Hilarious comedy at The Met on the First Thursday of every month. Featuring Stephen Bailey, Faizan Shah, Alex Mitchell, and MC Martin Mor.

Stephen Bailey (Live at the Apollo, Celebrity Mastermind, Celebrity Weakest Link, Madame Blanc Mysteries, etc), is a proud Northern, working class, gay man. Although best known as a TV presenter it’s the arena of live, stand up comedy where Stephen really shines. Gossipy, bitchy, close to the bone even, but with such an infectious sense of fun everyone gets the joke and no one is left behind.

“Natural talent” Metro “Rising star” The Sun; “Hilarious from the first line” Voice; “Fabulously funny” The Guardian

Faizan Shah moved to the UK as a child. His well-crafted jokes make light of growing up in an immigrant household and the inevitable challenges it brings. The quality of Faizan’s joke writing, and affable stage presence has seen him progress quickly from beating Comedy Store’s King Gong and Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog to now breaking through the circuit with a strong twenty minute set and performing at both those venues pro weekend gigs in under two years. We believe Faizan to be one of the most exciting new acts to come out of Manchester for a few years.

​”One of my favourite new stand up comedians” Guz Khan; “Nicely paced, deadpan delivery” Chortle

Thirty years after spectacularly shattering his ankle as a circus performer, Martin Mor turned his attention to the unsuspecting comedy circuit. Martin has established himself as one of the UK’s most popular and in-demand comedians. Martin has performed successfully at events of all description; from the Hammersmith Apollo to base camp at Everest, from Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to a show for the inmates of an Italian prison!

“The UK comedy circuit would not be the same without him” Frankie Boyle; “He wore us out with laughter.” The Scotsman

Alex Mitchell is your middle act.

First Thursday Comedy at The Met is booked by Comedy In A Van.
