Stand Up Comedy

And so, as the Joe H Makin building gets ready to close its doors on over 30 years of glorious live theatre making, we invite you to our final, Stand-up Comedy Event to ever be staged within its walls!

For 25 years generations of LJMU Drama students have “screwed their courage to the sticking point” and got up at a live event with one intention: to make people laugh. It’s just them, a mic, and their wit. It’s one of the hardest things they’ll do, and it will be, as it’s always been, one of the greatest nights of the department.

From serious politics to family Christmases, from ice cream wars to misbehaving dogs. We’ve had comedy as a personal journey and as personal salvation. We’ve had gags and stories; costume and absurd characters; we’ve had grandmas remembered and cherished. Comedy is always at the edge of a changing world and there’s something here for everyone!

The world is big and there’s a lot that pokes fun at us... but there’s lots we can poke fun at too! This is the Last Hurrah…we look forward to one last wild and wacky night!
