The Best of the Beast Comedy Club

Fill your weekend with laughter at The Beast Comedy Club’s Saturday talent showcase. A line up of the best rising talent and a top headliner will make you laugh all night (or at least until 22:30). The Beast, Basel’s first ever dedicated comedy club, is proud to showcase how much fantastic comedy talent there is in Switzerland. Bring a friend, a date, family, even an enemy you want to reconnect with—and you will surely leave smiling.
This evening’s headline act, Jack Roberts has been performing since 2016 in the natural home of fun and laughter, Switzerland. He brings together musings, observations and justified complaints on life as an expat, a father, a teacher, a friend, an increasingly older gentleman, and yes…a lover. As the organizer of Zürich's first-ever English open mic, Roberts is an integral part of Switzerland’s English comedy scene. Whilst his manner is humble, down-to-earth and frequently exasperated, he is also capable of unleashing a torrent of filth (where appropriate).
Also on the program is Michael Pennock, who, like Tom Cruise, does all his own stunts. Unlike Tom Cruise, he does his own emotions as well: panic, confusion, joy, self-hatred, nostalgia, optimism and ennui (he doesn't really know what the last one is, but it sounds cool). He wants to share light-hearted observations about parenting and mid-life, but these often degenerate into confused ramblings about crustaceans, hobbits, and the fabric of space-time
Robby Toole is a short and stocky American comic living in Switzerland, raising kids and accidentally representing his entire country everywhere he goes. His comedy mixes culture clash, marriage, fatherhood, and the undeniable reality that you can take an American out of America…and that doesn't change much.
The show will be entirely in English and hosted by club comedian Alber Louw. Entry to the Beast Comedy Club is by Swiss law exclusively granted to members. Signing up is free and takes just seconds on the Beast Comedy Club website at https://thebeastcomedyclubbasel.clubdesk.com/.
Tickets are CHF 25 for adults (CHF 30 at the door), CHF 18 for students, or CHF 16 (early bird).
