Thatcham Comedy Club is our town's very own comedy night, featuring professional acts from the Comedy Circuit in London and the South. Every two months or so, we host a line up of established and newer comedy talent, including acts that have graced the stage of bigger venues like the world famous Comedy Store and have TV and radio credits to their names.
Charmian studied clowning and circus through workshops with Philippe Gauliere and Theatre de Complicite, but found things were a lot more fun if she stopped trying to juggle and just told jokes. She has performed professional sets at a host of UK comedy clubs including The Comedy Store, Bearcat, Banana, Glee, Agraman gigs, Up The Creek, Tunnel Club, Stand Up Club and many many more. She's a regular pre-covid MC for Downstairs at The Kings Head and has annually compered the Comedy Cabaret Marquee at the Glastonbury Festival as well as the all nighter Mavericks Marquee. As one of the comedy tutors at the legendary Jackson's Lane Comedy Workshops (where Micky Flanagan first tried his stuff), she featured in his recent SKY documentary Peeping Behind The Curtain.
Sam Michael is a localish comedian who has enjoyed great success on the South West comedy circuit. His instincts on stage are joyful, combining the cheeky laddish humour of a 20 something with the more reflective honesty that comes from being a new parent. He is supporting Al Murray at The Corn Exchange in June. One imagines Sam's flourishment being akin to Ricky Gervais' in particular, but with an added dash of authentic geeze and modernity." - People's Comedy Club, Bristol
Andrew was chosen by Michael McIntyre to be his support act for his 2018 Arena tour. He charms his audience with hilarious anecdotes from his childhood, and the frustrations and joys of being a parent.
