We’re starting 2020 as we mean to go on and kicking off a brand-new decade (*gasps*) with a much-needed dose of positivity by way of our new campaign, Happy New Decade. As part of our mission to spread smiles across the land, something special is taking over The Cinema at Selfridges that’s sure to leave your sides and cheeks aching for days. No, it’s not a gym (new year, same you is absolutely fine by us), it’s – drumroll please – our very own Happy New Decade Comedy Club.

Hosted bi-weekly by the legendary Rich Wilson as compère, take a look at who tickles your fancy and book quickly to guarantee a laugh a minute. Plus, 100% of comedy club ticket proceeds will go to mental health charity Shout, the UK's first 24/7 crisis messaging service who offer help and support to those suffering from depression and mental health issues.

Roisin and Chiara & Jayde Adams

Book now

Roisin and Chiara

A whirlwind of stream of consciousness surrealism and improvisation, Roisin O’Mahony and Chiara Goldsmith have zany, physical comedy down to a fine art. Their most-recent show ‘Get Nupty’ was a tornado of dynamic storytelling, where they explored love, sexuality and friendship. “Beautifully silly”, so says the review by ‘The Sunday Times’. What more needs to be said?   

Jayde Adams

Actress, writer, singer and comedian (phew, is that all?) Jayde Adams is the winner of the 2014 Funny Women Award and 2016 nominee for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, amongst many, many other accolades. A former fishmonger at ASDA, Jayde left the fish counter behind when she caterpaulted to fame with her brilliant wit and show-womanship. She’s currently in the middle of touring her 5-star reviewed show ‘Serious Black Jumper.’  

Thursday 12 March 9.00pm – 10.30pm
  Mawaan Rizwan, Rosie Jones + Bec Hill

Book now

Mawaan Rizwan

Feel-good, bursting with energy and with the odd dance routine thrown in for good measure, actor, writer and comedian Mawaan Rizwan knows how to put on a brilliant show. Mawaan shot to fame thanks to the power of YouTube (accumulating over 18 million views, no less), and has since written for Netflix hit ‘Sex Education’, had a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show and supported Simon Amstell on his UK tour. Phew.

Rosie Jones

With potentially the most infectious laugh in comedy, Rosie Jones is a must-see on the comedy circuit. With guest appearances on ‘The Last Leg’, ‘8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown’ and ‘Mock The Week’, her cheeky, boundary-pushing humour is second to none.

Bec Hill

Born in Australia and based in London, Bec has gained a cult global following thanks to her award-winning solo show and YouTube videos. Although known for creating a unique comedy style using arts and crafts in her stand-up routines – that’s her self-dubbed “paper-puppetry” FYI – she’s also the founder of the UK’s one and only pun-based comedy night, Pun Run.  

Thursday 26 March 9.00pm – 10.30pm
Figs in Wigs & Bourgeois and Maurice

Book now

Figs in Wigs

Figs in Wigs (aka, Rachel Gammon, Suzanna Hurst, Sarah Moore, Rachel Porter and Alice Roots) is a five-piece performance collective that merges theatre, dance and comedy into one mind-bendingly absurd show. Monobrows, out-there hairpieces and bonkers costumes aside, their performances are hilariously mad-cap and brilliantly unconventional. Get ready for a generous slice of head-scratching hilarity.

Bourgeois and Maurice

Award-winning musical satirists Bourgeois and Maurice (otherwise known as Liv Morris and George Heyworth) put on one hell of a cabaret show. Sequined to the nines, the dynamic duo write earworm songs that’ll stick in your head for weeks to come, all complete with political and social commentary and darkly funny put-downs.
