Sidekick Comedy Pride special at Polari at Via

Start the Pride celebrations early with a cracking line up at Sidekick on Canal Street. Moving forward a week so not to be caught up in the malaise that will descend upon the village, MC Kate McCabe offers up four stand-ups for your delectation. Championing progressive comedians, Sidekick Comedy welcomes Kerry Leigh, a new but disarmingly confident act destined for great heights, the ever-enthusiastic Harry Bentley, flesbian comic Sarah Profit, and exhilarating new voice in comedy Callum Scott. Be sure to get down and enjoy the village before they cordon it off with this great night of low priced, high quality comedic fair. Sidekick returns to its usual last Monday of the month slot in September.

Mon 19 Aug, Polari at Via, 30 Canal Street, M1 3EZ, 7pm, £3/£2, www.facebook.com
