This month’s cracking club is headlined by the epic comedy awesomeness that is Jake Lambert and features the comedy skills of Sarah Isles, Tadiwa Mahlunge, Michelle Shaughnessy
As a leading comedy venue since the 1980s — which helped launch the careers of Eddie Izzard, The Mighty Boosh, Shappi Khorsandi, Micky Flanagan and many more — Jacksons Lane welcomes the return of a new regular comedy night, featuring both established acts and the stars of tomorrow.
Kicking away the winter blues we launch our brand new, semi-regular, packed full of fun stand up comedy club, featuring some of the best comedians on the UK stand-up circuit!
