Further details
This show comes from The Albany, Deptford - a charity and social enterprise that has been supporting the people of Lewisham for over 125 years. The Albany has a long association with comedy. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer kicked off their careers in what was then the Albany Empire. Hosting the show is local award-winning stand-up and actress Thanyia Moore.
Joining Thanyia is actress and stand-up Kerry Godliman and rising star Babatunde Aléshé, winner of the Best Newcomer at the Black Entertainer Comedy awards. Keeping the house in order is head judge Fern Brady, who brings her honest and authentic approach to judging as only Fern can. The judges will have a tough job picking a winner from the five new comics who will take to the stage with material jam-packed with fresh topics and jokes a-plenty.
