Balcarras Comedy Club - Fundraiser - Fri 6th March 2026
Friday 6th March 2026
Balcarras Comedy Club, Balcarras School, Cheltenham
8pm
Age 18+ (as we hate kids)
You know the drill by now. These are fantastic nights where we bring you some of the best stand-up comedians on the UK stand-up comedy circuit to the Balcarras School Theatre!
These fundraising gigs always SELL OUT. It’s first come, first served.
When tickets are gone, they’re gone (we’re a bit like LIDIL that way, but not as cheap, and our middle aisle isn’t as exciting...).
For this bumper night of comedy, we bring you Jason Neale, Jules O’Brian, Michelle Shaughnessy and headlined by Joey Page!
Line-up is subject to change. All profit to Balcarras PTFA
Joey Page has been hailed as the future of stand up and is storming the circuit with his trail blazing brand of ‘Indie Comedy’ that’s surreal and inventive. Joey’s enigmatic and charming presence brings about an instant rapport with his audiences.
Every now and again you see a comedian like this who’s so wonderfully gifted he makes it all look effortless.
“Surreal, charming and hilarious, one of comedy’s most unique and exciting new talents.” Chortle
“A stylish comedian with a sonic imagination and a twinkle in his eye” Noel Fielding
Michelle Shaughnessy
Originally from Toronto, Michelle Shaughnessy is a stand-up comedian who has made a name for herself across North America and now resides in the UK. Newly based in London Michelle is becoming a fan favourite all over the UK.
'Be one of the first to see Michelle in the UK before she's all over TV. Hilarious! The ideal night out' Katherine Ryan
‘Star Quality…’ The List
Jules O’Brian
Brummie-based Jules performs around the country, telling anyone who will listen about ageing disgracefully, body hang–ups, parenting, and dating. This former teacher’s relaxed, chatty style, crowd interaction and warmth, all served with a sardonic wit, make her a natural crowd-pleaser.
“Funny as f***” Mama Life Magazine
“Slick writing with a twinkle in her eye.” Scott Bennett
Hailing from Leicestershire, Jason Neale is as adept at MC-ing for wide range of venues and audiences as he is delivering tight, punchy and hilarious 20 minute sets.
If you want a sharp anecdotal, unapologetic, out-for-belly-laughs stand-up then Jason is your man.
“When it comes to MCing, Jason is one of the safest pair of hands in the business. Quick responses & sharp wit make him our go to man” Scallywags Comedy
“Well-written sharp gags & stories tied together with a stage persona that warms an audience instantly.” - Exchange Comedy
