About Octagon Comedy Club
The Octagon Comedy Club is back! This time bigger and better than before in our main house theatre!
Join us for a night of laughs with some of the top names in stand up.

BARBARA NICE
Created by award-winning comedian and theatre director Janice Connolly, Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist, Barbara Nice is the overenthusiastic housewife alter-ego of Birmingham-based performer Janice, who previously appeared in Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights, and is well known on the circuit for her lively, upbeat presence.
She's the Stockport housewife, cleaner to the stars and keen ‘Take a Break’ reader, who has been delighting live comedy audiences for 25 years with her unbridled enthusiasm. She gave up the domestic bliss of tupperware and Pound Stretcher shops for the unpredictability of the comedy world, but no audience is too rowdy for her to handle.
Brilliant life-affirming comedy

A warm and wonderful act, an enthusiastic, livewire force of nature
- Chortle

HARRY STACHINI
A masterful storyteller with one of the most amiable and easy-going stage presences on the comedy circuit today. Now a regular at the circuit’s top clubs and venues, Harry performed his debut Fringe show to sell-out audiences in 2019. Since then Harry has gone on to perform to sell-out audiences in his now home town of Manchester and overseas in Asia and Europe.
A must-see act… compelling, inventive storytelling

Belly-achingly funny

ALUN COCHRANE
Alun Cochrane is a no-nonsense comedian who specialises in funny nonsense. Much of his comedy begins simply as something he's seen, heard or felt in his own life, or in the street, or the kitchen, or anywhere and from that it blossoms into a highly amusing anecdote or a strange flight of fancy.
