Journey Central Comedy Open Mic Night: Its Ladies Night

Journey Central Comedy Open Mic Night: It's Ladies Night

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

JOURNEY CENTRAL IS BACK – AND IT’S A LADIES’ NIGHT TAKEOVER! Join us 30 March at Ye Olde Cock Tavern for our Ladies Night as its International Women's Month

First things first: A massive thank you to everyone who supported my Challenges for Cancer Research UK! Whether you donated or cheered me on at the fundraiser, it means the world. The squats have left me aching, but the results are worth it! The donation pages are open for one more month, so I’ll be sharing the final grand total very soon.

But now... it’s time to swap the gym leggings for the stage lights.

To celebrate the incredible women in comedy, we are bringing you a special Ladies’ Night edition of Journey Central. The show is firing on all cylinders, and we have a lineup of female acts that guarantees you’ll be belly-laughing all the way down Fleet Street.

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. Come for the laughs, meet new people, stay for Labrish with Lainey.

The Details:

• WHEN: 30 March 2026
• TIME: 6.45 pm (for a 7.00 pm start)
• WHERE: Ye Olde Cock Tavern, 22 Fleet Street EC4Y 1AA
• HOSTED BY: Your favorite 1" Star MC" (her words, not ours!), Lainey

We are proud to showcase some of the freshest and funniest voices on the circuit right now:

• Arie David
• Jodie Wheeler

• (And maybe a few surprise additions!)

Stick around for the legendary "Labrish with Lainey" hilarious postshow chats with the Acts.

It’s the madness.

THE MISSION: Come down, support live comedy, grab a drink to decompress after work and laugh until your ribs hurt.

Warning: Laughter can seriously change your mood!
