Barking Tales

Hello. Welcome once again to this award winning monthly safe space new material mental health comedy night (the only one in quite possibly the whole world I do believe.)

Who the dickens is on I hear you cry?

Michael J Dolan - Trying out stuff for his new show, "Fucked Thumbs"

As my hands cramp and petrify around my GameBoy and my wrists turn to sand I am forced to wonder if I really have wasted my life playing computer games and if my time would have been better spent going outdoors or having kids or something. Stand up about videogames for the most part, if that even turns out to be possible.

The word 'bleak' doesn't begin to cover it **** The List

Brilliantly sustained, brutally punchy **** The Scotsman

Skilful humour from the very dark side **** The Sunday Times

A powerhouse of hilarious cynicism **** The Skinny

Lydia Bernsmeier-Rullow - Best known for her drag persona Dick Slick, Lydia is an emerging and quite wonderful comedy talent. Funny Women Regional Finalist 2018.

Tom Lawrinson - As heard on the BBC Radio New Comedy Award. Tom Lawrinson is one of the most exciting new acts on the circuit, an insightful and funny gentleman, cleverly turning stock gags on their head to reflect a 'woke' view of a world that has slept in for too long.

"His jokes about sexism are worth a trip to see him alone" Chortle

"If you only see one comedian this month, make it Tom Lawrinson" The Skinny

All MC'd by that person that always does that at this, Harriet Dyer

Harriet Dyer was one of the stand out superstars for me of this years Edinburgh Fringe. She's insightful, unique, peerless, extraordinary and well, maybe a little unhinged. 4 Extra Stands Up, BBC Radio 4 Extra

Doors open at 7:00pm, show starts at 8:00pm. Usually all done by 10:15 at latest. Free entry (donations after if you can afford it.)
