Work In Progress: Ollie Young & Tom Hutchinson | Live Stand-Up Comedy at The Jesters Comedy Club, Bath

Two of the South West's sharpest rising comedians take the stage for a raw, unfiltered work in progress night — and you're in the room when the jokes are being born.

Ollie Young is a Bath-based comic already making waves with his dry wit and awkward likability — a Chortle Student Comedy Award semi-finalist and Stand Up for Cider finalist who has been quietly becoming one of the most exciting voices on the South West circuit. As the Bath Echo put it, he "turns out a lot funnier than that sounds."

Joining him is Bristol's Tom Hutchinson — Bristol Comedy Competition Runner Up 2026 and co-host of the Serving Cursed podcast, a Bath Comedy Festival New Act finalist and a comedian known for his high-speed, high-energy style and love of the absurd. Beyond The Joke's Bruce Dessau called him "a formidable force of nature."

Tonight, each of them performs 30–40 minutes of brand new material — jokes still being written, ideas still finding their shape, punchlines being stress-tested on a real live crowd. A work in progress show is stand-up comedy in its most honest form: no polish, no safety net, just a comedian and an audience figuring it out together.

What to expect: Two sets of 30–40 minutes each. New jokes. Expect the unexpected — that's the whole point.
