New Act Night
Presented by Big Deal Comedy • Hosted by Aaron Jay
Discover the comedians you'll be talking about next
Fancy being able to say “I saw them before they were famous”?
Big Deal Comedy’s New Act Night is your chance to discover the next generation of comedians as they take to the stage for some of their very first gigs.
Expect big laughs, wild ideas, unexpected moments and plenty of surprises as a hand-picked line-up of brand new and early career comedians try out their material in front of a live audience.
Some will absolutely smash it. Some might spectacularly crash and burn. That’s the fun.
And with comedian Aaron Jay keeping things moving, you can expect a brilliant night of comedy in its rawest, most unpredictable form.
Fresh comedians. Fresh material. Fresh disasters.
Whether you're a comedy regular looking for something different, or just want a fun night out with a few drinks and a lot of laughs, New Act Night is the perfect place to discover your next favourite comedian.
Come along, grab a drink, settle in and get in early on the next big thing in comedy.
