The Playground Theatre presents...
Early Doors Comedy Night
29th January 2026
Johnny Pelham - Comedian
Katie Norris - Comedian
Early Doors Comedy Night proudly presents a double-bill of top-tier stand-up to kick off your evening with laughs before your dinner has even finished cooling!
Jonny Pelham, known for transforming life’s awkward truths into uproarious storytelling. Jonny’s razor-sharp wit and candid stage presence have earned him appearances on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled and Russell Howard’s Stand-Up Central, as well as critically lauded solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including the award-winning Off Limits. Beyond stand-up, Jonny’s talents stretch into writing and acting, with credits on Late Bloomer (Sky Comedy), Brad Boyz (E4), and script consultancy on BAFTA winning sitcom Alma’s Not Normal, proving he’s just as quick with a punchline off stage as on it.
Katie Norris, an award-winning stand-up, singer, actress and one-half of cult comedy duo Norris & Parker. Katie shot to wider prominence by winning the Musical Comedy Awards 2023 and her solo work has since garnered praise for its wildly imaginative blend of sharp comedy, brilliant character work and delightful musicality. Audiences have flocked to her shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and beyond, with sell-out runs at the Soho Theatre and nominations for top comedy awards under her belt. As well as lighting up comedy stages, Katie’s voice and characters have featured on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, Newsjack and DMs Are Open, showcasing her range from laugh-out-loud singer-song antics to richly theatrical storytelling.
Whether you’re an early bird who likes your humour with a side of chips or someone who believes the best jokes happen before dessert, Early Doors Comedy Night has you covered.
