Great news for comedy fans! Northwood House presents the first of it’s new Comedy Socials – a chance to get together with some friends and have a right old laugh!

On Saturday 30th April they’ll be bringing three new up and coming comics from the UK comedy circuit to the Northwood House Ballroom, who’ll get the chance to tickle our ribs with their topical and inappropriate jokes and get our belly laughs going. This is the first of three scheduled comedy socials, with others to follow later in the year.

Here’s the Ticket Link

Don’t expect household names though (you’d be having a laugh at this ticket price!) but these guys come very highly recommended to us by a top comedy agency, so here are the little jokers:

Paddy Young

“One of the most exciting new comics I’ve seen for a long time. Confident, assured stage presence with gags that have me laugh days afterwards. A very funny man.” Joe Lycett

– 2 Northdown New Act Finalist 2021
– Sellout Edinburgh Fringe 2021
– TV: Timewasters (ITV2), Random Acts (Channel 4), Dive In & Do It (Sky)

Dan Tiernan

Dan is a high energy act with a set full to the brim of smart offbeat jokes about his chaotic life which is pretty full on as a 25 year old, gay Mancunian guy with dyspraxia!

– Chortle Awards, Best Newcomer (2022) – Nominee
– North West Comedy Awards, Break Through Act of the Year (2021) – Winner
– Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year (2021) – Third Place

Horatio Gould

Horatio is a London based writer/comedian who since making the final of ‘South Coast Comedian of the Year’ in 2019 has gone on to be one of the most exciting new voices on the comedy circuit. Horatio is known for a blend of absurd observations and dry social commentary as well as being especially good at riffing and improvising with any crowd.

Horatio Gould is undoubtedly the SPICIEST comedian on the circuit. Been described by spice merchant’s as the ‘VINDALOO of comedy!!’

So let’s get social and have a laugh!

This is all about a sociable night out and doing something different in Cowes rather than going to the pub or out for dinner! So gather some mates or some girlfriends or even the other half and come along!

The vibe is very much “comedy club”, with a relaxed lounge and table seating plan…perfect for relaxing with friends on a fun night out! As well as the comedy we will have some great live acoustic music from local Cowes boys, the Jimmy’s Little Fish Duo, who’ll be here to open and close the Comedy Social and entertain us during the interval.

“Jimmy’s Little Fish Duo”

The Northwood House Bar will be open all through the evening from 7pm to 11pm for drinks and bar snacks, with table service also available through our on-line drinks app.
