Hilarious comedy at The Met on the First Thursday of every month.

Featuring Kai Humphries (“Immensely gifted” The Skinny), Connor Burns (“Highlight of the night!” Chortle), Lewis Coleman, and your compere, Alun Cochrane (“The best” Independent; “Brilliant no-frills stand-up” The List).

Happy-go-lucky Geordie Kai Humphries has an infectious enthusiasm and high-octane delivery. His genuinely hilarious and delightfully optimistic material has made him thousands of fans across the 55 countries he has performed in with long time friend and podcasting partner Daniel Sloss.

When back on home turf, Kia is one half of the highly acclaimed “Sloss and Humphries on the Road”. He has also toured nine solo shows including a coveted off-Broadway run in New York. Catch Kai in his natural element as he shares stories, observations and thoughts on the weird and wonderful experiences that have coloured his global adventures.

“Immensely gifted stand-up” The Skinny; “Collapsing with laughter” Fife Today; “Impossible likeability” Three Weeks

Powerhouse stand up Connor Burns has been making waves in his native Scotland. Big waves. Waves so big, in fact, he has surfed down to England on them! Named as Best Newcomer in the Scottish Comedy Awards in both 2019 and 2020, Connor’s rapid rise was stalled by lock down meaning he “had to drive a f*cking delivery van for nine months”. Hilarious, Scottish-level cynicism and self-deprecation are what set Connor apart and have seen him support Daniel Sloss, Tom Stade, Gary Meikle and Larry Dean on their recent tours.

“Absolutely cracking” The Stand; “Highlight of the night!” Chortle; “Mark him out as one to watch.” The Scotsman

Alun Cochrane has popped up on everything from Have I Got News For You to 8 Out Of 10 Cats to Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio show. Expanding life’s more mundane details into eye wettingly funny routine has been his mainstay for many a year. Whether it’s crisp packet opening etiquette or the buddy bench at your kids’ school, Alun has done all the thinking for you. Later years have seen him take on modern life’s more contentious topics but don’t worry, laughter is always first and foremost and, if you have been left with a little bit to think about, then all the better.

“Big belly laughs” The Guardian; “Master storyteller” Metro; “Some of the most listenable-to lines in the business” The Scotsman
