Laugh Train Home Comedy - Wednesday October 4th - 8.30pm Phil Kay, Jasper Cromwell-Jones, Jenny Collier and MC Robyn Perkins

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

Its been 3 years since we have been at The Four Thieves, and we think that’s worth a celebration! We have presents, cake, and most of all, a SPECTACULAR line-up! 

Headlining we have the phenomenal comedy legend that is PHIL KAY! A recent review of this year’s show sums him up perfectly:  'A comedian like no other. There's so much humour in the hour it’s hard to breathe. This original comedy genius is like a Choose Your Adventure. The free-forming journey that is utterly unforgettable!' (Australian Times, 2017).

Opening we have JASPER CROMWELL-JONES, a ‘famous explorer’. Trust me, Battersea...this is way better than you can imagine. In the middle we have rising start JENNY COLLIER. Also doing some newer material is our very own resident MC JASON PATTERSON. MCed by regular host ROBYN PERKINS!

Laugh Train Home Comedy: Tuesday October 3rd. 8:00-10:00PM

Patrick Monahan, Russell Hicks, Aidan Jones, Ed Patrick and MC Robyn Perkins

IT’S THE WEEK FOR OFF-THE-CUFF COMEDY

What does that mean? In short, ANYTHING can happen. Every week we are continuing to bring you the best of the UK comedy circuit. This week we have two of the most UNIQUE comics: Patrick Monahan (ITV’s Show Me the Funny (winner), SPLASH! and more) and Russell Hicks. Some comics are very scripted; every breath, every line, every aspect of their set is calculated. These two couldn’t be more opposite. Patrick is full of fun, playfulness, and hilarious opportunity. Watching his comedy is an experience. Russell Hicks is raw, real and a loose cannon...a geniously hilarious cannon. In the middle we have Ed Patrick and Aidan Jones: two of the most promising newer acts on the circuit. The night will be hosted by local resident and regular MC ROBYN PERKINS.

NOTE: Each of the following weeks have their own unique character. Oct 3 is quite ‘off the cuff’ and improvised standup. Oct 10 is very ‘Radio4′ (with a not-so-Radio4 opener), Oct 17 is for true comedy lovers…a classically solid line-up, Oct 24 is full of whimsical comedy, and Oct 31 is a classic mixed style line-up of the best stand-ups around.

Laugh Train Home Comedy - Wednesday September 27th - 8.30pm Christian Reilly, Ben Fogg, another act and MC Robyn Perkins

Another AMAZING line-up ahead!

Comedy store headliner CHRISTIAN REILLY is back at The Four Thieves this Wednesday. He is a comedy all-star with appearances on Late Night with Conan O' Brian, the Graham Norton Show, Jammin’ (BBC Radio 2), That Was Then, This is Now (BBC Radio 2) and more. But we get him down as he is the best musical comedian in the UK. He is incredible.

Opening the show we have BEN FOGG! Ben is a phenomenal, slightly quirky act I found at the Fringe. I say ‘found’, but the rest of the world knows about him already. He, alone, is worth coming down for.

And in the middle...well, we are sorting it out. The past few surprises have been phenomenal, so watch this space.

MCed by resident host ROBYN PERKINS.

Laugh Train Home Comedy - Wednesday September 20th - 8.30pm STEPHEN K AMOS, Simon Feilder, someone else and MC Robyn Perkins

In a last minute change sadly Tiff Stevenson can't make it tonight. But boy do we have a cracker of a replacement for her! STEPHEN K AMOS!!

For years we have been trying to get Stephen to the Four Thieves, and finally, he has stepped in to save the day. As seen on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You, The Stephen K Amos Show and many many more,  Stephen is one of the top comics on the circuit with his mix of observational comedy mixed with a dose of political satire! He is sure to be a hit with you guys!

Opening the show we have the upbeat and chatty SIMON FEILDER. His stories are relatable, hilarious and bring energy into every room. He’s a favourite of the club and we have him back. 

In the middle is another surprise... we have a hit visiting US comic coming down Eric Patrick! And hosted by resident MC ROBYN PERKINS. 

Laugh Train Home Comedy - Wednesday September 13th - 8.30pm Jarred Christmas, Alastair Williams, someone else and MC Robyn Perkins

THE BEST CLUB COMIC IN THE WORLD! Honestly, if you haven’t seen JARRED CHRISTMAS live, you haven’t seen comedy. He was the first every headliner at The Four Thieves, and continues to blow us away every time he returns. Sure you can see him all over the TV (8 Out of 10 Cats, Mock the Week, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, Argumental and many many more), but nothing is like seeing him live. 

And with a Kiwi comic closing, what better than to have the Aussie powerhouse ALISTAIR WILLIAMS opening. He is the Michael McIntyre of Battersea young professionals, and everytime he comes, he rips the gig apart. 

In the middle we have another phenomenal comic. And that’s all we can say about that. Of course we have resident MC robyn perkins orchestrating the night!

Laugh Train Home Comedy - Wednesday September 6th - 8.30pm Keith Farnan, Tom Toal, Sindhu Vee and MC Robyn Perkins

This is the week! We have have Irish superstar KEITH FARNAN (Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow) headlining. He is so clever, upbeat and hilarious. We also have TOM TOAL and SINDHU VEE on the bill. Tom has just returned from the Edinburgh Fringe with a critically acclaimed show: Better Than Before. He is an amazing club comic and the perfect way to start the show. Then we have Sindhu Vee, who could not be more opposite. She is cool, calculated, clever and witty. She’s been seen on BBC Radio 4 and the BBC Asian Network and is going places fast. Catch her now...she WILL be the next big thing. Tying it all together is MC Robyn Perkins (fresh from the Fringe as well). 

Laugh Train Home Comedy - Wednesday July 19th - 8.00pm HATE N’ LIVE ft. Scott Capurro

PLEASE NOTE: JULY SHOWS START ROUGHLY AT 8PM!!

This night is different, cool, edgy and FUN! 

Instead of 3 acts across a night, this week will be Hate N Live. This fast moving comedy show has the audience write down suggestions which are pulled at random out of a bucket, then the comedians have to say why they hate it...no matter what it is! 

Everyone likes seeing a comedian let rip on a deserving target, but the real fun comes from seeing a comedian squirming to find an angle to hate on something that’s impossible to hate, such as “puppies” or “the abolition of slavery”. This is Whose Line Is It Anyway? meets Room 101!
