First Thursday Comedy

Hilarious comedy at The Met on the First Thursday of every month.

December’s event features: Gareth Mutch (“Effortlessly funny” ★★★★★ One4Review), All Killa No Filla’s Rachel Fairburn (“Smart, witty… very funny!” The Scotsman), Doug Carter, and your host, Jack Gleadow (“Infectiously cheery” Chortle).

Scottish stand up Gareth Mutch is widely celebrated for his sharp, autobiographical storytelling and natural, magnetic charisma. A regular fixture at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Mutch has earned a strong reputation on the UK circuit and an ISH Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination. He frequently mines his own life for material, turning awkward family dynamics and personal mishaps into relatable comedy gold.

“Effortlessly funny” ★★★★★ One4Review; “Good belly laughs” The List; “Gloriously awkward comedy” Entertainment Now

Rachel Fairburn is a fiercely funny, Mancunian comedian widely known as the co-host of the smash-hit true crime podcast All Killa No Filla. Celebrated for her sharp, misanthropic edge and blunt social commentary, she regularly sells out tours across the UK.

“Devilish, seven-headed humour” The Guardian; “Smart, witty… very funny!” The Scotsman; ★★★★★ Lisa In The Theatre; ★★★★ Funny Women Magazine

Hull’s Jack Gleadow is widely celebrated as a high-energy, one-man variety show. Channeling a distinctive “Butlin’s energy”, Gleadow explicitly models his act on the golden age of variety entertainment, blending physical comedy, sound cues, old-school showmanship, and playful audience participation.

“Quick, witty and funny” Voice Magazine; “infectiously cheery demeanour has the audience on side” Chortle
