Laff-uccino with John Robertson, Rosie Jones

Laff-uccino is a stand-up comedy night at Big Penny Social in London, with John Robertson, Rosie Jones and other comedians, presented by the Walthamstow social enterprise HAVEN Coffee.

Laff-uccino is a stand-up comedy night presented by HAVEN Coffee, a Walthamstow social enterprise that sells ethically sourced, fair-trade and organic speciality coffee. The company's wider aim is to challenge false narratives about refugees and migrants through arts and culture, and the comedy series has run since 2019 as part of that work. The evening takes place at Big Penny Social, a concert venue in London.

The bill brings together John Robertson and Rosie Jones with Yuriko Kotani and Stella Graham. It mixes comedians from refugee and migrant backgrounds performing at their first, second or third gig, participants from HAVEN's most recent stand-up workshop, and more experienced performers.

An optional donation can be added to the ticket, and the money supports HAVEN's refugee empowerment work. It funds stand-up training for refugees and people seeking sanctuary, as well as barista training and employment pathways into work.
