Carl’s Comedy Club

Ferndown raised Carl Filer is bringing Carls' Comedy Club to the Barrington Arts Centre for the first time on Friday 2nd December. Originally planned for a September debut the show was postponed as a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Carl has spent the last 6 years honing his skills as one of the top comedy club promoters in the south whilst giving local talent the chance to make their breakthrough in a world dominated by the big city promoters of London, Liverpool and Edinburgh. This debut show will see Carl himself introduce five acts from across the UK including two from the local area.

Opening the show will be Ben Harrington. His wry outlook at the world, ability to interact with the audience and funny anecdotes centred around his family, ageing body and bizarre encounters make him an enjoyable act to watch.

Poole based Lee Smith is up next as he paints a vivid picture of his anxiety attacks through self-depreciating humour that will have the audience chuckling the night away.

Winners of the 'Best Newcomer' award at the prestigious 2021 Musical Comedy Awards, Bournemouth based duo, Plastic Jeezus have hilarious lyrics covering everything from the mundane to the surreal. Their genuine musical talent will keep their deadpan, up-tempo wryness in your head for days.

Expect stupidity and nonchalance in equal measure with Wayne The Weirds 'Magical' comedy a sight to behold.

Headlining the show will be the hilarious Mike Cox. Mikes sharp witted observational comedy saw him crowned 2014 South Coast Comedian Of The Year as well as being a finalist in the prestigious Amused Moose Laugh Off in 2016. Recently supporting Clinton Baptiste he got a special mention from I'm A Celebrity star Chris Moyles.

Tickets are available from The Barrington ticket office, from www.carlscomedyclub.com or from Carl in person at The Cricketers Arms in Wimborne
