The Stroke Stand-up Comedy Club – Lichfield – First Thursday of Every Month

Shows start at 8:15pm – but arrive no later than 7:45pm or else you may end up standing-up too, or worse still – standing out in the rain without a ticket.  Each show is hosted by an MC, and features 3 or 4  stand-up comedians including the MC, unless it is a double headliner. 

We bring up some of the best live standup comedy acts from the London circuit for your evening’s entertainment – so get your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Rhod Gilbert performing at the Stroke Club in November 2011:

On 10th Nov 2011 Lichfield welcomed one of the UK’s leading comedians for an exclusive preview of his forthcoming national tour. Award winning welsh comic Rhod Gilbert played a handful of small intimate warm up gigs across the country, and he chose to perform at The Stroke Comedy Club due to its outstanding reputation as one of the best independent clubs on the UK comedy circuit. Gilbert has previously sold out the O2, playing to an audience of 20,000 people, and is a regular on television programmes such as Have I Got News For You, 8 out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks as well as his own series Ask Rhod Gilbert, so it was a unique opportunity to see the star up close and personal. The Stroke Club added an extra date especially for Gilbert, and is used to hosting established and up and coming comedians who always perform to sell out crowds. When tickets for Gilbert’s show went on sale – all records were smashed – selling out in just 3 minutes. Ken.
