Petworth Comedy Rooms - December

Join us for a night of fun and laughter at Petworth's biggest comedy night. 

Line-up includes:

Ricky Balshaw

A quick-witted, slow walking, fast rising star, Ricky Balshaw is without question, the funniest Paralympic Dressage medallist in the UK, perhaps the world.

Stepping over his cerebral palsy like it’s the mildest of inconveniences, Ricky pulls his audience into a joyfully dark world of self-depreciating hilarity. No sympathy vote is needed (or accepted) as Ricky dominates comedy stages up and down the UK.

A brilliant joke-smith and storyteller, this young man has comedy greatness in his bones.

Kate Martin

Kate is a seasoned performer and MC at top comedy clubs and corporate events across the UK, with recent gigs including tour support for Zoe Lyons and Esther Manito. Growing up as a young carer, she understands the power of humour in navigating life’s challenges.
