Big laughs are on the way as The Crypt Comedy Club returns to Middlesbrough Town Hall on Saturday – and if you’ve been before, you’ll know this one doesn’t hold back.
Tucked away beneath the Town Hall, The Crypt is about as close as you can get to the action without stepping on stage yourself. It’s loud, lively, and just the right side of chaotic – exactly what a proper comedy night should feel like. The low ceilings, exposed brickwork and buzzing crowd all add to the atmosphere, creating a space where every joke lands that bit harder.
Headlining the night is Lauren Pattison, widely regarded as one of the sharpest voices on the UK comedy circuit. Expect brutally honest storytelling, quick-fire punchlines and material that hits close to home – in the best possible way.
Hosting duties fall to Dave Twentyman, a seasoned MC who knows exactly how to work a room. Quick-witted and unpredictable, he isn’t afraid to get stuck into the crowd – so be warned, sitting quietly at the back may not guarantee a quiet night.
A full supporting line-up brings a variety of comedic styles, from dry one-liners to off-the-cuff chaos, ensuring the energy never dips from start to finish.
Since the Town Hall’s revamp, The Crypt has earned a reputation as one of Middlesbrough’s top spots for live comedy, and nights like this show exactly why. No frills, no filters – just a proper evening of stand-up: up close, raw and full of laughs.
Tickets, priced at £13.50 in advance, are available at boxoffice.middlesbrough.gov.uk.
