This fabulous, fun night out, is like no other. ‘All Killer, No Filler’ is the Laughter Factory mantra.

Compere extraordinaire, Stephen Grant is the winner of several of the UKs most prestigious compere awards.

Described by The Scotsman, “Brilliant. This show will have you chuckling to yourself hours afterwards.”

Stephen Grant never fails to blow away his audiences, with his witty, sophisticated examination of almost everything.

Making his debut performance will be Matt Reed. This cheeky Geordie is not for the faint hearted, but for those who like their comedy with some meat on its bones, Matt Reed is ‘Fillet Mignon, served rare’.
