Hello everyone, hope you've managed ok in the heat. It's been rough but it's nice to see the sun.

My name's Jake and I run The Comedy Bar at the Hat Factory Arts Centre.

I just wanted to tell you a bit about it, maybe some of you might fancy a night out soon and whether you've been to comedy shows before or this would be your first time, we'd be very happy to welcome you.

Hosted in the basement bar, we bring you a warm and friendly evening of laughter from some of the best up-and-coming UK Comedians for you to enjoy.

We've hosted some fantastic names over the years including acts from huge tv shows like Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week (the old one and the new one), Q.I, The Last Leg and many more.

Tickets are just £8 which I think is pretty cheap for your night out.
It's a 2 and half hour show with 2 intervals, We have 5 acts in total plus an MC to host the evening

I'll put a link to the tickets in the comment section to the next show.

They're available via the The Culture Trust Luton website. They're the lovely people who make it all possible.

Hopefully see you soon.
