Frog and Bucket Comedy Club

About:

“The Frog and Bucket comedy club sits on the far edge of the Northern Quarter in Manchester city centre. It was one of the first venues to open in the now creatively bustling district. Back in the nineties when Oasis were hanging out in Dry Bar around the corner, comedians who are now household names were honing their art at the only dedicated comedy club in the city at the time.

The club is open at least four days every week. Friday and Saturday nights are the fun-packed end of the week shows. Then, there’s Thursdays for a more sedate, connoisseur led show. Mondays is the amateur night where they compete to stay on stage for 5 minutes without getting ‘croaked off.’ Plus, many special nights every month including solo tour shows and charity nights.

The club always prides itself on supporting northern acts. Comperes are invariably northerners and the club always employs northern comedians alongside many guest acts. It sits perfectly alongside the London based, Comedy Store, the only other dedicated comedy venue in Manchester.

The Frog continues to provide a place to nurture new talent, for Manchester to check out the stars of tomorrow. Who, although not household names, are at the grass roots of truly exciting live stand up.” – www.frogandbucket.com
