The Sunday Assembly London team is a little bit nervous. We’ve decided to do something exceptionally fun and we want you to be part of it, but it’s really quite radical. Brace yourselves…

Sunday Assembly is planning a get-together that’s not on a Sunday… and isn’t an Assembly. We know. What’s got into us? Are we doing this for a laugh?

That’s exactly why we’re doing it. Though there is a serious reason too. Allow us to explain.

Ever since Sunday Assembly was founded – by two comedians – our three tenets have included Live Better and Wonder More. (We’ll get to the other tenet later.) Comedy nights are great for both: the uplift of shared laughter and the marvel of well-crafted comedy. And what’s better than two comedians?

Four comedians! Ready to entertain you on 10th April.

Our host is James Ross, whose Quantum Leopard comedy nights have won awards for showcasing stand-up that doesn’t punch down. He’s put together a fabulous line-up for us:

• Mark Thomas: Mark’s been performing comedy on stage and screen for over 35 years. He mixes theatre, journalism and the odd bout of performance art
• Ben Pope: From Cambridge Footlights to Edinburgh Fringe to London clubs, Ben’s been called ‘one of the best storytellers in comedy’
• Jamie Mykaela: A comedy-cabaret artist who’s been described as ‘bawdy, brassy, vulnerable and intense’, with performances fuelled by 12 years of opera training
• Alex Franklin: Acclaimed in 2024 for being ‘winningly weird’, Alex’s performances have blended musical comedy, science and the joy of being trans

How much will it cost you to take in all that incredible talent? Just £15, or £10 if you’re on a low income or precariously employed. We must be having a laugh. (Did we already say that?)

Here are the details for this non-Sunday spectacular:

Thursday 10th April from 7:30pm to 10pm (doors open at 7:30pm; show starts at 8pm)
COLAB Theatre, 22 Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HB

You may be wondering what happens to your ticket fee. None of it goes to our host, thanks to his amazing generosity; the performers don’t want a cut either. Every penny will go to Sunday Assembly London, at a time when we really need it to ensure we have a future. So while you’re laughing to keep our lights on, you’ll be upholding our other tenet: Help Often. And we’ll be so grateful to you.
