Diane Spencer – The Esplanade
Ballyrags Comedy Club returns to Ryde for our first headline show of the year, bringing a fresh season of live stand-up to the hotel’s striking function suite — a room built for atmosphere, good drinks, and a crowd ready for a night that lands properly.
Headlining is Diane Spencer — one of the most exciting stand-ups working the UK comedy circuit. Known for her brilliantly sharp observations and deceptively effortless delivery, Diane turns the everyday into something hilarious, clever, and instantly familiar. Her humour feels spontaneous, real, and surgically on-beat, earning her a growing reputation as a comic audiences genuinely rave about.
Expect a headline set packed with wit, warmth, and perfectly timed surprises. Diane will be supported a hand-selected bill of standout stand-ups from the Isle of Wight and across the UK.
Your host for the evening is Luke Lamont, steering the night with quick wit, natural energy, and an instinct for the room that keeps every show feeling electric and alive. Luke’s hosting has become a defining part of Ballyrags nights in Ryde — playful, sharp, and effortlessly crowd-connected.
