The Horse & Plough Comedy Night

The Horse & Plough is host to our next brilliant comedy night on the 6th of February 2025!

Check out this astonishing line up:

Ian Whitcombe (MC)

Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Taskmaster and Britain’s Got Talent are just a few of the programmes Ian’ has never appeared on. The list is literally endless!

Groan-inducing puns, sparkling one-liners and stories about where doctors like to put their fingers mean that this act is a must-see.

Ian’s one-liners are well thought out, clever and genuinely laugh out loud’ – Oli Clarke, Toolmakers Comedy Club

Ian has a natural & likeable stage presence with good pacing and nice jokes’ – Greg Phillips – Laffa Cake Comedy

Ian Crawford (Headliner)

Ian Crawford is a Cutlery Safety Professional and General International Health & Safety Expert and what he has to share is deadly serious. You’d be forkin’ mad to miss him. Sketch Off Finalist (2023) and Leicester Comedy Fringe Silver Comedian of the Year (2023) second place runner-up.

“Funny from start to finish” ★★★★ (The Reviews Hub)

“Forking good health and safety-based comedy has tears rolling down cheeks” ★★★★ (TheWeeReview.com)

This is a must-see for anyone with a strong sense of the ridiculous” ★★★★ (SGFringe.com).

Al Stevenson (Opener)

Al Stevenson is the quick-witted, sharp-tongued lad of Newcastle! His charm allows him to tear through his material with rapid fire and a cheeky grin.

His talents have been described as “relentlessly hilarious” with a “magnetic aura” leading him to be regarded as one of the hottest talents in the UK comedy scene.

He’s been spotted as one to watch in the industry and has been the tour support of choice for a multitude of longer established, award-winning comics – taking him all over the country and having audiences rolling in the aisles laughing.

• “Al Stevenson combines the blunt double-entendres of Julian Clary with the bored, world-weariness of Jo Brand.” Chortle

•“Has funny bones with a magnetic aura.” Crissy Rock

• “Blisteringly confident and deliriously lurid crowd work.” NARC Magazine

• “Destined to be a stand up comic” Lost Voice Guy

Paul Grace (Middle)

Paul Grace is a funny man. Tall, good looking, with the eyes of a baby deer, he is the the thinking man’s Bob Monkhouse – but alive and darker. A great comedian and a naturally engaging guy and easy to warm to. Naturally funny and excellent material mixed with strong jokes.

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.
