Comedy Club 4 Kids

Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits! Over twenty years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, popping up at festivals like Glastonbury, End Of The Road and Camp Bestival. They have also published a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and host their own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world. In August 2025, they won The Victoria Wood Award, the Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ panel prize, in recognition of our two decades in this glorious endeavour. The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob. “A highlight for children in recent years, giving them a taste of some of the biggest names in comedy… with the fun, rowdy feel of a real comedy club” – The Guardian ***** “An essential treat.” – Fest Magazine “Absolutely hilarious.” – The Yorkshire Times **** “The ethos is just right” – The Daily Telegraph “The perfect way to entertain the whole family.” – Three Weeks “All in all this show was great.” – The Scotsman “Comedy Club 4 Kids has...

Comedy Performance Day

Love making people laugh? This fun and energetic comedy workshop for young people aged 11-14 is all about jokes, sketches, improv games, and—most importantly—timing. You’ll learn how comedy works, how to follow a script, and how to create your own funny ideas, taking home a recording of your own work. Through group games and performance activities, you’ll build confidence, think quickly, and learn how to deliver a great punchline. Whether you dream of performing on stage or just want to feel more confident speaking in front of others, this class is packed with laughs, creativity, and teamwork. Led by actor Dan Avery. Dan has a BA (Hons) in Theatre, Media and Drama from the University of Glamorgan, meaning he is academically qualified to pretend for a living. Credits include Mr Rochester in Jane Eyre and the title role in Hamlet at the Minack Theatre, where he won Best Performance of the Season 2018 by being intensely dramatic in fresh air. Other roles include Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The York Realist and The Seagull.Dan also performs widely in comedy, including short sketches and public speaking events, and gained a distinction in comedy at university (which he considers proof). He has appeared in short films, independent productions and commercials, performed at the Salisbury Fringe, and taught comedy and drama at the Pauline Quirke Academy in Salisbury.
