Recently, I had the opportunity to attend one of their shows and I felt a mix of nerves and excitement for my first comedy night. Yet, the night proved to be a hilarious and memorable experience, leaving my cheeks aching from smiling.

As I entered the venue, I was met with an intimate, dimly lit setting with vibrant, blue spotlights illuminating the stage and a crowd buzzing with anticipation. The lineup for the evening consisted of well-known acts such as Michael Odewale and Jen Brister. As well as rising stars.

One of the highlights of the evening was the headliner, Odewale. His personal anecdotes and dating experiences had the audience laughing uncontrollably. Another standout act was Brister, who had the audience in stitches as she shared her difficulties with ageing and interacted with the crowd. 

The enjoyment continued with the other acts, Erika Ehler and Freya Mallard, and the host, Ania Magliano. Ehler and Mallard delivered shocking but hilarious jokes. While Magliano engaged with the audience, creating a lighthearted and welcoming atmosphere.
