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

November’s First Thursday features Dan Tiernan (“Frenzy of laughter” Chortle; “thrilling rollercoaster ride” The Telegraph), Hatty Preston (“Destroys the crowds” Jennifer Saunders), Joshua Robertson, and your compere Andrew O’Neill (“Comedic brilliance” Time Out).

Dan Tiernan is a gay, dyspraxic millennial. The last couple of years have seen him quit his job as a dinner lady, finally leaving home and becoming 2023 BBC New Comedy Awards winner, British Comedian of the Year and not forgetting The Met’s Comedian Of The Year! Catch him while we can still afford him! Tour support for Micky Flanagan and Jamali Maddix. As seen on BBC, Channel 4, Comedy Central, Dave and ITV2.

“Raucously entertaining” The Guardian; “Exhilarating… a frenzy of laughter.” Chortle; “A furious yet friendly, thrilling rollercoaster ride” The Telegraph; “Witness a future stand-up star” British Comedy Guide

London born and Chicago raised, Hatty Preston has opened for major US and UK comics including Jack Whitehall. In the US she regularly performs at Chicago’s Laugh Factory and Comedy Bar and has appeared everywhere from New York to Texas to Nashville. If you’re trying to work out where you have seen Hatty before then it could well have been Call The Midwife or The Royals as screen acting is her side hustle.

“Genuinely makes me laugh and destroys the crowds.” Jennifer Saunders

Andrew O’Neill is an award-winning comedian, musician and best-selling writer. A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up. They have acted opposite John Hamm and David Tennant in Good Omens, Steve Coogan in Saxondale and Tom Burke and Ellie Bamber in Alan Moore’s film The Show.

Karl Porter takes the middle spot.

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

Please note that previously advertised comedians Russell Hicks and Joshua Robertson will no longer be appearing.
