Antenna Studios is set to launch its first-ever Comedy Night on Friday 7th November. The new event promises sharp sets, cheap drinks, and a spotlight on South London creatives.
Hosted by Eli James, who is a South Londoner by way of the U.S. and Gossip Girl, the night features a strong line-up including award-winning comic Phil Green, known for his BBC Radio 4 appearances and four-star Edinburgh Fringe shows.
Headlining the show is Alan Francis, a veteran of Psychoville, Alan Partridge, and Big Impression, known for his sharp and dark humour.
Francis is a former winner of Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny and has also appeared with Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of Scotland.
