Event Details
The Newbie Show is The Jesters Comedy Club’s open mic night for the brave, the bold, and the just-starting-out. Whether it’s your first time on stage or your first time in the audience, this is where stand-up begins.
Every Wednesday, we open the stage to 12 brand-new or developing acts, each with 5 minutes to make some noise, test some material, and maybe even bring the house down. No need to be ‘in the scene’ just turn up, sign up, and give it a go.
Sign-up runs from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the club. Names are drawn at 7:30pm sharp, with the show starting shortly after. Come to perform, or come to support comedy’s newest fools—all for just £1.
In partnership with Big Squash Comedy at The Saracen’s Head, performers can double up and do two open mics in one night meaning more stage time, more fun, more jester energy.
🎟️ Entry: £1 on the door
🎙️ 5-minute spots – 12 spaces per show
