Comedy & That
(On the Road)

‘Comedy & That’ is a Leeds-based, monthly comedy club hosted by Gareth Graham and Soham’s own Mick Tickner! We’ve persuaded them to put their show on the road and deliver an evening of laughs to the good people of Ely! Showcasing the best of Northern and local stand up.

Ely Outdoor Sports Association Clubhouse is behind Ely Leisure Village (perhaps known to the locals as the Rugby Club) - there's ample parking too. The doors to the venue room open at 7:30pm, with the show starting at 8pm, lasting around 2 hours with an interval in the middle. It should be finished by 10pm(ish) and the bar closes at 11pm, so feel free to hang out afterwards. Please note that access is restricted at this venue.

Your stand up acts for the evening are:
