Friday Night Comedy

FRIDAY NIGHT COMEDY - LIVE IN CHESTER Alexander's Live, ChesterFriday 4 September 2026Doors 7PM // Show Starts 8PM Chester's longest-running and only weekly comedy club returns with three brilliant comedians from the UK circuit, plus an opening spot from a rising act. TOM WRIGGLESWORTH First place winner in Channel 4's prestigious So You Think You're Funny?, Tom Wrigglesworth is one of the most distinctive voices in British comedy. The Yorkshire funny man became a national have-a-go hero after rescuing a little old lady from the jaws of Virgin Trains bureaucracy, only to be arrested for begging. His subsequent sell-out show, Tom Wrigglesworth's Open Return Letter to Richard Branson, led to a nomination for the main Edinburgh Festival Comedy Award. Smart, inventive and packed with brilliantly observed storytelling, Tom is a master of finding huge laughs in the everyday absurdities of modern life. DAVE LONGLEY Deadpan, honest and daringly sharp, Dave Longley is one of the most original voices on the circuit. An 8 Out of 10 Cats writer and a brilliantly intense performer, Dave delivers shocking, well-considered and divinely funny material with an edge that keeps audiences fully locked in from start to finish. "Acid tongued and as sharp as a barrel full of tacks... As intense and intelligent a performer as you're likely to see."- The List DANNY McLOUGHLIN A local favourite and host of the Proper Rank Podcast, Danny McLoughlin is known on the UK circuit for sharp material and quick wits. Danny delivers punchline-led comedy that keeps momentum high and crowds fully locked in - relatable, confident and relentless, with the sort of easy stage presence that always goes down a storm. Plus an opening spot from one of comedy's rising performers. Comedy ticket holders receive 20% off at Four Monkeys Bar before the show. Advance booking recommended.
