Reviews for previous The Stand and Deliver Comedy Club events
So my group of four all enjoyed the comedy evening. Great stand-up… I’d pay to see all of the comedians again! Every act had some great punchlines that had us in stitches. Funniest moment, though, was when my wife responded to Carl Donnelly’s lockdown story (well, interrupted really) which took the conversation in a different direction and totally threw him off his tale. By the time we got back to the intended narrative his train of thought had been thoroughly disrupted. It didn’t spoil it but I’d love to know the actual ending.

Left at interval due to the very bright LED lights at both ends of row 2 causing a very bad headache. We were the 2nd set of people into the room, but were made to sit in the second row after declining the front row - which I would never choose to do because I like to sit at the back, in the dark, for exactly this reason. Please give people the option of selecting their seats in advance, or at least let the people who are first through the door choose where to sit themselves rather than insisting they sit at the front.

Felt the sketches were often bit politically ambiguous ... ie, vaguely right wing at times
