Big Deal Thursday - The Big Gong Show

The Big Gong ShowHosted by Big Deal Comedy

Step right up for the wildest comedy competition in town.

Comedians take to the stage armed with anything that might get a laugh—one-liners, stories, characters, or complete chaos. But there’s a catch: if they don’t win over the audience, they risk being cut off mid-set by the dreaded gong.

Think live stand-up meets talent show… with no safety net.

Only the funniest—and bravest—will survive long enough to make it to the end and compete for the £100 top prize. 

Everyone else? Gonged off in glorious fashion.

Expect big laughs, brutal knockouts, and completely unpredictable moments.

Who will smash it? Who will crash out?

Find out at The Big Gong Show—where anything can happen, and usually does.
