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

Featuring Have A Word podcast host Adam Rowe (★★★★★ Herald ), Josh Jones (The Jonathan Ross Show, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown etc), Josh Taylor, and your compere, Nina Gilligan (★★★★★ Deadline).

Adam Rowe is now known to millions through the Have A Word podcast he co-hosts with Dan Nightingale as well as TV appearances (Live At The Apollo, Stand Up Sketch Show etc). His natural, laid back persona combined with brutally honest, opinionated stand-up and his phenomenal ad-libbing ability make each of his performances unique, gloriously unpredictable and, most importantly, always hilarious.

After a decade of slogging away at the comedy coalface, Nina Gilligan joined the ranks of Vegas, Manford and Ranganathan when she was crowned the 2021 Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year. 2023 saw Nina named as Best Act in the Yorkshire, North West and Chortle Comedy Awards, 2024 w-it was the BBC Audio Award’s chance to meet Nina and 2025 got off to a flying start when fellow comedians named her Best Club Comic in the UK Comedy Awards!
