporary. Taking cues from sources such as street art, evocative masks, found graphics and landscapes, his work leads the viewer to reflect on the human condition. They are made entirely with materials derived from used clothing and textiles.
Pop Formation is a new series of works inspired by the Pop icons and lyrics from Graham's formative years. Free.
