Our regular comedy night at The Arc, Barnstormers Comedy presents a line-up of three top acts from the London comedy circuit and beyond: many of them Comedy Store regulars.
Matt Green
Matt Green is an established British stand-up comedian, actor, and writer renowned for his sharp political satire and viral online sketches.

Louise Leigh
Louise Leigh is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian and a prominent figure in the British comedy circuit, particularly known as a stalwart of the Bristol comedy scene. Describing herself as "a wordsmith living in an idiot's body," she took up stand-up comedy in her forties after dreaming of doing it since she was 16. Her performance style is widely celebrated as warm, sharp, highly observational, and frequently physical. Critics often describe her as a "sweary Julie Andrews" with the high-energy charm of a Radio 2 presenter caught by the tabloids.
A naturally funny woman who’s been around for long enough to know what matters

Highly perceptive, with big belly laughs along the way
