Comedy that lands after the plates are cleared

After-dinner is its own discipline. The room is fed, relaxed on wine, tired from speeches, and waiting to be told they can finally switch off. A comedian who can't read that shift in energy will lose the room in the first thirty seconds. Every act we put forward for after-dinner slots has done exactly this format before, ties naturally into toasts, awards or a compere handover, and keeps it clean enough for the top table and the guest on table twelve alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is after-dinner comedy, exactly?

A short, self-contained comedy set performed after the meal and speeches, typically 20-40 minutes, designed to send the room home laughing rather than checking their watch.

Can the comedian follow our awards or speeches without it feeling disjointed?

Yes. Every act we put forward for after-dinner slots is used to working around a running order, toasts and a compere handover, so the comedy flows naturally out of the formal part of the evening.

Will the material be appropriate for a mixed, formal audience?

Yes. Every act on our books works clean as standard, so the material is safe for the top table, the client sitting beside them, and everyone at the tables behind.
