Join us for a stellar line-up of live stand-up comedy in our open-air Courtyard.

See some of the best acts from around the country return to the stage for the first time in 4 months – trying out new material for your viewing pleasure.

Paul Chowdhry is a critically-acclaimed stand-up comedian, actor, and writer. He has appeared on Ents24’s list of the UK’s top 10 comedy acts. Paul’s 2017/18 national tour Live Innit was spectacularly received, selling out two Hammersmith Apollos, with extra dates added due to immense demand.

On TV, Paul hosted the final series of Channel 4’s Stand Up for the Week, and has performed two headline slots on Live at the Apollo (BBC 2), as well as making four consecutive appearances on Channel 4’s annual Comedy Gala. He brought his uniquely hilarious interpretation to tasks as a competitor on series three of Taskmaster (Dave), and has made regular appearances on 8 Out Of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Very British Problems (Channel 4), and ITV’s Celebrity Squares.

There are two types of tickets for the Courtyard.

Stalls (Seated) are wooden benches, on three sides. Gallery (Standing) is raised above the stalls and offers great views of the stage. There is a handrail to lean on.

Tickets are available in fixed groups; you can purchase a ticket to admit 1, 2, 3 or 4 people.

Please ensure that your group belongs to the same household or support bubble. Each group will be distanced from other groups by 1 metre, in line with government guidance.
