Live comedy returns to Taunton as Queen’s Comedy Club welcomes another brilliant night of stand up to Queen’s Hall Theatre.
Following a series of sold out shows, audiences have described the nights as “a great night out”, with a “really good atmosphere”, “fantastic acts” and a venue that makes the whole evening feel relaxed from the moment you arrive.
Staged in our 500 seat theatre, the evening brings the atmosphere and quality of a national comedy tour right to the heart of Taunton. With drinks available throughout, two interval breaks and plenty of time to relax, it is the perfect night out with friends, family or colleagues.
Headlining the evening is Geoff Norcott, one of the UK’s best known comedians. A regular on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week and The Last Leg, Geoff has built a reputation for his sharp observations, quick wit and brilliantly crafted stand up, making him one of the country’s most in demand live performers.
Opening the show is West Country favourite James Dowdeswell. As seen on Russell Howard’s Good News, Ricky Gervais’ Extras and Sky Sports, James combines imaginative storytelling with a laid back style that has delighted audiences across the UK. As Russell Howard says, “I have known James for 20 years and his pub stories are the stuff of legend.”
Joining the line up is Keefy Jewell, whose energetic, engaging comedy and effortless audience rapport make him a perfect addition to the evening, while award winning MC Dani Johns keeps the night flowing with warmth, wit and brilliant audience interaction.
Whether you are a regular comedy fan or simply looking for a great night out in Taunton, this promises another unforgettable evening of live entertainment just minutes from the town centre.

In February, Taunton welcomes one of the UK’s most prolific joke writers as Gary Delaney brings his brand new tour show Gary On Laughing to Queen’s Hall.
Gary’s last UK tour ran for two and a half years across 378 dates, with audiences packing out theatres night after night. His online clips have amassed hundreds of millions of views, and now he’s back on the road with an entirely new show, all new jokes and, as ever, utterly splendid filth.
Staged in the 500 seat Queen’s Hall, the evening offers the scale and atmosphere of a major national tour stop, right here in Taunton. Expect two fast paced halves packed with razor sharp one liners, expertly engineered puns and the kind of relentless joke density that has earned Gary a reputation as one of Britain’s grandmasters of stand up.
