Event information

What’s SoFunny is our Pay What You Want Tuesday. All you have to do is reserve a completely free ticket, then pay whatever you can afford on the night!

Twice per month Jacob Hatton (Edinburgh Fringe 2023 Best Jokes of the Fringe) hand picks his favourite acts from the circuit and lets them run amok beneath the fresco ceiling of the beautiful Angelic Pub in Islington.

This month we have a triple threat headliner.

First, the unbelievable Mark Thomas. Mark Thomas is widely recognized as one of the boldest and the most uncompromising comedians in the last twenty years, who has had no qualms in combining comedy with political activism. A proper comedy superstar, all at your local club.

We're also super proud to welcome Philip Simon. Philip Simon is an award-winning stand up comedian, actor and writer who gigs across the UK around the world. As well as working as part of the production team for BBC TV's Mock the Week and Taskmaster for Dave, he has written for Mock the Week, BBC Radio 4 Xtra's Newsjack and The Canal Cafe's Newsrevue.

Ben Van der Velde is a stand-up comedian, actor, improviser and presenter.“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.” Huffington Post

He is a regular host and act for respected British comedy clubs such as The Comedy Store, Komedia, The Glee, Headliners, Up the Creek, The Stand, Just the Tonic, Top Secret Comedy, Outside the Box and Comedy Club 4 Kids, as well as hosting stages for Bestival, Festival No.6, End of the Road and Sunday Papers Live.

All three are proper headliners, but there's so much more and all, Pay What You Want!

Expect incredible headliners, big hitters from the comedy club and a middle section where a few of his favourite new acts bring the best to impress the crowd.
