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, Andrew White and all held together by host, MC Mr Mark Cram!
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.
Andrew White – Flamboyantly repressed and optimistically cynical, Andrew White is a stand-up fast rising through the comedy ranks with an act that’s “not to be missed” (Daily Record). His material on everything from life as a young gay man to mental health and petrol station crisps, Andrew White is a comedian fast rising up the ranks of the stand-up world. His charming on-stage persona and sharp writing ability have seen him take to some of the biggest comedy stages in the UK and internationally, as well as performing four solo hours the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
