Journey Central Comedy A Little Love and Romance-Cancer Research Fundraiser

Journey Central Comedy Open Mic Night: A Little Love and Romance - Cancer Research UK Fundraiser

A ★★★★ Fringe show… cheaper than therapy and twice as fun.

Journey Central Comedy Open Mic night IS BACK!
Join us February 23rd at Ye Olde Cock Tavern for a special Cancer Research Fundraiser
This February I’m also taking on TWO charity challenges…
100 squats EVERY day
20-minute dance challenge EVERY day
Come along and see if I’m still standing by the end of it… honestly, I’m already suffering and it’s only Day 5!
I’m doing this for my Mum, for so many others affected by cancer, and if I’m honest… for myself too. It’s my push to live healthier, get moving, and hopefully raise some money to help Cancer Research in the process

It will be the usual Energy Check: This isn't your average open mic night, it's a 4* Edinburgh Fringe show! We've got a mix of new and seasoned talent, and tbh, the newbies are just as funny. Come for the jokes, stay for Labrish with Lainey's hilarious postshow chats with the Acts.

Past comics include legends like Jack Whitehall, James Acaster, Andi Osho and Sara Pascoe. You could be seeing the next big thing!

Lineup:

Arie David

Auz Thompson

Derya Yildrim

Georgia Thorps

Kal Bashir

Lizzie Corfield

Refreshments - food and drinks available in Ground floor bar

Tix: All proceeds from ticket sales to Cancer Research UK

Warning: Laughter can seriously change your mood!

Audience Reviews:

• "Even with a smaller crowd, a lovely atmosphere was created."
• "A great evening was had... and the show was thoroughly enjoyed!"
• "...truly vibrant vibe."
• "Laughter from beginning to end!"
• "JCC is unique...nobody else is doing this on an open mic night."

Disclaimer: Edinburgh Fringe gave our show 4, so in theory the MC Lainey earned 1*. You've been warned so brace yourself!
