Manchester Comedy of the Week ft. Lou Sanders & The Delightful Sausage

Shhark Comedy | Hold Fast | Mon 4 Dec | 8pm | £2
Canadian comic Evan Desmarais hosts a new night of new comedy. Splitting the night between new voices and new material Evan invites 5 pro comics to perform 10 minutes of whatever it is they might be working on followed by an ‘open mic’ of sorts when those looking to get extra stage time can sign up and hone their tight five. A bold move to be going up against the Frog & Bucket’s flagship new act night ‘Beat The Frog’ but the cosy room at the back of NQ basement bar Hold Fast + the promise of more established comics should set them apart. The more the merrier.

High on self confidence and no shortage of top banter Lou Sanders is always a treat, tonight she’ll be supported by Bisha K Ali (fresh off the back of exposing a bizarre identity theft from a Canadian public arts commission (seriously mate, look it up), Amy Annette and Claire Keegan. Ably held together by the madcap meanderings of XS host Toby Hadoke go check out why they are continually thought of as the best comedy club in the North.

The people behind the great comedy snafu are hosting a night of Christmas laughs with some help from the premier meat based Yorkshire comedy duo in The Delightful Sausage.

Go see them whilst they’re still playing lovely little gigs like this.
