Good Ship Comedy feat. Sara Pascoe
When: Friday 7th June 2024
Good Ship Comedy is sailing out east for the first time ever, and bringing one of the funniest headliners in the Biz, Sara Pascoe, to Leystone!
Sara Pascoe is one of the biggest stars in British stand-up right now. A regular on Live At The Apollo, QI, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and Mock The Week among others, her calling card is her perfectly wrought mixture of a rigorously academic mind unafraid to cover any topic and a sense of humour that is childishly naive and razor sharp. A best-selling author thanks to her book 'Animal', Sara's appeal is vastly wide-ranging and growing every day. If you want to have your mind expanded whilst laughing like a merry idiot, Sara is the comic for you. Grab tickets below!
