Beat The Bat- Comedy Gong Show Competition

Join us for our “Beat The Bat” Comedy Gong Show Competition at JUICE Bar 26, LOWER PARLIAMENT STREET, NOTTINGHAM, NG1 3DA.

Up to 14 of the best up and coming new acts will battle it out, trying to beat the bat and stay on stage as long as possible.

Each act will have up to 5 minutes to perform, with votes by 5 members of the audience on 90 seconds, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes to decide if they should stay on stage or not.

If a majority of down votes are received at any point during the voting, the acts will have to leave the stage. The acts can only be voted off at the designated voting points and at no other time.

If they survive the three votes, the acts will go into the final where they will be given 1 further minute to impress the audience.

Once all the finalists have done their 1 minute, there will be a clap off by the audience to determine the winner.

The winning act will get £50 in cash and a trophy on the night.

Entry to this brilliant event is just £7, so don’t miss a chance to see some of the best new acts on the comedy circuit before they appear on Live at the Apollo !

Please be advised that our comedy line-ups are subject to change. Our talented comedians are in high demand and, on occasion, may need to cancel at short notice for television or radio recordings, among other reasons. Rest assured, we will always provide a replacement act of similar quality to ensure that our guests receive a great overall show experience.

While most of our guests come for the entire show, we understand that some may be travelling to see a particular comedian. If that’s the case, we recommend checking our website on the day of the show or joining our mailing list to receive the latest updates on any changes to the line-up. We’re committed to providing our guests with the best possible experience, and we thank you for your understanding.

Please note that the show starts at 8:15pm, so please ensure you leave plenty of time to get to your seat before the first act.
