Six years since her last solo show, Bec Hill is finally back with a brand new hour! What has she been up to? You’ll have to come along to find out! Australian-born and now London-based, ‘Bec Hill and her side-splittingly funny stand-up routine are a joy to behold… you’ll fall in love with Bec’s excitable attitude and her witty optimism. Definitely a name to remember with a smile’ (Three Weeks Edinburgh).

As seen on "8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" (the one with the flipcharts), “The Jonathan Ross Show”, “Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club” and heard on A Problem Squared, Enemy in Paris, No Such Thing As a Fish, and Lateral with Tom Scott.

Fresh from sold-out performances at the Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festivals in 2025 and Edinburgh Fringe, his European Tour, and a hit New York Soho Theatre run. Emmanuel’s hilarious and heartfelt show explores his eyesight and life after surviving heart failure. Facing the cause of the trauma and the strange, funny ways we all find to keep going when life gets hard. It’s about turning life’s toughest moments into comedy gold, finding the laughs in survival and the punchlines in perseverance. One of the UK’s most in-demand comedians, Sonubi is a powerhouse on stage, delivering unstoppable energy, razor-sharp wit, and stories that hit hard as he can and still land even harder.

Collywobblers Comedy was recently mentioned in The Londonist List Of the all-time best comedy clubs in London, in their humble opinion — the GOAT London comedy clubs; venues bringing the creme de la creme of mirthmakers, consistently.

Artists listed are correct at time of going to press, in the unlikely event that an act needs to cancel we reserve the right to amend the line up without notice and no refunds will be due. We will endeavour to bring back that artist to this venue in the future.
