Cackling Bat Comedy Night - Rob Rouse

You’re in for a great night! Rob Rouse offers relentlessly funny and daft evening of comedy; a one-man whirlwind who pulls the audience into his craftily spun tall tales with bucketfuls of manic energy. Two further incredibly fabulous acts and our own Samantha Day as MC complete the line up!

Doors open at 7pm.  Seats can only be reserved on arrival using tried and tested methods such as leaving your coat on the chair or writing your own name on a piece of paper (so you’ll need a pen).

Acts start at 8pm.
