Our hilarious headliner this year is Angela Barnes, best known for her appearances on Mock the Week and Live at The Apollo. “Delightfully chaotic” Winner of Channel 4’s Sean Lock Comedy Award Harriet Dyer will be opening, supported by Bristol-based guests Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2024 Eva Bindeman, up and coming funny lady Jasmine Darling, and our legendary Bristolian host Dani Johns.

It’s all in aid of One25, the Bristol charity supporting women who street sex work in our city to heal, feel loved, and thrive. So grab your tickets and settle in for belly laughs that make a real difference.

Everyone is welcome, the more the merrier! (Ages 16+)

The last Hysterical! comedy night, headlined by Sarah Pascoe, took place on 5 March 2025 and was a roaring success. Read all about it here.
