Friday 27 February 2026
Alexander's Live, Chester
Doors 7:00PM
Chester's longest-running and only weekly comedy club returns with another three-act lineup, plus an extra spot for someone breaking onto the circuit.
Three experienced acts. Three completely different styles. Proper Friday night stand-up.

Sally Anne Hayward
"Fantastic. Really made me laugh and will go far." - Max Bygraves, OBE
Sally Anne Hayward blends sharp observation with a mischievous streak. An accomplished radio presenter with stage and TV credits including Absolutely Fabulous, she brings warmth, polish and a dark twist that catches you off guard. Smart, confident, and consistently funny.

Dave Longley
"Acid tongued and as sharp as a barrel full of tacks... As intense and intelligent a performer as you're likely to see." - The List
Writer for 8 Out of 10 Cats, Dave Longley delivers deadpan accounts of everyday life that are brutally honest and brilliantly constructed. Intelligent, edgy, and fearless without losing control of the room. A seasoned performer who knows exactly how far to push it.

Hatty Preston
Hatty has appeared in Call The Midwife and Cuckoo, and is best known for playing Princess Maribel in Lionsgate's The Royals.
Winner of the 2018 Court Jester Comedy 'Breakin' Thru' competition, Hatty brings sharp writing and confident stage presence. London-born and now Chicago-based, she mixes acting chops with punchline-led stand-up that hits hard and keeps moving.

Three strong headline-level acts. One intimate room. Big Friday energy. Book early - these nights regularly sell out.
 

Please note start time and line up subject to change. Seating is unreserved and offered on a first come first served basis.
