Beat The Clock: Comedy Gong Show at The Gaffe Comedy Club
See event details

A event held at The Gaffe Comedy Club on Saturday 5th April. The event starts at 21:30.


The Gaffe’s Comedy Gong Show!

Stand Up or Sit Down? You Decide!

Presenting The Gaffe’s Comedy Gong Show—where comedians step up, grab the mic, and try to last the full set… before the audience (and our merciless judges) gong them off stage.

The rules are simple:

Each comedian will perform their best material.
If you think they’re funny, they stay and could win a cash prize.
If they bomb, they hear the gong. - Not only do they have to stop performing, but they then receive constructive (overly harsh) feedback live on stage.
It’s comedy at its most brutal, unpredictable, and downright hilarious—where the audience holds all the power. Will we witness the rise of the next stand-up star or the fastest comedic crash-and-burn in history? There’s only one way to find out.

Come for the chaos, stay for the carnage, it is not for the faint-hearted!

Show details:

● Doors 21:00pm

● Show 21:30-23:30 (with interval)

● Last entry is 21:45

● 18+ only
