HELLO AND WELCOME TO OUR BUMPER 10TH ANNIVERSARY / WINTER 2018 PROGRAMME! It’s hard to believe we’ve been in this beautiful city for a decade, but on the 13th of November 2018, Komedia Bath will be turning 10! Since opening in 2008, we’ve seen some of the biggest and best comedy and music stars pass through our doors, and we’ve met nearly 1 million of you lovely customers! To celebrate, we’ve got a jam-packed programme of events and we’ve teamed up with The Bath Brew House to develop a special birthday beer! Keep your eyes peeled for ‘Punchline’, our very own IPA, made with Jester Hops, which will be available on tap here & at the Brew House while stocks last! Apparently, Christmas is also on its way and we’ve got plenty of treats under the Komedia tree! For the good girls and boys we’ve got a whole series of our famous Krater Comedy Club Christmas Specials & for those slightly more prone to naughtiness, there’s the festive & frisky Ministry of Burlesque Christmas Cabaret! There are plenty of other one-off festive events to choose from too, not to mention our legendary New Year’s Eve Party with Club Motorcity. So dive in, discover what this season has in store at Komedia, and we hope to see you soon! The Komedia Team x
