The Comedians' Council hosted by Jackie Weaver
Description
comedy, cocktails and a one-of-a-kind council meeting
The Comedians’ Council will see comedians Isy Suttie, Ken Cheng, Paul Sinha, Rosie Holt, Glen Moore and Suzi Ruffell join Jackie to form the ultimate council meeting. Taking place in the iconic Club Room at The Bedford Pub, Balham, the comedian-councillors will tackle tough audience questions, such as – “is wearing socks and sandals a criminal offence?” or “can you really trust people who prefer baths to showers?”. These important questions will be posed by the live audience and, just like a real council meeting, the panel will engage in friendly debate before voting each issue.
COCKTAILS
Doors open nice and early to enjoy a pre-show meal and customised cocktails based on the characters from the infamous Handforth Parish Council Meeting. Highlights include... “Aled’s Mai Tai Pad”, "Chair-Manhatten" and a delicious Jacquiri.
