A event held at The Grain Barge on Thursday 27th March. The event starts at 19:30.
The award winning People's Comedy returns to the Grain Barge. Paying and platforming comedians equally.
We've sold-out every show so please book in advance.
We will have the superstar Greg Winfield as MC.
Greg’s regularly released online content and his crowdwork and sketches have over 14 million views on TikTok.
+6 comedians to be announced!
Winner Best Comedy Format in Britain for Midlands and the West (Chortle, 2024)
Winner Best Themed Comedy Night in Britain outside of London (Chortle, 2023)
ABOUT THE AREA and WHY WE'RE HERE:
The area once had dockers who protested for better working conditions, and Bristolians like Easton-born Ben Tillett was an ardent supporter thereof.
Nationally, Tillett helped establish the Dock, Wharf, Riverside and General Labourers’ Union, achieve better wages for dock workers, better job security, & a greater recognition of Workers’ Rights in the UK.
Tillett wrote:-
"The situation of the 130,000 port workers was truly pitiable; most got only five to seven months’ work a year..."
Now, are we likening these sentiments to our ethos including our equal pay structure for every single comedian (who still aren't considered artists in the UK by the way) that we platform? YES! Is it tenuous? Maybe a bit.
N.B. : the more we make through tickets, the more we can pay acts! But please only give as much as you can comfortably.
Look forward to seeing you there!
