If you fancy swapping the television for a proper night of live comedy, Daventry Town FC has a strong line-up coming to Browns Road this September.
The club is hosting a Comedy Evening on Thursday 17th September 2026, with the evening starting from 7pm.
The line-up includes Mike Gunn, Bob Mills, Karen Bayley and Adam Beardsmore, bringing together four very different comedy styles for one local night out.
Tickets are priced at £15 plus booking fee.
Event Details
Date: Thursday 17th September 2026
Start time: 7pm
Venue: Daventry Town FC
Location: Master Abrasives Stadium, Browns Road, Daventry, NN11 4NS
Tickets: £15 plus booking fee
The evening starts from 7pm, with current listings indicating that this is when doors open and the comedy itself is expected to begin later in the evening.
That gives you time to arrive, get settled and enjoy the atmosphere before the first act takes to the stage.
Who’s on the line-up?
There is a good mix of experience and styles on the bill.
Mike Gunn
Mike Gunn is a long-established name on the UK comedy circuit, known for his dry delivery and sharp observational humour.
He has appeared on Live at the Apollo and has supported well-known comedians including Jo Brand and Alan Davies.
His style is understated, clever and occasionally dark, so expect the sort of humour that can catch you slightly off guard.
Bob Mills
Bob Mills has been part of British comedy and broadcasting for more than three decades.
Many people will know him from television, radio and his long-running broadcasting career, while his live comedy mixes storytelling with quick wit and plenty of audience interaction.
He brings a very different energy to the line-up, helping to make the evening feel varied rather than repetitive.
Karen Bayley
Karen Bayley is an experienced comedian and compère who has performed at clubs around the country.
Her comedy is warm, sharp and relatable, with a strong reputation for crowd work and observational humour.
She was also the first female winner of the Komedia New Act Award and has supported Joe Lycett on tour.
Adam Beardsmore
Adam Beardsmore completes the line-up with a more understated, self-deprecating style.
A BBC New Comedy Award nominee and Leicester Square Theatre New Act finalist, his material covers modern life, relationships and the everyday situations most people will recognise.
A proper night out without leaving Daventry
Live comedy is one of those things that usually feels better in a smaller room.
You are closer to the performers, the audience becomes part of the atmosphere and every show feels slightly different depending on what happens in the room.
That is part of the appeal here.
Rather than travelling to Northampton, Birmingham or further afield, this is a chance to see a full comedy line-up right here in Daventry.
For £15 plus the booking fee, it could make a very good Thursday night out.
