FAQS

WHY DOES THIS SHOW START AT 4PM?

Because we're running TWO SHOWS! The 4pm matinee is frozen at our usual price of £15 while the 8pm show is a little higher at £20 to secure this wonderful lineup.

WILL YOU BE SERVING ALCOHOL?

Yes! We'll also be running ‘bring your own booze’ again too to help keep the night affordable but a reasonably priced bar will also be available. We'll also have some light refreshments available on the night too.

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 two and and a half hours after show start - so approximately 6.30pm for this matinee performance. We’ll then be encouraging everyone to head to the Barley Mow!

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

WHERE CAN I EAT/DRINK BEFORE THE SHOW?

Our friends at the Barley Mow are running food and drink offers on the night! Just mention you’re heading to the show to claim these offers (and to ensure you’re in the venue by doors open!)
