Jack Skipper now headlines the show – currently hot property on the comedy scene, Jack has shot to stardom after massive success on social media over the last few years with millions of fans and has since appeared on Live At The Apollo and ITV’s Stand Up Sketch Show, sold out a UK-wide tour and supported Russell Kane and Michael McIntyre on tour, too!
*Whilst Stitches Comedy Club features some amazing comedians on their line ups, sometimes their other commitments mean they have to pull out with little notice. Due to this, we ask you to keep in mind that the line up can vary on the night and refunds will not be given for line up changes.
