For 23 years, Crack Comedy has ran a stand-up competition for new and aspiring comics at the Grey Horse Pub in Kingston.
Known across London for the quality of its comedy acts, on Sunday nights, Crack Comedy opens up the stage for anyone to deliver a short set to an intimate audience.
The winner of the competition is allowed to return and headline a full, paid spot on the next Sunday.
Crack Comedy at the Grey Horse is one of only two comedy clubs in Kingston, yet according to those who run the competition, the comedy scene is thriving in Kingston.
Erich McElroy, who has ran Crack Comedy in Kingston since 2008 said: “Our home base is Kingston, but we’ve run nights all over London.”
