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!

Hey guys! So, it’s the 1st of December, which means two things:

1. We’re legally allowed to mention Christmas now, and

2. We want your very worst Christmas Cracker jokes. So bad that your Dad would laugh at them.

Comment yours below - we’ll be featuring them on our social media next week (with full credit for your crimes obviously)... 🎄✨

What's On This Week? 🔴

It’s a packed livestream week for all of us - but we wouldn't have it any other way...

🐸 Beat the Frog: New Comedians try to 'beat the frog' in this anarchic, iconic show. This is the most unpredictable comedy night in the north.

🥊 Comedy Knockout: Comedy Knockout is a comedy competition where new acts battle it out for a chance at winning a coveted weekend spot at the Backyard Comedy Club, where they’ll get to perform alongside some the countries top comedians.

🎭 The Bill Murray: 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.

Catch you on the flip side (don't forget the snacks!)

P.S. Lineup to be announced soon…
