Raw Comedy, Hot Food – The Wheatsheaf

December 4 @ 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Wheatsheaf Slider Dec

Ballyrags Comedy returns to The Wheatsheaf for another night of raw, unfiltered stand-up and sizzling hot food in the heart of Newport. After a run of sell-out shows, Ballyrags brings its trademark energy, atmosphere and hand-picked line-ups back to one of its favourite Island venues. Expect sharp punchlines, unpredictable moments, and the kind of laughter that fills the whole pub.

£12.50

Headlining this month’s show is the brilliantly funny Jake Steers. “You can’t help but be in a good mood when you watch Jake on stage. Likeable, natural and very funny,” says Big Deal Comedy. A firm favourite on the UK circuit and a regular at The Stand-Up Club, Jake’s relaxed, conversational style and quick wit make him one of the most engaging comics around – a rising star you’ll be glad you saw here first.

Supporting Jake is a stellar line-up featuring Ryan Murphy, whose razor-sharp delivery and fearless jokes hit hard; Tove Falk, bringing her unique blend of quirky humour and offbeat charm; Nicky Vidler, full of energy, honesty and heart; and the inimitable Baron Fortitude, delivering surreal wordplay and lyrical laughs. Hosting the night is Toby Brown, Ballyrags co-founder and resident MC, known for his quick crowd work and big laugh energy.

🍔 Food & Tickets
When booking, simply add a food option to your ticket for the full experience. Choose from burgers and chips (beef, chicken, or vegetarian) or meat/vegetarian pizzas, plus a drink of your choice — all freshly served from 6:30pm to 7:25pm, before the laughter kicks off at 7:30pm sharp. We’ll be in touch to confirm your order.

🎟️ Expect great food, top comedy, and that unmistakable Ballyrags buzz.
Raw Comedy. Hot Food. Proper Night Out.
