The Funny Side of Earlsfield - Stand-Up Comedy

Our monthly Saturday night comedy show in south West London features some of the very best UK and international stand-up comedians on the circuit. The Funny Side clubs were established in 2006 and have the reputation of the boutique comedy night – great acts in a great venue. Tara is an intimate theatre space and perfect for comedy!

This month’s line-up includes … PAT MONAHAN (Winner of ITV’s "Show me the funny")

Irish Iranian Teesside observational stand-up comedian Patrick Monahan has been described as ‘Rip roaringly funny’. Patrick tours annually with a brand new stand up show, and has also performed at 16 years at the Edinburgh International festival. TV appearances include Splash (ITV) and Celebrity squares, The One Show (BBC), Fake Reaction (ITV), and Pointless celebrity special (BBC).

“Pat Monahan could deliver the Shipping Forecast and it would have you grinning and giggling uncontrollably. This is a great and rare gift.” ★★★★ The Scotsman
