Russell Hicks (Work in Progress)
Russell Hicks, who you've seen on BBC, Channel 4, Amazon Prime, or from his viral Dear Diary videos on social media, and will see in Edgar Wright's Running Man later this year, is building a new show. One of the most exciting comics to come out of America , now based in the UK , branded one of the 'Top Six Comics to Watch' by LA's Stand Up Talk Magazine. Russell Hicks returns brings his own unique brand of improvised standup comedy Californian style to New Cross! Come join the cult of Russell Hicks followers ( Over 270k & 5.9m likes on TikTok!). Anyone who has seen Russell Hicks knows that it is never the same show twice.
Taking a different approach than most comedians, Russell Hicks weaves improvisation with stream of conscious delivery that has moved many audience members to return for two nights in a row. Nothing in this biography can do his act justice other than to say, you just have to see him live'."Indisputably talented, there’s no comic quite like Russell Hicks. 'Russell Hicks is amazing" (Comedy Palace)
Fitzgerald Honger
*British Comedian of the Year Semi-Finalist 2024* Regular on the London comedy circuit, Fitzgerald Honger is a dynamic comedian who has performed in top comedy clubs across London and the UK including The Bill Murray and the Stand Newcastle.
Alex Prescot
Alex is a musical comic who often improvises off crowd work. Clap Back To Reality Winner 2024, Musical Comedy Awards Finalist 2025, ‘Impressive improvisational talents’ The Standard.
Alexis Coward
Alexis is the definition of awkwardly charming. Her comedic style is delightfully unpredictable: think “British observational storytelling” meets “midlife crisis". “Stage presence: Cowards ability to connect with such casual grace makes you feel like you know her. Punch lines: effortlessly funny.” – Hop Comedy
Plus Special Guest TBC
Who could it be? it could be a big comedy star trying out some new bits for telly thing or rising star trying out some new gold?
- Either way it could be your new fave comedian?

Another top night of fun with some new faces and top comedy.

Another great evening . The host always welcomes new people and helps create a real friendly atmosphere. The sound check makes sure the comedians can be heard. That’s why we keep coming back for more. Happy Mondays tomorrow night. No not Shaun and the boys.

The venue was rated as 5 star as it was my own house. The comedians were mostly enjoyable. The atmosphere created by the host was less than satisfactory. I felt that he was sharp and over emphasised the ‘rules’ of the event. Pestering people to put in their web cameras is inappropriate - there are all sort of genuine reasons as to why people choose not to activate their web cameras. If you are going to forcibly insist that people switch on their web camera then consider making it part of the Terms and Conditions so that people can choose to attend or not. At one point I was ‘muted’ and chastised in a public forum for apparently blurting something out which was not the case as I was sitting on my own quietly, not clapping or making any sort of noise that would be detected by the microphone. This spoiled part of the experience for me and would make me consider attending again.

Yesterday's Comedy Mother's Day Night was absolutely incredible! Sion was such an incredible MC with fantastic acts all throughout the show! Absolutely recommended for sure!
