Funhouse Comedy Club – New Comedy Night in Blackfordby, Leics March 2026 at Blackfordby Village Hall

Funhouse Comedy Club, which already runs successful nights at numerous venues across the country, is excited to announce the launch of a brand new comedy night at Blackfordby Village Hall
on Friday March 20th.

Funhouse clubs are renowned for having exceptionally friendly audiences and a brilliant atmosphere, which have led to twice winning Best Midlands Comedy Club awards with leading comedy website Chortle. Previous acts to have played its clubs on their road to the top include Sarah Millican, Joe Lycett, James Acaster and Rhod Gilbert, who described the clubs as “among the best anywhere in the world.”

Topping the bill is the animated Sean Heydon, one of the country's premier comedy magicians, who has appeared on various TV shows, including Britain’s Got Talent where he got a unanimous 4 yesses from the judges and Channel 4's Paul O’Grady Show, as the resident illusionist. With his unique style, he captivates the crowds, often receiving standing ovations.

Opening the night will be the hilarious Jonny Awsum, who appeared on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent and cajoled Ant and Dec into joining his audition and has supported Jason Manford on his arena tour. Starting out as barman at The Chuckle Club for eight years he then decided to take to the stage. With his guitar and musical parodies he amuses his audiences charming them with his warm and friendly persona, his style of audience participation is second to none. He has presented for Sky Sports, been warm up act for Big Brother and Loose Women and also starred in several adverts including Cravendale, The Post Office, Experian and even Puntigamer beer in Austria.

Completing the line-up is the personable Wilson Milton with his amusing crowd interaction, mixture of sharp observations, funny anecdotes, pinpoint accents and curveball one liners.

Compere for the night will be Pete Teckman who has been crowned Silver Stand Up of the Year at Leicester Comedy festival, an award for comedians over 40 years of age, with his mix of self-deprecating and observational humour.
