Looking forward to a great night of comedy at The Back Room, Cottingham this Thursday, 12th December. Plus we've got Dough Punks serving their gourmet pizzas from 6:30pm, comedy starts at 8pm.
We're delighted to finally welcome as our headliner an act we've been looking to book for quite some to CCC, Alex Boardman. One of the most sought-after acts in the country due to his ability to interact with any audience and to seemingly conjure something out of nothing, Alex's free-flowing style and natural charm breeze through in performances. His unique brand of “Flattery and abuse” is done with a lack of malice and a big sense of fun.
“Very Funny, a rare mixture of wit and charm.” – THE GUARDIAN
For support we have some amazing local acts including the comedic talents of Lucy Buckley and Andy Lane and out opening act Pete Selwood has appeared on Comedy Central, BBC3, ITV2 and now CCC1.
Get your tickets here or message us to reserve for collection on the door Thursday night.

LIVE comedy this Thursday night in Cottingham.

Not long to go until our November show, this coming Thursday at The Back Room, Cottingham.
Not only do we again have pizzas from Dough Punks being served from 6:30pm, we have for the first time ever Phil Nichol as our headline act. We won't try to describe the experience, there's no point (although we will say that the pizzas are great):
“There is no point in trying to describe the experience, every Nichol gig is unique of course, it has to be lived, you just have to be there, to absorb the atmosphere he creates and of course laugh until the stomach muscles ache for they surely will.” One4Review ★★★★★
“Phil Nichol is a born entertainer…Phil is a multi-faceted performer meaning he can do everything from musical comedy to one-liners, storytelling, characterisation, black comedy, blue comedy — you name it.” The Scotsman ★★★★★
We've got support from the sublime Jordan Ducharme plus our usual two up and coming acts and Yorkshire's number one compere Jed Salisbury, taking a night off from his duties running the Hull Comedy Festival to host proceedings.
Get your tickets here or be forever consumed by regret, remorse and a nagging sense of shame:

A brilliant night of comedy this Thursday and unusually we still have a few tickets left. If you've ever wondered what Yorkshire's Best Independent Comedy Club is doing in Cottingham this is your chance. Definitely funnier than having one of those poles erected outside your house.

We're very excited for this Thursday's CCC, featuring one of the best comedians you've (probably) never heard of, Nick Doody. Here are some nice things that important people have said about Nick, whose comedy pedigree goes all the way back to supporting Bill Hicks on his early '90s tour (calm down Rich Austin).
“Very impressive, unfailingly good punchlines, intelligent and funny” – CHORTLE
“A refreshing change, sharp witted, but never sharp-tongued” - THREE WEEKS
Plus we have support from one of the most exciting up and coming comedians on the circuit Jacob Nussey, who is so brilliant his reviews are all in BLOCK CAPITALS:
"INSANELY FUNNY, HE'LL BE A HOUSEHOLD NAME BEFORE YOU KNOW IT" - SKIDDLE
"OFFBEAT STORIES WITH AN AIR OF RESIGNED INDIFFERENCE, WHICH IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE" - CHORTLE
And we've got the brilliant Hollie Noble and the amazing Kane Bruce delivering the funny to our middle section, all held together by Yorkshire's Best Compere 2023 and Scunthorpe Comedian of the Year 2016 Jed Salisbury.
If this is not your cup of tea there's something wrong with you and your horrible taste in tea.
Incredibly, some tickets are still available and you can get them here, or if you prefer message us and we can hold them for you to pay on the door:

"Harriet Dyer was one of the stand out superstars for me at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. She’s insightful, unique, peerless, extraordinary and… well, maybe a little unhinged." - 4 Extra Stands Up, BBC Radio 4 Extra
With Jed Salisbury back at the helm plus three brilliant supporting acts, you really can't go wrong here.
Doors open 7:30pm, show starts at 8:15pm. Tickets £10 in advance or £12 on the door (£8 with NUS / NHS or What’s On Hub card).
