About us
The People's Comedy launched in 2018 with two aims: platforming socio-political stand-up comedy and ensuring that acts are paid for their craft.
Hosting numerous comedy nights every month (see above for tickets).
Nominated for the Chortle best themed comedy night in 2020.
What is socio-political stand-up comedy?
Stand-up that has some kind meaning behind it. Stand-up that is didactic, original, non-formulaic, evocative, unpredictable and in some circumstances non-commercial. Ultimately, "socio-political" simply denotes something that is social or political, involving at-least one of the above.
Why pay acts?
Stand-up comedy is one of the hardest art forms out there. It takes years to refine and find one's voice, and The People's Comedy stands for paying any acts platformed who grace audiences with that voice.
