Jen Brister is a critically acclaimed stand up comedian and writer who is a regular performer on the UK and international comedy circuits and has written and performed on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Now Show and presented for BBC 6 Music to name a few and we are excited to welcome her to The Barn to headline this special show.

Opening the show is the hilarious Ant Dewson who passed his Grade 6 piano exam when he was 14 – and he hasn’t got any better since then! Classical music’s loss was comedy’s gain, and Ant now puts his limited skills to good use performing silly songs at comedy clubs up and down the country.
Also appearing on the night is the sensational Markus Birdman, as seen on Britain’s Got Talent (ITV) and many more. Markus is a highly experienced, versatile and award winning comedian and one of stand-up’s most well travelled, much in demand in the UK and all over the world, and one of the very first British Comics to have his own Netflix Special - Live in Amsterdam.
"Grab a ticket. He’s brilliant.” Sarah Millican
Be catapulted into the Christmas spirit with a night of laughter. This show is kindly sponsored by Meridian Air Conditioning and has something for every comedy lover! Hosted by Adrienne Coles from multi-award winning Coastal Comedy.
Over 18s only. Acts may change due to TV commitments.
