Harrogate brewery hosts UK's high profile comedians
A Harrogate brewery has become a hotspot to see some of the UK’s most high profile comedians.
Rooster’s Brewing Co, which is based at Hornbeam Park, has played host to the likes of Jon Richardson, Matt Forde and Maisie Adams in the last 12 months.
This past week, Lucy Beaumont, who is known for her appearances on Taskmaster and Meet The Richardsons, played an intimate performance in the brewery’s taproom ahead of her nationwide tour.
Much of the draw comes down to the monthly comedy night held on the last Thursday of every month, called Really Funny Comedy.
Britain’s Got Talent finalist, Micky P Kerr, works closely with the brewery to organise the event, which has seen the likes of Josh Pugh, Kiri Pritchard-Mclean and social media star Troy Hawke perform.
Tom Fozard, commercial director at Rooster’s, used to host comedy gigs while at university.
