If you’re craving a night of top-tier stand-up comedy, look no further. Cornerstone Arts Centre is thrilled to announce two must-see comedy events this autumn, featuring some of the best names on the circuit. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to live comedy, these shows promise sharp wit, hilarious stories, and plenty of laughs.
Comedy Special: Ed Byrne & Comedians TBA!
On Thursday 23 October, the stage belongs to Ed Byrne a household name in UK comedy. With a career spanning over 30 years, Ed has become renowned for his clever observational humor and warm, engaging style. You’ve likely seen him on popular shows like QI, Mock The Week, The Graham Norton Show, or hosting Live at the Apollo.
His latest tour, Tragedy Plus Time, was a massive hit, winning the British Comedy Guide’s Best Comedy Show of the Year and selling out venues across the country. For this special night at Cornerstone, Ed will perform an extended headline set, giving audiences even more of the sharp, insightful comedy they love. He’ll also be joined by two fantastic comedians, whose names will be announced soon — so stay tuned!
Then, on Friday 21 November, Alfie Moore rides into town with his new show Acopalypse Now. A former police officer turned stand-up, Alfie has a unique perspective on some of today’s most pressing issues — rising crime rates, global warming, artificial intelligence, and the culture wars.
His new show blends humour and realism, offering a funny but thoughtful take on the challenges we face today. Alfie’s knack for defusing tension with laughter and pragmatism makes this show both entertaining and timely. If you’re looking for comedy that’s smart and relevant, this is the one to catch.
Both shows promise nights full of laughter and insight, perfect for a night out with friends or a special treat for yourself. Tickets are available now — but they won’t last long! Make sure you grab yours early to secure a seat at these fantastic comedy events.
