The Comedy Sty

The Comedy Sty is a stand-up comedy night staged inside a repurposed shipping container at Piglove By The River in Leeds. It showcases emerging acts from the northern comedy circuit.

The Comedy Sty brings the northern comedy circuit to Leeds, with emerging acts taking to the stage in turn through the evening. The material mentioned for the night covers alternative and character comedy, dark parody, surreal sketch and topical stand-up, so the lineup of styles is varied from one act to the next.

The setting is a converted shipping container at Piglove By The River, where audiences sit in a snug area and can order craft beer during the show. The evening runs as a sequence of acts, with the next performer taking the microphone once the previous one has finished. The night is held every two weeks, and the venue is open to guests aged 18 and over.

The Comedy Sty suits those who enjoy stand-up in a small, informal room and want to discover newer performers rather than established names. Piglove By The River hosts concerts and shows in Leeds, and this comedy night is one of the events staged there.
