The Roving Comedy Night is undoubtedly a highlight of our comedy year in Tring.
Four venues full of comedy loving audiences, four groups of comedians made up of professionals and a group of locals who have trained for the scariest and most exhilarating night of their lives.
Tickets are now on sale. Please purchase tickets for just one of the venues. You will stay there the whole evening and all the comedians will move from pub to pub.
If you have a friend who is performing, please check their listing below and choose one of the venues they will be performing at (assuming you want to see their show!)
THE ROVING COMEDY NIGHT
This unique night of mirth crossed with community spirit and a general love of bonkers behaviour returns for the 15th year. Another crop of new trained comedy students take their first tentative steps into the world of stand-up. Cheer them all to the rafters with the thought 'Thank god it's not me up there'!
Our students will be accompanied by professional comedians to give a guiding hand and to provide 'guarenteed' laughs. Each venue will have a professional MC to keep proceedings moving.
OUR ROVING PROFESSIONALS - Olaf Falafel, Silky, Chris Stokes and Matt Richardson
VENUE MC's - Andy Gleeks, Desmond Feehily, James Farmer & Logan Murray
