After DarkWeekend comedy under the Raven Hotel, West EndDoors 9.00PM, Show time 9.30PMHosted by Dusty RichFor people who think comedy got too polite.The Gala closer brings his sharp, chaotic energy to the cellar for a late-night descent into comedy that doesn't pull punches. This isn't a show for the easily offended, it is specifically curated for those who prefer their laughs with a devilish edge and a total absence of politeness. On this night, the cellar transforms into a playground for the wicked, where the humour is dark, the wit is dry, and the atmosphere is thick with mischief.The room is built for this. Sixty seats beneath The Raven Hotel where the heat stays underground and the band plays like they’re trying to drown out a confession. Expect high-energy chaos and a night that feels alive rather than over-produced. It’s the kind of show that leaves you wondering where the line was, long after we’ve crossed it.“The show just got funnier and funnier until I almost could not breathe. I was laughing so hard. Great little venue. You won’t be sorry for dropping in here.” – SarahLate Show. Live Band.
