Comedy stars to appear at live event tonight in Chorlton - here's the details
Chorlton’s much-loved bar and restaurant, The Garden (formerly The Font), is bringing laughter back to Manchester’s south side with the launch of a brand-new series of monthly comedy nights.
The first event kicks off on Monday 17th November, featuring a stellar line-up of top comedy talent, namely Daliso Chaponda, Shazia Mirza, and MC Dave Williams




Daliso Chaponda rose to fame after reaching the finals of Britain’s Got Talent, charming millions with his often near-the-knuckle storytelling, sharp punchlines, and infectious personality. Since then, he has toured internationally, appeared on Have I Got News for You, QI, The Royal Variety Performance, and The News Quiz. He also created his own BBC Radio 4 show, Citizen of Nowhere.
Shazia Mirza is one of the UK’s most distinctive and fearless comedians. Known for her razor-sharp wit and intelligent humour, she’s appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show, Have I Got News For You, and Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls. Her thought-provoking and hilarious take on identity, culture, and life’s absurdities has made her one of Britain’s most respected stand-ups.
Dave Williams takes the reins as MC for this first comedy night at The Garden. A seasoned comedian and compère, Dave is a regular at the UK’s top comedy clubs and festivals. With over two decades of experience, his observational humour and relaxed stage presence have made him a favourite with audiences across the country. Expect plenty of laughs between acts with his trademark warmth and quick-fire humour.
The launch of the new comedy night marks the start of an exciting new chapter for The Garden. Having recently re-opened as a family-run bar and restaurant, the venue has been given a fresh new makeover making it a more inviting and comfortable setting for great food, drinks, and entertainment in the heart of Chorlton.
Jess Anderson, manager of The Garden said: “We want The Garden to be a place where everyone can feel welcome. We’re really excited to be bringing live comedy to Chorlton ~ it's a great way to celebrate our community and create a space where people can come together, have fun, and enjoy a great night out."
The Garden’s warm and welcoming atmosphere, wide selection of drinks, and delicious food make it the perfect place to unwind, laugh, and enjoy an evening of top-class stand-up comedy close to home.
The show runs from 7.00pm to 10.30pm (last entry 7.45pm), and tickets are just £10 and available here. The event is for over 18s only.
