What to expect

If you haven’t been to an Eat Central comedy night before, here’s what to expect:

• Four, top-tier professional comedians, fresh off the UK comedy circuit (see lineup below)
• Full bar – alcoholic and soft drinks available all night
• Table seating – because comedy is meant to be social
• Delicious food options – a burger or hot-dog with fries or something from the Bamboo asian-fusion menu!

And the best part is a ticket with food costs just £10 (or £6.50 without)!

The Line-Up

MC: Mike Cox

Mike is the everyman with a wonderfully cynical take on everyday life. With over 15 years on the circuit, he finds the funny in the familiar, from family life and relationships to the absurdities of being a grown-up. He’s a former South Coast Comedian of the Year and Not So New Comedian of the Year, and a British Comedian of the Year finalist.

“Delicious cynicism and razor-sharp wit” - Romesh Ranganathan

Opener: Tamsyn Kelly

As seen on The Stand-Up Sketch Show (ITV2)

Comedian, writer and actress Tamsyn hails from Penzance in Cornwall. She’s an Edinburgh Comedy Panel Prize winner who has appeared on ITV, BBC One, BBC Three and Comedy Central. Her debut tour, Crying in TK Maxx, was called “a sparkling party of a show” by iNews, and she brought her follow-up hour to the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.

Middle Act: Matt Lowes

Honest, cheeky and full of storytelling, wordplay and innuendo, Matt shares what life is like as a “straight acting” bisexual. He’s played Brighton’s Vaults Festival and clubs including Angel Comedy Club and Hot Water Comedy Club, and has shared bills with Rosie Jones, Carl Donnelly and Dane Baptiste.

Headliner: Will Owen

Will’s debut Edinburgh Fringe show, Like, Nobody’s Watching, mixed the camp theatrics of Saturday night TV with confessional stand-up, and earned five-star reviews and sell-out shows at Soho Theatre. He’s also won Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year and has toured with Ania Magliano and Rhys Nicholson.

“Biting yet with an archetypal indifference... it’s a winning formula” - Chortle

“A Gen Z Graham Norton” - Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke
