28 September 2023 — 26 September 2024 Tickets from £7.70 — Book now

Manchester’s brand-spankin’-new comedy night! Join Chris Cantrill (The Delightful Sausage, Alma’s Not Normal) for a monthly night of prototype comedy from up ‘n’ comers and bonafide legends.

Here, an exciting new project meets an old favourite of ours. Grub is an independent staple in Manchester, well-loved by locals, as a tasty hub for delicious and ever-changing street food options, and not forgetting Manchester’s best secret beer garden. Hidden from the bustle of the city, this is an oasis of all things indulgent – food, drink, music and now comedy too!

Everything Chris touches turns to weird gold, so if you’re a fan of all things skew-wiff and brilliantly funny, this is a must. Keep an eye on the ticket link to see when you can have the pleasure of a Grubby evening…
