Now in its sixth year, one local pub is building on a successful formula which sees its comedy festival sell out.
From next Tuesday, comedy returns to The Unthank Arms. Two comedians per night, hosted by a compere, it’s a chance to see comedians who’re likely to make it big soon, right here in south Norwich. The likes of Sarah Milligan performed at The Unthank just a few years ago. She’s now appearing on chat shows and on the comedy circuit across the country.
Here’s a the line-up to choose from, compered each night by MC Mowten. The Norwich Ukelele Society will also play at this year’s Comedy Festival.
Tuesday 12th July
Nick Revell: “A master craftsman” – Time Out.
Rob Deering:“As sharp and versatile as a Swiss Army knife, Rob Deering is one of the best performers currently on the circuit” – The Independent.
Wednesday 13th July
Yianni Agisilaou: “Sparklingly intelligent and very funny” – Chortle.
Gary Delany: “Razor sharp one-liners” – Daily Telegraph
Thursday 14th July

Abandonman: “The most original act we’ve seen in a long time. Go and see them.”– Maxim.co.uk.
A barbecue is available from 5.30pm with the show starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from the UEA Box Office.
