The Royal Pug Comedy Club!
8pm. 18+ Thursday 27th November 2025
Our comedy club is back with a BANG this back November and we continue to bring you the best of the best from the UK comedy circuit in the very intimate setting of the Royal Pug.
This month’s comedy crackers are Kare McCabe, Joseph Emslie and Joey Page!
Do note line-up is subject to change
Joey Page has been hailed as the future of stand up and is storming the circuit with his trail blazing brand of ‘Indie Comedy’ that’s surreal and inventive. Joey’s enigmatic and charming presence brings about an instant rapport with his audiences. Every now and again you see a comedian like this who’s so wonderfully gifted he makes it all look effortless. The style and subject matter of his material is unlike that of any other out there, making him one of the most unique and memorable acts you will see. He’s also favourite of Noel Fielding (from The Mighty Boosh and Great British Bake Off) and as a result has supported him on tour
“Really Good, Proper Funny” Ronnie Wood
“Surreal, charming and hilarious, one of comedy’s most unique and exciting new talents. This innately likeable young man has an instinct for funny” Chortle
“A stylish comedian with a sonic imagination and a twinkle in his eye” Noel Fielding
Kate McCabe is an American comic who lives in the UK and gigs all over the country.
You can also catch her with ComedySportz Manchester and Murder Inc Improv.
When she is not working professionally as a comic, she also lends her voice to audio books and video games. You may have even been killed by her flamethrower-wielding baddie in Tom Clancy’s THE DIVISION 2.
‘Just a goddam delight’ Manchester Wire
‘Delivers strong material with aplomb’ Three Weeks
Joseph Emslie
His easy conversational manner, anecdotal, and self-deprecating, style of comedy has helped him secure him some early critical acclaim by taking the runner up place in the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2021, twinning this with his other final successes he really is “definitely a name to keep tabs on.” (Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke)
“Radiating comic innocence and making great play on his schoolboy looks” Chortle
