The new open-mic comedy night will bring rising stars and established acts to Prohibition
Giggle Water Comedy is an exciting new ‘pay what you feel’ comedy night at Prohibition Comedy Bar in Newcastle. Founded in April by Rachel Selkirk, Giggle Water is an open-mic stand-up night that positions some of the best rising stars in comedy alongside more experienced acts. The event has already hosted an array of exciting new acts, and saw some brilliant, experienced comics from the North East comedy scene trying new material. The laid-back nature of the nights mean anything can happen, no two shows are the same but all are in the safe hands of an experienced compere each month.
On Thursday 2nd June Giggle Water present a Pride Special hosted by Sunderland’s quick-witted Matt Reed, a touring stand-up of nearly twenty years’ experience. He will be joined on the night by comedian and musician Eppie Brilliant, funny man Bryan James, Northumbrian Stew Simpson as well as Deborah Healey, Kathryn Cardose and Isabelle Evans.
The Pink Lane venue is fast becoming something of a mainstay of Newcastle’s underground circuit, subsequent events take place on the first Thursday of every month, with future shows featuring hosts Bryan James (7th July) and John Scott (4th August).
