“We didn’t really have any great expectations as it was our first time. We were not disappointed, it was brilliant. Small intimate venue, very immersive, diverse range of comedians (in every sense of the word). We did not stop laughing 😜 slow to kick off - 45 min wait to start, but you don’t want to get there too late and have to sit at the front! There were 7 acts, which seemed like a lot, but the time flew by! Will definitely go again 10/10 x”

Stops at key venues and photo-ops, including Jim snapping pix of each of us in the infamous Abbey Road crosswalk topped the experience. You will not be disappointed!”
