Phil Wathern & Abi Myles: Work In Progress

Phil Wathern & Abi Myles – Work In Progress | Live Stand-Up Comedy in Bath

See new comedy material take shape live on stage with Phil Wathern & Abi Myles in this Work In Progress stand-up comedy show at The Jesters Comedy Club in Bath.

Phil Wathern is a Bristol-based comedian gaining attention on the UK comedy circuit for his joke-packed routines and deceptively laid-back delivery. He takes big themes like life, death and football and refines them into punchy, sharply written material that audiences warm to immediately. Phil has been a finalist in Stand Up For Cider and the Philly Cup new act competitions and has appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe in shows like Man of Few Words, earning praise for strong writing and stage presence.

Abi Myles is a rising stand-up comic and regular on regional comedy nights. She brings a playful energy and engaging voice to her sets, often mixing observational humour with sharp punchlines — a style that works beautifully in the unpredictable environment of a Work In Progress show. Abi has been featured on line-ups alongside established comics at events like the Rebel Rebel Comedy Night, demonstrating her growing presence on the UK comedy scene.

Work In Progress shows are a unique opportunity to see comedians test fresh material, refine jokes and develop future sets before they become polished showcases. In the intimate setting of The Jesters, this leads to spontaneous moments, surprising laughs, and creative risks that rarely happen in finished shows.

Perfect for fans of live stand-up comedy in Bath, anyone curious about the creative process, or those who love discovering rising comic talent before they hit bigger stages.
