This month’s top comedy gigs

There are plenty of great comedy events this month to put a smile on your face, so we’re sure something will tickle your fancy. On 14 July, the Big Deal Comedy night hits The Town and Gown in the city centre, offering an intimate evening with both seasoned comics and rising stars. Or over at the Junction, hear from the likes of Tiff Stevenson and Shazia Mirza, who are both stopping by on 24 July and will be delving into some of our most startling cultural conundrums, as well as shining a light on the extreme sport that is womanhood. On 26 July, meanwhile, comedy sisters Flo & Joan (pictured above) bring us an hour of mischievous musical numbers. To round off the month, the Portland Comedy Club is back on 30 July – delivering an evening of hilarity, with flowing drinks and an upbeat atmosphere. The bill is to be confirmed, but you can expect a varied and high-quality selection of performers.
