Performance NotesJoin some of comedy’s finest up and coming and established names on Friday nights in the Elgar Room. The Royal Albert Hall introduces a new series of Late Night Comedy in the Hall's historic Elgar room, featuring a collection of some of the finest up and coming and established names in comedy, each night will feature three of the best comics currently on the circuit.

Aisling Bea is an Irish actor, award winning stand-up, a writer and solid guest at a dinner party. She has appeared in numerous TV shows and films, pretending to be other people and also pretending to be herself. On December 2014, she won the British Comedy Award for Best Female TV Comedian. Her debut solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe, C’est La Bea sold out in three days and earned her a Foster’s Best Newcomer Award nomination.

Gareth Richards’ hilarious stand-up, silly jokes and gorgeously low-key comedy songs have made him an instant favourite on the comedy circuit. In 2010 he was nominated for Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer. Gareth has appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News, Live at the Electric (BBC3) and live on Radio 1. Gareth co-hosted Frank Skinner’s Sony award-winning Absolute Radio show for two years, supporting Frank on his 2014 tour

The evening will be hosted by Richard Herring, who has enjoyed phenomenal cult success as a writer and performer and is an innovator in the world of podcasts. Richard’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast sees him interview top comedians in front of a live audience and is then released online both as videos and podcasts for free.

Over 16s only.
