Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits! Almost 20 years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, even producing a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and hosting our own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world.
The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob.
Adults to sit with children in their party (and help explain anything they get stuck on).
Group bookings to contain at least one adult for every three kids.

Upcoming line up
Ada Campe
As the alter-ego to comedian and researcher Naomi Paxton, Ada Campe is the reigning winner of both the New Act of the Year at the NATYS, and the Leicester Square Theatre Old Comedian of the Year. Her performances are true variety at its best, rife with the absurd and the outlandish, mystery, magic, intrigue, and unabashed pure comedy.
‘A real original and with irrepressible funny bones… brilliantly crowd-pleasing act’ Chortle
Otiz Cannelloni
Otiz Cannelloni combines magic and the logic of stand-up to produce a hybrid comic creation. With a mind more suited to testing crash helmets, his performance fluctuates between sheer genius and downright stupidity.
‘Master of Mirth and Minimalist Magic… Delightful’ Time Out
Bobble the Christmas Elf
Bobble the Christmas Elf is an improvisatory storyteller who delights in turning audience suggestions into tinselled tales of festive fun. A graduate from the Lapland Laughter Academy (not to mention Snowball Thrower of The Year 2013) Bobble’s cute yet unhinged style of musical mischief and yuletide punchlines has seen him jingle all the way to festivals far and wide.
