NextUp Comedy

Pinned posts

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. 🎤 Welcome to The Pub! 🗣️This is the bit of the community that’s less “what’s on this week” and more “what are we all chatting about”.Think of it like the pub after the gig (a big thank you to Indulis for the inspiration!) Just a place to hang out, talk nonsense, answer silly polls, share opinions and generally loiter...I’ll be dropping the odd BTS or mildly pointless thought in here 😉, and you’re very welcome to do the same. Join in loads, dip in occasionally or you know, just sit in the corner nursing a drink. All acceptable pub behaviour!Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.Cheers!

Hahaha! NextUp you guys are so unserious 🤣 This poll made me laugh. But in all seriousness, I'm now wondering if Mary Poppins is probably the better choice.

Saw one of you guys recommend a show last week so I thought I'd do the same! Love Josh Jone's Lad on Tour. He's just the best! Has anyone given it a watch and what did you think??

Hey NextUppers! We have a brilliant couple of livestreams heading your way this week. Get your snacks ready and set your reminders for Thursday night:

🎤 Thursday: The Comedy UK Roadshow - Live! Thanyia Moore, Jessica Fostekew, Alex Kealy, Ria Lina, and Roman Harris are celebrating the launch of the brand new 24/7 comedy radio station- and we're throwing a proper party to mark the occasion. Comedy UK is here, and to celebrate we've put together a cracking mixed bill night of stand-up that'll remind you exactly why live comedy is one of life's great pleasures. Want to attend in person at Leicester Square Theatre? There are still some tickets available. Grab them here! [Link]

🎤 Thursday: The Bill Murray (aka Angel Comedy) 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.

🎟️ Fancy a proper night out with Thanyia Moore, Jessica Fostekew, Alex Kealy, Ria Lina, and Roman Harris? If you’re in London and want to experience the magic in person, you can actually grab tickets to be in the live audience for The Comedy UK Roadshow at Leicester Square Theatre this Thursday!
