Join us for a raucous evening of laughter at our Comedy Night with some great comedians live at Exeter Golf and Country Club with a delicious three-course dinner to start. Our Comedy Night is not to be missed!
With two fantastic comedians on the bill, this year should be even better than last year's sold out event. Our warm up act for this year is the outrageous, clever and unique, Arnold Gutbucket.

Exeter-based Liz Joslin is the winner of local agency Nomadic Travel’s annual Travel Photo Competition with this wonderful close-up picture of a gelada monkey.
Liz took this photograph whilst travelling with her husband Lee in the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia.

Ablutions by the award-winning FellSwoop visits The Bike Shed Theatre from 24th to 28th February following its sell-out run at Edinburgh Festival 2014.
