Friday Night Comedy

A stand-up comedy night in Chester, staged at Alexander's Live, with established comedians from across the UK and beyond, a newcomer slot in the middle and a DJ session afterwards.

Friday Night Comedy is a stand-up night at Alexander's Live, a venue for music and live performance in Chester. The bill is built around several headline comedians, chosen from across the UK and beyond, and each evening also includes a shorter middle slot for an emerging comedian who is breaking onto the scene or testing new material. The aim is to give newer performers a stage alongside more established names.

The format is a run of live stand-up sets, with the comedy finishing before the evening moves on to a DJ night. Local DJs from Eclectic Electric take over from that point, keeping the atmosphere going for those who stay. The bar stays open throughout and offers a range of beers, ales, lagers, wines and spirits, along with low and no alcohol options and soft drinks.

The night suits anyone looking for a comedy evening out in Chester, whether they want to see well-known acts, discover emerging talent or continue into a DJ set afterwards. Seating is unreserved and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
