Event information
Join us for the first Wingerworth Comedy Club of 2025! After the incredible sellout success of our first two nights, we’re returning with three more amazing acts and big laughs right here on your doorstep, all presented by your (local resident...) resident MC Carl Jones!
Don’t miss out - these tickets sold very quickly last time and we’re strictly limited on capacity so book early to avoid disappointment.
HEADLINE ACT: STEVE ROYLE
Steve Royle is a comedian, actor, radio presenter and variety star combining stand-up comedy, madcap antics and juggling. In 2020 Steve came third on Britain’s Got Talent performing to the four judges, a live virtual audience of 500 and over 12 million people nationwide watching on TV.
His comedy skills have taken him all over the world performing on cruise ships, in hotels and comedy clubs throughout the UK and abroad.
In 2015 he performed 16 nights at The Manchester Arena as part of the Phoenix Nights Live show, helping raise well over £5 million in the process for Comic Relief. He also appeared at the London Palladium twice within a month later that year when he performed as part of the TV show “Sunday Night at The Palladium” and as warm-up for One Night With Neil Diamond.
Steve is also a Gillard award winning presenter on BBC Radio Lancashire and a veteran of 24 pantomimes, most recently completing his 19th consecutive pantomime at The Grand Theatre, Blackpool.
Steve spent many years supporting the likes of Peter Kay, Dave Spikey, and The Lancashire Hotpots on tour. We can't wait to have him in Wingerworth!
"A brilliant comedian." - Peter Kay

FAQS
WILL YOU BE SERVING ALCOHOL?
We will be running ‘bring your own booze’ again and will NOT be serving alcohol. You’re welcome to bring your own and we will be selling soft drinks and snacks on the night for a small fee (cash only).
CAN I BRING CHILDREN?
The minimum age for this event is 15. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Please bear in mind that the comedians will be using strong language and adult themes throughout.
I DON’T WANT TO PAY A BOOKING FEE - CAN I GET TICKETS OFFLINE?
Yes! The team at The Barley Mow are supporting this event and you can buy tickets from behind the bar while stocks last. Please do hang around for a drink and/or food and help us support our local pub through this event.
WHAT TIME WILL THE NIGHT FINISH?
We anticipate our headline act will be finishing around 10.30pm, when we’ll be encouraging everyone to head to the Barley Mow for last orders!
I’VE SEEN BABY REINDEER - CAN I CHAT DURING THE ACTS, HECKLE, BREAK INTO SONG OR FOLLOW ANY OF THE ACTS HOME?
Please don’t! Wingerworth isn’t really on the comedy map (yet…) and all of our acts are trusting us that it’s going to be a fabulous audience. So bring your laughing gear and let’s have another great night. Our (local resident…) resident MC Carl is unable to hang anyone’s curtains.
IS THERE RESERVED SEATING?
All our seating is unreserved. The front row isn’t as daunting a place as people think, but if you do turn up late then we can’t promise that won’t be the only seats left…
WHERE CAN I PARK?
The venue has very limited parking so we’d encourage walking or being dropped off wherever possible. The Barley Mow have kindly offered their car park as an overflow so why not park your car there and have a drink before joining us? #supportyourlocalpub
