Reviews for previous Hastings Comedy Festival 2026 events

Alfred M reviewed Barry Ferns which happened on 8:45pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

Barry obviously an intelligent comic good at thinking on his feet. This event declared to be a 'workshop' but I didn't see to what end. Maybe trying out new material but lots of audience interaction which was very friendly but pushed things this way and that.

Alfred M reviewed Paul Merryck: Lies, Alibis & Filthy Stories which happened on 7:30pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

Paul seemed a bit rusty after the pandemic layoff but he was a very engaging personality, not fazed at all by the small turnout. Good idea having a guest comic for 10 mins mid-set. I enjoy seeing how different comics operate. Paul seemed to enjoy himself, so did we.

Matt R reviewed Jed Salisbury: Millennial Falcon which happened on 10:00pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

Really funny. Didn't refer to his weight as a central part of the show- he was funny in his own right.
