Pat Smith – The Esplanade
Big changes are afoot! Ballyrags Comedy is excited to announce our brand-new home at The Royal Esplanade Hotel in Ryde. With a spacious, vibrant setting and a fresh atmosphere, this is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable night of laughter.
Headlining is Pat Smith – the Essex-born comic and former soldier who’s tearing up the UK circuit with his quick-fire wit, big laughs and relatable stories.
A winner of multiple comedy competitions and star of Ustreme TV’s Laughter Class, Pat brings energy, warmth and razor-sharp punchlines that make every gig unforgettable.
Hosting the evening is Luke Lamont, bringing his sharp wit, infectious energy, and a knack for keeping the crowd in stitches.
Each month, Luke will guide you through a hand-picked line-up of top comedians from the Isle of Wight and across the UK, delivering bold, unfiltered stand-up in a fun and intimate setting.
Expect a night packed with surprises, new voices, and the kind of comedy that will have you talking long after the show ends.
With a fresh line-up every month, no two Ballyrags nights will ever be the same – and this new venue sets the stage for bigger laughs, better vibes, and proper nights out with friends.
