Ballyrags Comedy is back at The Royal Esplanade Hotel in Ryde — the Island’s newest home for big laughs and bold stand-up. Set in the hotel’s stunning function suite, it’s the perfect backdrop for a night of comedy, drinks, and scurrilous language.
Headlining is Junior Booker – one of London’s fastest-rising stand-ups, known for his razor-sharp observations and effortless charisma.
Headlining is Nathan Eagle — an engaging, high-energy storyteller who can win over any crowd. Drawing on growing up working class, life as a care home nurse, and the odd unexpectedly gymnastic party trick, Nathan’s comedy is personal, vivid, and packed with big laughs.
Ballyrags again returns to Ryde for our February headline show, landing at The Royal Esplanade Hotel on a special one-off date — Thursday 26th February (note: due to hotel events, this replaces our usual third Thursday slot).
Ballyrags Comedy returns to the Esplanade Hotel on Thursday 19th March 2026, bringing another headline stand-up night to Ryde’s most striking comedy room. With a lively crowd, strong drinks, and an atmosphere built for big laughs, this is Ballyrags exactly where it belongs.
