Come for dinner, stay for the belly laughs. Our second comedy night of the year lands in the cosy surrounds of Bar Bamford. Settle in for some top-shelf stand-up, a proper drink in hand, and the kind of close-up atmosphere where punchlines hit twice as hard.
Make a night of it: book a table in the bistro for pre-show dinner, then wander through for the show.
Only 50 seats. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
