Weekend at Dad's

Weekend at Dad's is a stand-up comedy show presented at the Backyard Comedy Club in London, part of the venue's programme of comedy nights.

This is a stand-up and comedy show, performed on stage before a seated or standing audience depending on the room set-up on the night. The title, Weekend at Dad's, points to a familiar family setting, and the material is built around the comic observations that stand-up typically draws from everyday life.

The Backyard Comedy Club hosts shows in London and is a venue dedicated to live comedy. Performances there are short, direct and conversational, with the performer speaking straight to the room rather than through a scripted play. The format suits anyone looking for a relaxed evening of humour without a long narrative to follow.

The show is aimed at adults who enjoy stand-up comedy and want a lighter night out. It is a good choice for a group outing or for a first visit to a comedy club, since no particular background is needed to follow the material.
