The Fog Box Comedy Club 2025 Open Mic Winners Showcase

Join us for a night of up-and-coming comedy as we showcase the amazing winners of our 2025 comedy open mic nights.

Matthew Wheelwright

Nerds Just Wanna Have Fun described Matthew as a "comic genius," and we concur. Whether you saw him perform with Nina Gilligan in August or not, you’ll want to see this fast-rising comedian. His work often reflects on how being a test tube baby has shaped his view of the world and his place in it.

Elenor Green

Elenor won the mid spot for Paul Foot and had the sold-out crowd in stitches. She was such a hit, Paul invited her to perform with him in London. Elenor is a brilliant comic who we’re delighted to have back on the Fog Box stage.

Fred Carver

Halifax native Fred won the Chortle student comedy award at Edinburgh Fringe 2025 and wowed the audience at our open mic night as well as the recent Nina Gilligan gig at The Golden Lion. His observational work can range from Banksy artwork on the Moon to TikTok algorithms and a flirtatious driving instructor.

Plus: the winner of our November Fog Box Open Mic Night will round off the bill.

Our proactive stance on diversity and offering comics from all walks of life a safe space to perform their comedy is a priority for us.

We are very happy to speak with anyone who’d like a go at an open mic comedy night – drop us a line if you'd like to know more or would like advice. We’re happy to support you getting where you want to be in the world of comedy.

Love wins; it always wins.
