Comedy at The Tavern Co

Live stand up comedy at the Tavern Co, Smithdown Road with brilliantly funny professional comedians.

DAWN BAILEY Headlining

XS Manchester Radio Comedian of the Year – Dawn Bailey is a forty something (ahem just turned 50) Mum who views life through happy specs and giddy knickers (her own words). An original performer, after winning the XS Manchester Radio Comedian of the Year in 2016, she began presenting her own show on the station!

A likeable and affable nature, Dawn is a regular on the UK comedy circuit and performs for some of the most reputable promoters in the country.

Dawn’s honesty regarding life and love are raw, straight to the point and comes with a no-holds-barred delivery. She is a merry maker and definitely loves to have a damn good chuckle

“Pin sharp anecdotes from a life juggling a career, kids, attending weekly slimming club meetings and the joys of involuntary flatulence… she’s a very funny lady”- The BBCD

Opening Act Alastair Clark, a Liverpool based standup comic with a conversational style and off-beat delivery. His unusual material is a playful mix of observations, confessional anecdotes, and jokes about his own mental health. Underpinned by a disarming honesty Alastair makes any topic relatable and hilarious. Alastair is a stalwart of comedy festivals across the country having appeared numerous times at Brighton Fringe, Leicester Comedy Festival, Buxton Fringe, Morecambe Fringe, as well as writing / performing 8 full-length solo-shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
