The Funny Side of Hammersmith

The Funny Side of Hammersmith is an upmarket yet friendly alternative to the usual London comedy experience. Exciting bills; mixing top UK acts with the very best of visiting international talent in a truly great atmosphere.

The venue is hosted at 'The Crabtree' an iconic Victorian pub situated on a fine stretch of the Thames riverbank between Hammersmith & Putney bridges.

This Saturday's show is an Edinburgh Festival Preview Special featuring full length shows from Lloyd Griffith and Andrew Lawrence


Andrew Lawrence - "Uncensored"

Subversive and intelligent comedy from a double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee who is about to record his fourth series for BBC Radio 4.

This is his 10th show in consecutive years at the Fringe – an hour of honest, fearless and uncompromising stand-up.

No joke is unacceptable. No subject off-limits. Absolutely no concessions made to political correctness. Stand-up without boundaries.

'Powerful, sad, angry, true stuff' (Scotsman).

'You owe it to yourself to see him' (Mirror).

'Dark comedy at its very best' (Edinburgh Evening News).


Lloyd Griffith - "Great Grimsby's Big Turn On"

Well here he is again with his second show, back to prove why he’s Great Grimsby’s most talented export. Expect jokes, singing, dancing and the usual flirting.

As seen on BBC3’s 'Sweat The Small Stuff' and BBC One’s 'Songs of Praise'. As heard on BBC Radio 1’s 'Comedy Live Lounge', Rob Beckett’s 'Absolute Radio' show (and also Rob’s tour support), and BBC Radio 3’s 'Choral Evensong'.

'Expect to hear more from Griffith' - (Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard).

'Griffith has clearly established his own style of comedy' (Three Weeks).

'Engaging and sexy, a lovely beardy face' (The Sunday Times).
