Clinton Baptiste and support

Booked purely for Alex (Clinton Baptiste) but was pleasantly surprised with the support acts. Brian Damage & Krysstal were superb. What an absolute joyful night of comedy.

Wymondham - August 2nd 2025

I watch a lot of live stand up comedy. In fact, Gary was the 47th comedian I've seen this year (I'm sad, I keep a list and a scrapbook ). Often, with a mixed line up, I often expect one (sets a delicate tone here) 'weaker' comedian. Which, of course, is a matter of taste. However, the line up at your show was superb. I had seen David, Phil and Gary before, but the set felt fresh to me. I really enjoyed Carey. The subtle start and 'off the wall' material building to a crescendo was 'right up my street' - actually, literally in this case. Annoyingly, I'm away for the next sure (shame as Marcel Lucont is one of my favourites). My usual venue is the Norwich Playhouse (147 visits in the last ten years - did I mention that I'm sad and keep a list). I used to go to the Red Card club at Carrow Road, but didn't really like the 'landscape' layout and the often, very chatty, work outings (you know 'Dave' from accounts who's actually funnier than most of the comedians; I accept I'm a bit of a comedy snob.). To get an insight of this 'type' of customer - my favourites are Paul Foot (I've been to several of his 'secret' shows) and Terry Alderton (Terry often does local gigs - parents live this way I believe). I often go to London (Comedy Store, Up The Creek, Secret Comedy Club etc.). I appreciate that most of the audience are not necessarily comedy geeks, but I thought there was a great vibe to the show and enjoyment for the (non-mainstream) comedians. I am 58, retired and occasionally wear hats. Hope this is useful!

Mock The Week star and national touring powerhouse

" The Shaft of Wit comedy gigs are miles and miles away from where I live and frankly a pain in the arse to drive to. So why do I play them so regularly? Because they're great gigs with fantastic crowds and worth every mile."

Legendary pioneer of alternative comedy 

Comedian Arthur Smith on Stage with Shaft of wit banner and red curtain with a quote praising Shaft Of Wit Comedy

“I've done several gigs with Shaft of Wit; they were great – well organised, at brilliant venues (2 of them in magical Norfolk villages) with big crowds that I laughed a lot. Bravo to Kai & his team.”
