Sorry\, but we can only refund or reallocate if the show is cancelled. Thanks! \nGavin Webster’s style of comedy is loud\, sharp and controversial – and audiences love him for it. A definite Geordie\, Gavin has superb stage presence. His material is bold and provocative yet delivered in a charming manner – which has brought him much praise and attention. \n‘Surreal genius’ The Stage ‘Seriously funny’ ★★★★ Entertainment now \nAudiences can be forgiven for underestimating Peter Brush when he takes to the stage. If ballsy bravado is your thing then Brush certainly isn’t your man! Peter’s slight frame\, spectacles and scruffy hair adding nothing to the illusion that you are in for some first class entertainment. \n”Compellingly hilarious.. …achingly funny” ★★★★★ Chortle \nRob Rouse‘s career has seen him encompass pretty much everything from presenting Channel 4’s The Friday Night Project\, to appearing in the West End\, to teaching geography. We would like to point out that this isn’t in chronological order. Rob’s a one man comedy whirlwind who drags the audience into his craftily spun tall tales with bucketfuls of manic energy\, first class stage craft\, eerily convincing characterisations and a barrage of hilarious one liners. \n“Genuinely funny bones”  Sunday Times  “Eye-wateringly hilarious” ★★★★★ The List ★★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News \nYour evening comes complete with Liverpool’s Katie Tracey Comedy in Congleton in May 2026 is booked by Comedy In A Van \nComedy in Congleton on Wednesday 6 May 2026 with Rob Rouse introducing Gavin Webster\, Peter Brush and Katie Tracey (C) Comedy In A Van \n

From humble (AKA very skint) beginnings growing up in Bradford\, Seeta has wandered through life wondering where exactly she fits and has had a hell of an adventure figuring it out. And it is a never-ending stream of ridiculousness that provides the fodder for her comedy. Seeta made her TV debut on the BBC New Comedy Awards back in 2022 and has recenbtly supported Kiri Pritchard-Mclean on tour.  \n‘Taking the comedy circuit by storm‘ Yorkshire Evening Post \nLondon Comedy Store regular\, Roger Monkhouse`s trademark stage-prowling style and curious\, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit.

Fully seated. 18+ Proper sweary\, swearing. We want everyone to have a great night so please pop your phone on silent and don’t chat whilst the show is in progress. Thanks! Sorry\, but we can only reallocate or refund if the show is cancelled.\n \nWe gave Paul Smith his first ever paid gig about twenty years ago and he then decided to become MASSIVE! Following sold-out stadium runs and viral success across the globe\, Paul’s trademark crowd work\, razor-sharp observations\, and laugh-out-loud true stories elevate comedy to a new level. This is stand-up at full throttle: fast\, fearless\, and relentlessly funny. \n‘Like a pop star’s homecoming’ The Guardian \nIt may have taken us 25 years but\, we finally got Mark Steel! The Sony and Writers’ Guild Award-winning writer and comedian is best known for his critically acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel’s in Town. Mark has presented the BAFTA-nominated Mark Steel Lectures for BBC Two and is a regular on BBC One’s Have I Got News for You and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz. He has also written several acclaimed books\, including: Reasons To Be Cheerful and What’s Going On. \n‘He’s a man with a passionate desire to communicate his ideas\, who is also very funny’  The Guardian \n‘Steel’s rapier wit cuts to the chase’ The Observer  ‘Excellent stand up’  The Times  \nEver since Day One we have proudly championed new and emerging talent. For our 25th we have carried that on by booking two of the acts who have impressed us the most on the last couple of years. Bradford’s Seeta Wrightson certainly fits that bill. From humble (AKA very skint) beginnings growing up in Bradford\, Seeta has wandered through life wondering where exactly she fits and has had a hell of an adventure figuring it out. And it is a never-ending stream of ridiculousness that provides the fodder for her comedy. Seeta made her TV debut on the BBC New Comedy Awards back in 2022 and has recenbtly supported Kiri Pritchard-Mclean on tour.  \n‘Taking the comedy circuit by storm‘ Yorkshire Evening Post \nJustin Moorhouse headlined our second ever show and he’s been popping back regularly ever since. If you haven’t seen him here\, then you may well have caught him on tour\, at The Comedy Store\, on QI\, Coronation Street\, Celebrity Mastermind\, Live At The Apollo\, Dave’s One Night Stand or even Phoenix Nights (ask your mum!)\, you’ll know why he is constantly in demand as one of the UK’s funniest performers. Peerless performance skills backed by an arsenal of carefully crafted routines and tightly written gags make Justin a surefire success in front of any audience as thousands of fans will gladly testify. \n“If good old-fashioned joke-telling is your thing\, then Justin Moorhouse is your man” Fest \n Off The Rails Comedy Club is programmed\, promoted and produced by Comedy In A Van and held at The Royal George\, Greenfield. \nSunday 31 May sees Paul Smith\, Mark Steel and Justin Moorhouse celebrate 25 years of Off The Rails Comedy Club\, Saddleworth

Sorry\, but we can only reallocate or refund if the show is cancelled. \nSimon Wozniak’s honest\, inimitable\, no holds barred opinions on the world and frenetic and opinionated style have seen him rise phenomenally through the comedy ranks. Cheerfully self-deprecating\, Simon is confident with joke structure and can use his skills to present unpredictable punchlines which take the wind out of his audience! \n“Star in the making” Time Out  “Cleverly off-beat” Independent \n\nVancouver’s Glenn Wool reached these shores in the mid-Nineties and\, much to the disdain of lesser comedians\, it looks like he’s here to stay. When not at home in his adopted Essex\, Wool consistently sells out shows at the world’s biggest comedy festivals and has appeared on numerous TV shows. Topical\, engaging\, opinionated but never preachy and\, of course\, downright hysterically funny\, Glenn is a surefire hit in front of any audience. \n“Why aren’t you in a queue somewhere buying a ticket?” Scotsman  “Effortlessly funny” Guardian   “Absolutely hilarious” Independent \nMC Alex Boardman cut his comedic teeth on the burgeoning Manchester scene with sets at the Frog & Bucket often followed by an all nighter at The Hacienda! Family life may have tempered the inner wild child but it’s certainly added to both the maturity and the relatability of his stand up. A gifted gag smith\, Alex writes for a lot of big names and TV shows including John Bishop\, A Question Of Sport and many we’re not allowed to say! \n“A great comic” Sarah Millican “Double funny” Shaun Ryder \n\n\nYour evening comes complete with Aaron Wood. \n\nThe comedians you see at Glossop Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van Glossop Comedy Club May 2026 \nGlossop Comedy Club on Sunday 31 May 2026 with Simon Wozniak\, Glenn Wool\, Aaron Wood and MC Alex Boardman (C) Comedy In A Van

Whether he’s running with a scatterbrained idea\, an audience suggestion or dipping into his extensive mental files of absolute\, top drawer gags and routines\, the end result is a barrage of laughter from a very happy audience and that is what we are all about. \n★★★★★ Mirror “Absolute legend” Jason Manford “As good as it gets” Big Issue \n Off The Rails Comedy Club is programmed\, promoted and produced by Comedy In A Van and held at The Royal George\, Greenfield. \nSunday 31 May sees Mark Steel\, Josh Pugh\, Jules O’Brian and Mick Ferry celebrate 25 years of Off The Rails Comedy Club\, Saddleworth
