GRINSTOCK COMEDY CLUB - December 14th PEACEHAVEN, EAST SUSSEX

After another sold out show we move into our 3rd night of award winning comedy on the coast, this months lineup is another packed out show of award winning comedians from the National and TV comedy circuits in the UK. 

MC CHRIS BETTS 

"Properly Hilarious" - What's on London

Chris Betts began his comedy career in Montreal, Canada and has since performed all across Europe and North America. He’s made appearances at Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival, SXSW and the Zulu Comedy Festival. Betts’ mind is a curious place, where the philosophical meets the ridiculous. His shows are a perfect balance of incisive social satire and complete silliness. We’ve been using Chris as one of our MC’s for over 3 years, we love him and we are sure you will also.

Jon began standup comedy in 2010, with his first performance at Birmingham's Highlight Comedy Club. Two successful Edinburgh shows later, and 5 years working the UK comedy circuit, Jon is now regularly found at the biggest and best comedy clubs across the UK. His 2015 Daves Leicester Comedy Festival show, Jon Pearson: Tall Order, sold out at Melton Theatre within 2 weeks, Jon's laid back storytelling has audiences hanging on his every word. With tales based around his own life experiences, his anecdotes are relatable and certain to have people in hysterics.
