Caitlin Cook: The Hero We (Sort Of) Need

Best known for her hit bathroom graffiti musical The Writing on the Stall, Caitlin Cook returns with The Hero We (Sort Of) Need— a brand-new comedy hour jam-packed with new songs, hilarious stories, and projected visuals. Built around her childhood theory that everyone has a superpower, the show asks what happens when, in a world of eight billion people, your special gift turns out to be comically specific. @thecaitlincook

With support from A.J. Holmes

A.J. Holmes’ career has taken him all over the world! He is best known for playing Elder Cunningham in The Book of Mormon in the Broadway, Chicago, 1st US National Tour, West End, and Australian companies. A founding member of Team StarKid, AJ co-wrote the music and lyrics of A Very Potter Musical with Darren Criss and composed the widely popular Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier. His solo one-man musical Yeah, But Not Right Now has sold out the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019, the Adelaide Fringe in 2020, and the Soho Playhouse in 2021. @a.j.holmes

Great night out! Mild emotional damage included, would absolutely risk sitting in the front row again.

Komedia isn’t just a comedy club. It’s the sound of people forgetting everything else for a while and that’s worth showing up for.

Guaranteed good evening out. Easy to find, good selection of food and drinks, great atmosphere.

Refreshing, thought-provoking and always very funny.

It has that reputation of being one of those go-to spots where you’re pretty much guaranteed a fun evening, even if you don’t recognise the comedians on the line-up.

An evening of fun and laughs to share with my family and friends time and time again.

Remembering some great nights with some of my favourite comedians for nearly 30 years!

Mixture of new & more established comedians in a great location, well organised and a fair price.

A lively room full of big laughs, quick wit, and the kind of night out where you forget to check your phone.

Big laughs, buzzing crowds, and a fun night out with a quirky, local vibe.
