With resident MCs Danny McLoughlin and Phil Chapman.

Here’s the deal:

Unlimited sign-ups from 4PM until 8:30PM (first on the list, first on the stage!)
After that, our three audience judges can hit the buzzer at any time
If all three buzzers go — you’re off

Survive the full 3 minutes and you’ve beaten the buzzer, earning yourself a place in the final clap off to decide the winner!

Every performer gets a free drinks voucher after their set.

At the end, all survivors return for a rapid-fire final, with an audience clap-off deciding the ultimate winner.

Expect chaos, bravery, and the kind of comedy you’ll never see anywhere else. Whether you’re performing or just watching the carnage, this is one of the funniest and most unpredictable nights on the calendar.

Will you beat the buzzer, or get cut short?
There’s only one way to find out…
