NextUp Comedy

Pinned posts

Muahaha, what's on this week?!🎃😈🎤 Glee Club Birmingham (Halloween Special!): Four superb stand-up comedians from rising stars to household names, beamed to your eyeballs and audio canals direct from the amazing Glee Club in Birmingham. It's the perfect way to end the working week. The lineup this week is: Thor Stenhaug, Tom Houghton, Dave Longley and Bethany Black.Bring some Halloween inspired snacks or drinks! P.S. I'm checking on last week's livestream catch-ups! Will post the link to them when they become available. Welcome to Ask a Comedian - our little corner of the NextUp community for getting closer to the people who do the mindblowing, and surprisingly full-on job of making people laugh. 🎭This channel is a place to drop questions for comedians about anything comedy. From writing and finding ideas, prep and pre-show routines, nerves and confidence, gigs that went great (and gigs that didn’t) to touring, crowd work, heckles, bombing, you name it! Ask what you’re curious about, whether you’re a comedy nerd, a casual watcher, or someone who performs. Keep it respectful (obvs!)How it works: We’ll post when we're meeting up with a comedian to film their special or chatting with them, you leave your questions in the comments and we’ll pick 3–5 to put to them, and share the answers back here. 🎤

Hey NextUppers! As we're celebrating our 10th birthday this month, I want to share some early pics of our awesome Founders (Sarah, Kenny and Dan) with you. We're so proud of how far this brand and community have come - and we're even more proud of them for brainstorming this baby all those years ago, making thousands of people laugh and supporting the best industry in the world. 🫶

What's on this week? 🎥

Hello hello and happy November all! Firstly, it's our birthday month - 10 years old, can you even believe it?!

It's also getting dark and cold out there, so I'm REALLY looking forward to this week's livestreams, haha! Here's what's on...

🎤 Comedy Knockout: Live from Backyard Comedy Club, Comedy Knockout is a comedy competition where 12 new acts go head to head with their best comedy material – and the audience votes who goes through each round until the end. Let the funniest win!

🎤 The Bill Murray: Live from Angel Comedy in London, this comedy night showcases the best talent in the UK and beyond. Lots of their regulars have gone on to appear on Live at the Apollo, on panel shows like Mock The Week or have their own specials on Netflix. It's a friendly place where you get to see tomorrow's stars just before they break big. (Will add the lineup once it's confirmed).

Catch ya in the livestream chat tomorrow for Comedy Knockout. 🤗
