We all need a good laugh, especially after the year we’ve all had. Well it’s good to know then that Hull’s only dedicated comedy club is back open on George Street in Hull city centre. Owners Paul and Bev Hazell have got a fantastic line-up ready to go this July with top comedians coming to Hull including Bobby Davro, BGT’s Steve Royle, and Jack Gleadow.
Their other venue, located above the Comedy Lounge, is called The Stage Door with the entrance around the back (you see the connection there?). It’s also got a stacked line-up featuring some of the UK’s top tribute acts including Young Elton John, The Boy George Experience, and Absolutely Britney.
