Dave Watt (aka Captain Breadbeard) hosts his monthly alternative stand-up comedy night in the heart of Canterbury.
November's special guests include:
Sam Rhodes
“One of the most innovative musical comedians out there” British Comedy Guide
As seen on BBC & Amazon Prime
Alex Prescot
He was the Clap Back To Reality Winner in 2024, a Musical Comedy Awards Finalist in 2025, a previous Chichester New Act & Kingston New Act Finalist and was shortlisted for Chortle Hotshots 2025. He took his 45-minute show Alex Prescot: I've Got A Song About That to Edinburgh Fringe 2024, which sold out the run and received glowing reviews (★★★★★ BroadwayWorld, ★★★★★ LondonTheatre1).
Kitty Cassis
“..bloody annoying..” Steve from the Masonic
“..very thorough..” Diedre on the bins
“.. a vision in leopard print.. glimpses of early Caroline Aherne..” Chortle
Nicky Vere-Compton
In their own words, Nicky Vere-Compton is 'a short fat autistic queer who sings Baritone while making you laugh'. Their dark, anarchic and subversive sense of humor and character comedy has seen them nominated for Neurodiverse Reviews' Actually Autistic Award in 2024 for their show Freaks and Fools and gain rave reviews from publications and audiences alike. They have appeared on the same bill as big names such as Steven K Amos, played at every kind of venue including the Troy Club and the Backyard Comedy Club in London, and headlined gigs such as GnB comedy, sunset comedy, dead leg comedy and virtue comedy. They even proudly led the UK Pie Party, taking pies to the face to raise funds for cancer charities. Through all of Nicky's characters and jokes they aim to push the boundaries of how you see autism in this world (but not in an edgelord kind of way).
Maria Fedulova
2023 Finalist: Leicester Square New Comedian Of The Year & New Forest New Comedian of the Year
2024 BBC New Comedy Awards
Daniel Tizon
‘Darkly comic’ – Vogue Italia
Not So New Comedian of the Year 2024 Finalist
Hastings Newcomer of the Year 2025 Finalist
