TweetStand-up comedian Sandro Ford is heading out on his first ever UK and Ireland tour, and it’s a big one. Titled Lager Than Life, this debut run brings Sandro’s unmistakable voice, sharp observations, and pub-bred storytelling to stages across the country.
Co-Host of the smash hit Problematic Pub Podcast and as seen on Have A Word, Dead Men Talking, and Hot Water Green Room, Sandro has quickly made a name for himself as a comic who tells it how it is. His comedy is rooted in real life — growing up, getting older, bad decisions, worse hangovers, and the sort of characters you only ever meet in or around a pub. Honest, self-aware, and unapologetically funny, his material feels lived-in and instantly relatable.
Lager Than Life is a celebration of nights that spiral, mates who never change, and the quiet chaos of everyday British life. Sandro’s relaxed delivery and natural crowd connection allow his punchlines to land effortlessly, turning familiar situations into moments of pure comedy. One minute he’s dissecting modern masculinity, the next he’s deep into a story that probably should’ve stayed off record — but you’re glad it didn’t.
This tour marks the next step for a comic firmly on the rise, bringing his most personal and hard-hitting material yet to live audiences. Whether you’ve followed his podcast appearances or are discovering him for the first time, expect big laughs, brutal honesty, and stories that hit close to home.
So get a drink in, find your seat, and brace yourself. With Sandro Ford, it’s always Down the Hatch. Lovelyyy

We'd seen John as a compere at Redchurch Brewery (brilliant venue, hosts and beer, also highly recommended) John was fabulous, as such we gathered a group of 14 friends together and went to see him again, this time in Norwich. We were not disappointed, he filled his one man show with sharp observations and had us in stitches, brilliant evening had by us all. I would also like to add that the bar and waiting staff at the Bowling House were excellent, friendly, efficient and tolerant of a table of 14 over 50"s! Many thanks Deb

Laughed loads, excellent value. The seating was rather crammed in, my 6ft 7 son struggled with the leg room, or rather lack of. Other than that all good and we will be back.
