Great atmosphere and an amazing venue. The first act of the night was 10/10, the other comedians were hit and miss so overall the comedy missed the mark unfortunately. Would absolutely go again, hoping for a different cast of acts!

The event held on 8th February 2024 was our first show at the venue and really was phenomenal! Sion the host was very personable with the crowd, remembered our names, and gave us the best welcome! Abandonman was the most uniquely incredible performer who made an entire song based on my partner and I! Absolutely blew us away. We've seen Russell Hicks before and he did not disappoint either - irreverant, unique material, and caused a standing ovation too! We'll be back soon, thank you Sambrooks comedy!
