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

December’s event features: Gareth Mutch (“Effortlessly funny” ★★★★★ One4Review), All Killa No Filla’s Rachel Fairburn (“Smart, witty… very funny!” The Scotsman), Doug Carter, and your host, Jack Gleadow (“Infectiously cheery” Chortle).

Scottish stand up Gareth Mutch is widely celebrated for his sharp, autobiographical storytelling and natural, magnetic charisma. A regular fixture at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Mutch has earned a strong reputation on the UK circuit and an ISH Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination. He frequently mines his own life for material, turning awkward family dynamics and personal mishaps into relatable comedy gold.
