Laugh Out Proud is a brand new LGBTQIA comedy night featuring the best in established and upcoming acts from the community on the UK comedy circuit!
This is night is all about giving acts and audiences alike a fun and friendly place to express themselves, kick back, have a laugh and good time in an inclusive and welcoming comedy club environment.
Whether it’s comedy, cabaret or anything in between, Laugh Out Proud is the queer night out you’re looking for.
Laugh Out Proud in Banbury will feature the stand up delights of Kate Martin, Joe Sutherland and all held together by host, MC Mr Mark Cram!
Joe Sutherland is a comedian and Greggs brand ambassador. Stand-up, acting, writing, influencing, there is nothing he won’t think about doing and maybe even get around to. He performs all over the UK and internationally, sometimes on the internet and some times on the television (nature’s internet). Recent appearances include Dave’s Hypotheticaland the BBC’s Eastenders. Yes, really.
Some other things he did: Sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2019, top ten best reviewed shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2018, tour support for Ellie Taylor 2016-18, and UK tour support for stars of Rupaul’s Drag Race including Alyssa Edwards, Trixie Mattell, and Sasha Velour!
Kate Martin is ‘brilliantly funny & energetic’ (Angela Barnes), and her ‘confident delivery and slick material’ (Chortle) have quickly established her as one of the most exciting new acts on the circuit. At 6ft 1 and with the longest wingspan in comedy (*probably), Kate’s a naturally engaging, energetic performer with effortlessly tight gags to match. Her unique background in mental health has given her a fresh take on the world, a completely distinctive voice, and fuels her high-energy storytelling, whip-smart punchlines, and razor-sharp observations of life’s quirks through queer eyes.
Kate was a finalist of the Funny Women Stage Awards 2022, runner-up in the finals of the WDCF New Comedian of the Year competition 2021, and in 2021 won the Comedy Store’s King Gong, Up the Creek’s Blackout, and the Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog.
Mark Cram is quite the all-rounder; with both a killer set and strong MCing chops. For the last few years Mark has been plying his comedy trade across the UK. Constantly evolving,usually unpredictable; he is garnering positive reactions everywhere he goes. Mark thrills crowds with his tales of dead-end jobs, his family and being the less than grateful winner of Bedford Comedian of the Year.
