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

Featuring Paul McCaffrey (Live At The Apollo, Stand Up Central), Ian Stone (“It’s the sheer quantity of funny material that impresses” The List), Paul Campbell, and compere Mick Ferry (“Masterful” The List).

If you’re a fan of Mock The Week or 5 Live’s Fighting Talk then Ian Stone will have already made you laugh. This north London, working class, Jewish comedian has an easy-going manner that endears him to any crowd. He has achieved a number of ‘firsts’ – the first British comic to gig in Moscow and the first at the Mumbai Comedy Store too. Firsts are all well and good but he also has a pretty impressive ‘last’ when he was booked for the QE2’s last trip across the Atlantic. He’s also been pretty impressive as an author; To Be Somebody tells of his love of post punk band The Jam, even gaining approval from front man Paul Weller. The Independent newspaper declared Ian to be amongst the top ten stand up comedians in Britain and the rest of the press have been pretty impressed too!

“Seriously funny” The Guardian; “Ultimately, it’s the sheer quantity of funny material that impresses” The List; “Stone’s beautifully crafted stories, peppered with gags and asides were hilarious throughout.” Chortle

Paul McCaffrey’s numerous TV appearances include Live at the Apollo, Russell Howard’s Good News, Impractical Jokers UK and Stand Up Central. He’s one of the most in-demand club headliners and has been support act for the biggest names in comedy including Kevin Bridges and Sean Lock. Whether it’s an enormous arena or the cosy confines of a pub back room, McCaffrey’s slightly cynical and completely baffled take on modern life wows the crowd every time. Come and see why!

“Gut-bustlingly hilarious” GQ Magazine; “Born to be a comic” The Scotsman

Few are funnier than Comedy Store and Frog & Bucket veteran Mick Ferry! Whether he’s running with a scatterbrained idea, an audience suggestion or dipping into his extensive mental files of absolute, top drawer gags and routines, the end result is a barrage of laughter from a very happy audience and that is what we are all about.

★★★★★ Mirror; “Absolute legend” Jason Manford; “See him or regret it” John Bishop

Paul Campbell takes the middle spot.
