Reviews for previous Sion James events

Mark B reviewed Clapham Comedy Club New Years Eve Comedy Party Tuesday 31st December 2024 : Six Top Comedians plus Compere PLUS Welcome drink, pre show nibbles, sweets & chocs & party items, Aftershow Party Choons 'til late which happened on 7:00pm on Tue 31st Dec 2024.

It was a really beautiful way to start the New Year. Sion and Lizzy worked tirelessly to be hospitable hosts the whole night. It was also a very intimate atmosphere which made it easier for a loner like me to strike a conversation and feel included in the festivities. However, please ditch the scotch eggs. They tasted like they were out there since the previous year!

Such fun! Very lively for a Sunday night.. some tables were a bit annoying and felt bad for the acts but they handled it well and it was hilarious. Love the cosy venue at The Railway.. we will be coming back!
