Here is the format for our weekly show: We open with an awesome Guest MC host, new material from a Pro Act, some short middle spots and a Headliner Pro Comedian doing a 20-25 minute set including some new material, seperated by a couple of breaks, but all over by 10.30pm, perfect for a school night. The setting is the Finsbury's lovely live room, so you can also enjoy cocktails, craft beers and handmade pizzas.

Opening the show is HENRY PAKER -

Henry started stand-up January 2006, and in 2008, he won the prestigious Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year title and came second in the Laughing Horse new act competition. This would be Henry's first trip to Bear Funny Comedy and we are excited to hear some new material from this pro comic.

"Henry Paker delivers a mightily impressive set that is rarely less than superb… The man will be a star." Chortle
Our Closer for the show is ELEANOR TIERNAN,an act, with a familar surname to comedy fans, who was frankly superb at our 100th show back in October 2015.

Eleanor become a stand-up in 2004 – and within her first year appeared on RTE's The Liffey Laughs and BBC's One Night Stand. By 2007, she starred in the Edinburgh Fringe play Help! and made her solo show debut the following year. She then played to more than 120,000 people as the support act for her cousin, Tommy Tiernan, on his Bovinity tour.
