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!
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, even producing a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and hosting our own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world. 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.
Suitable for ages 6+.
Adults to sit with children in their party (and help explain anything they get stuck on).Group bookings to contain at least one adult for every three kids."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
"Absolutely hilarious." - The Yorkshire Times
"The perfect way to entertain the whole family." - Three Weeks
"All in all this show was great." - The Scotsman
"Comedy Club 4 Kids has stand-up sets from grown-up, high-quality acts who perform their usual sets, just without the swearing or rude bits." - The Independent
"...plenty of full on laughs and tears of enjoyment from parents" - Families Edinburgh -

Olaf Falafel’s Stupidest Super Stupid Show – This Time It’s Stupider.
-
The comedy show that comedians take their kids to is back and even funnier! Join Olaf Falafel (if that is his real name) for an hour of kid's comedy, which will be the stupidest show he has ever let ooze out of his brain. Expect jokes, futuristic dung beetles, truth-telling cheese and we might also all draw a Spewnicorn! And, after selling out completely for the last two years, the genuinely stupid people will be the ones who don’t get tickets straight away!
