Live Comedy Night

Don't Panic in association with Nice N' Spiky Presents:

Live Comedy Night

At a time as mentally exhausting as this, we have to laugh in the face of injustice, take the piss out of those standing in our way, and most importantly, celebrate black joy! So, stop ordering zany face-masks online and start reserving your seats because we're beaming a hilarious evening of live comedy directly into your homes, with all profits going to Black Minds Matter UK. Join us for exclusive online performances from the fantastic Stephen K Amos, Dane Baptiste, Thanyia Moore and Nathan Caton!

That's right, you don't have to worry about sitting in a sweaty comedy club full of people expelling their droplets. That's because you can enjoy this one-night-only, virtual comedy experience from the comfort of your sofa, where the only droplets you'll have to worry about are your own.
Not only is laughter a form of resistance in itself, but it's also essential for the state of our mental health during these difficult times. That's why all profits from the event will go to the brilliant Black Minds Matter UK, which aims to make mental health more relevant and accessible to black communities, while removing the stigma around it. They connect black individuals and families with professional mental health services and resources. Since it was founded in June, the charity has already helped over 700 people receive free therapy sessions. However, there are still many, many more across the country in real need of the service, so your donation has the power to be completely life-changing.

The Acts:

Stephen K Amos
As seen on shows such as Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, Live At The Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance and QI, Stephen has been described by The Sunday Times as "a national treasure". Charming and able to find comedy in the most unexpected places, he's an experienced performer who's had audiences laughing across the world.

Dane Baptiste
Original and provocative, Dane has been hailed as one of the most exciting acts to break through in years. The London-born stand-up made comedy history in 2014 as the first black British act to be nominated for a Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Since then, he's embarked on a host of sold-out tours, and written and starred in his own BBC sitcom.

Thanyia Moore
Thanyia is a comedian, actress, writer and presenter from London. In 2017, she joined the likes of Katherine Ryan, Andi Osho, Sarah Millican, London Hughes and Desiree Birch, when she was crowned Funny Women Champion, beating over 400 others in the process. She's worked alongside some of the biggest stand-ups in the country, and recently supported Dane Baptiste on tour.

Nathan Caton
Nathan has appeared on Live at the Apollo, made regular appearances on Mock the Week and has a hit BBC Radio 4 sitcom, "Can't Tell Nathan Caton Nothing". His signature laid-back, charismatic style has seen him headline comedy clubs across the country, while The Guardian has praised him for "chopping down fools of all colours, both in day-to-day life and in the media".

Further Details:
The event won't be repeated or streamed, and you need a ticket to attend. Just like in a face-to-face comedy show, you'll be able to see and hear both the comedians and the audience, so you're encouraged to keep your videos on, clap, laugh and generally have a good time.
You'll be emailed a private Zoom link three hours before the show begins, and all you'll need to watch the show is a laptop or smartphone. Also, please note that in the unlikely event of a performer needing to cancel, the organiser reserves the right to amend the line up without notice. Over 18's only. We look forward to seeing you there!
