A night of free-thinking standup comedy with comedians who don't self-censor.
Andrew Lawrence
Andrew has been cancelled again, this time for a gallows humour joke about the man who drove a car into Liverpool fans. No-one should be cancelled for making jokes, so we have booked him.
Lawrence first tested the limits of the liberal comedy establishment 11 years ago with a Facebook post in which he excoriated “out of touch, smug, superannuated, overpaid TV comics with their cosy lives in their west-London ivory towers”.
Another blow to Lawrence’s conventional career prospects came in 2021 after he joked about England’s penalties defeat in the Euros final. “All I’m saying is, the white guys scored,” he posted — the context being a tournament in which players took the knee during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Andrew is a brilliant comic. Don't miss him.
Eddy Brimson
Eddy Brimson is top headline act on both the UK and International circuits. He has played festivals worldwide, from Edinburgh to Auckland, The Alps to Australia.
Eddy is also a bestselling author on football fan culture, with over 500,000 sales worldwide. He has also written two novels: Hooligan, and the critically acclaimed Naughty Boy.
Tania Edwards
Tania is an utterly middle-class sceptic of middle-class sensibilities, empty-headed fads and groupthink. She is a super popular comic at the London Comedy Unleashed club.
Nicholas de Santo
Conservative (with a proper big C) Iranian Italian stand-up comedian. One of the most popular acts on the Comedy Unleashed YouTube channel. Nicholas does new material about the issues of the day every time he performs.
Stephen Grant
A hugely popular MC at the London club. Stephen’s energy and intellect has won him multiple awards. He makes the place buzz and he has an opinion on everything and everyone.
Why Comedy Unleashed?
Andrew Doyle:
“Andy Shaw and I set up Comedy Unleashed because we feel that the time is right for a new alternative comedy movement. We book comics from all political backgrounds, or those who have no interest in politics at all. Our key criteria is that they are talented and funny. ”
