Have you ever had one of those days where everything feels a bit much? Then someone says something funny and suddenly things don't seem quite so bad. That's one of the reasons we love comedy at Quarterhouse.
Laughter brings people together. It helps us relax, forget our worries for a while and enjoy the moment. Research has even shown that laughter can be good for your health, helping to reduce stress and support heart health. That's pretty impressive for something that feels so simple.
We believe everyone deserves a chance to switch off, have fun and share a laugh with friends. That's why comedy has become such an important part of our programme.
Bringing The Best Comedy To Folkestone
For the past few years, we've been working with Chump's Comedy to bring some of the funniest comedians in the country to Quarterhouse.
Since launching in 2023, Chump's Comedy has built a fantastic reputation as one of the UK's most exciting new comedy producers. They are known for bringing together a brilliant mix of big names and rising stars, creating unforgettable nights that regularly sell out.
From their home in Margate to venues and festivals across the South East, Chump's champions the very best comedy talent. Their work includes producing comedy nights, touring shows, workshops, festival line-ups and filmed comedy specials. Whether they're working with award-winning comedians or helping new talent find an audience, they're passionate about creating great comedy experiences.
We're proud to work with a team that shares our belief that live comedy should be exciting, welcoming and accessible to everyone.
