Good Ship Comedy feat. Ed Gamble

Good Ship Comedy is heading to it's biggest and most spectacular venue yet. Brockwell Hall is a stunning Grade II-listed Georgian Mansion House set within the grounds of the historic Brockwell Park. And we're stuffing it full of the nations' funniest comedians. 

ED GAMBLE

Co-host of the award-winning mega-hit podcast Off Menu with James Acaster, Taskmaster champion, Traitors: Uncloaked host and star of pretty much ever major UK comedy show going, Ed Gamble is one of the most in-demand comics working today.
He is a master storyteller, lightning-fast improviser, keen observer of the absurd and at heart a very silly, funny boy. He joins us before heading out on a major national tour in 2027, so make sure you grab the chance to catch him in these unique surroundings.

ARCHIE MADDOCKS

Archie is a confident, cheerful, provocative and most importantly hilarious BAFTA-award winning stand-up comedian armed with a natural stage presence, quick acerbic wit and a ‘winning smile.’ Much in demand on the national circuit and internationally, Archie’s style lends itself to any environment, whether that be rowdy weekend comedy club or festival shows. Quick on his feet, with a warm and affable energy, Archie has brought his punchy stand-up to some of the biggest clubs in the UK, and as far afield as South Africa and the USA. Oh yeah, and he's also a tremendous playwright working with some of the major theatres in the country. A funnier renaissance man you will struggle to find.

AND YOUR RESIDENT HOST:

BEN VAN DER VELDE

One of the quickest wits around and a much-loved compere, he always brings a jam-packed back of nonsense, silliness and wisecracks to every gig he hosts.

"Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue." Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.”  Huffington Post
