Hi folks,

Welcome to a brand new year! 2010 is going to be a big year for the Comedy Basement. I hope you all didn’t suffer too much withdrawl symptoms, but never fear, the Comedy Basement will be back on Thursday 28th January!

This gig will be celebrating our one year anniversary, so we’re doing our best to bring you the best comedy that your £4 can buy!

To help celebrate our one year anniversary, the Comedy Basement will welcome one of Australia’s finest up and coming comedians, Michael Connell:

“…an absolute blast and really matched with the mixed demographic of the room.” – University of Melbourne Student Union

“…the night could not have happened without your support and charity.” – World Vision

“…both a talented performer and a person of honest character.” – Bendigo Bank

Be sure not to miss this gig!

Stay tuned to the website for further details on the Comedy Basement’s Birthday Gig later this month on the 28th January!

Hope you all had a great festive season and happy new year! Thanks for your patience but we’re very pleased to be back again!
