Jake Steers

Raw comedy, hot food, proper night out. After a run of top shows, Ballyrags brought its trademark energy back to one of its favourite Island rooms — The Wheatsheaf in the heart of Newport — for sharp punchlines, unpredictable moments, and the kind of laughter that fills the whole pub.

Headlining was 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" (Big Deal Comedy). A firm UK-circuit favourite and a regular at The Stand-Up Club, his relaxed, conversational style makes him one of the most engaging comics around — a rising star you were glad you saw here first.

Hosted by Ballyrags co-founder and resident MC Toby Brown, with stacked burgers, pizzas and that unmistakable buzz. Proper Ballyrags.

Also on the bill: Ryan Murphy · Tove Falk · Nicky Vidler · Baron Fortitude
