60 minutesGarden Room
Who’s funnier: battle-hardened UK Military Veterans using comedy for recovery and resilience, or fearless Civilians who’ve only ever dodged heckles, not bullets? This is no ordinary stand-up show. It’s a high-stakes, laugh-out-loud face-off where grit meets wit. Project COMEDY brings you a powerhouse lineup: veterans who’ve served their country and now serve up killer punchlines, vs civilian comics with razor-sharp routines honed in clubs, not combat. You’ll laugh. You’ll cheer. And you’ll decide the winner. Two sides. One stage. Endless laughs. Don’t miss the funniest fight for the mic!
