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.
A three times finalist of the BBC New comedy Awards, Jake brings an innocent, gentle and wickedly funny west country perspective to his observations of modern life and sophisticated pretentions.
Reading comedian, Rhodri has something of a cult following. His quirky style, off beat observations and likeable personality have made him a great favourite of the local scene, and his comedy is 'borderline genius' or 'borderline madness' depending on your point of view. We love him.
A quick-witted, slow walking, fast rising star, Ricky Balshaw is without question, the funniest Paralympic Dressage medallist in the UK, perhaps the world. Stepping over his cerebral palsy like it's the mildest of inconveniences, Ricky pulls his audience into a joyfully dark world of self-deprecating hilarity. No sympathy vote is needed (or accepted) as Ricky dominates comedy stages up and down the UK. A brilliant joke-smith and storyteller, this young man has comedy greatness in his bones.
