THE SHOW
Stand Up & Slam! is the very first show we produced in-house back in 2013 with a one-off show at The Gallery Cafe in Bethnal Green. Since then it's gone on to have residencies at Hackney Attic, The Comedy Cafe, Komedia Brighton and Camden Comedy Club as well as performing at festivals across the UK. The brain child of Chatback Comedy promoter Lucy Danser and poet Dan Simpson it fuses stand-up comedy and poetry in a unique and entertaining way, smashing pre-conceptions by way of an interactive battle every show!
