Junior Booker – The Esplanade

Headlining is Junior Booker – one of London’s fastest-rising stand-ups, known for his razor-sharp observations and effortless charisma. A South London native, Junior has been featured on Mo Gilligan’s Lateish Show (Channel 4) and performs regularly at top clubs including Top Secret and Backyard Comedy.

With his quick-fire delivery and fearless takes on modern life, he’s rapidly becoming one of the most exciting names on the UK comedy scene.

Supporting Junior is the brilliant Joe Fortis, with more acts to be announced soon — and you can be sure it’s another stacked Ballyrags line-up of fresh talent and seasoned pros.

Hosting the evening is Luke Lamont, bringing his trademark wit, energy, and crowd connection to keep the night flowing and the audience buzzing. Each month, Luke introduces a hand-picked selection of comedians from the Isle of Wight and beyond, delivering unfiltered, unforgettable stand-up in a fun, intimate setting.

Expect a night full of surprises, new voices, and big laughs that’ll stay with you long after the show ends. With a fresh line-up every month, no two Ballyrags nights are ever the same.
