Discover Comedy At The Caxton, our longest running venue at Half A Camel Productions where your comedy can shine and connect with a vibrant audience; our intimate venue fosters an engaging atmosphere that enhances every act, making it the perfect choice for your next performance.

Our oldest nemesis/venue.

We ran shows here monthly for 6 years, 12 years ago under the name GOT HAM.

They wouldn't allow us to call it 'Batman Comedy at the Joker' as it would bring in the 'wrong clientel' Huh?

So the next month was GOT HAM Returns then GOT HAM vs SUPER HAM, we even added "A Non-Batman Based Comedy Night" After 6 years we decided they'd never realise we were taking the piss, so took our buiness elsewhere (The Caxton Arms)

Although under new management, which we can only describe as lovely and the opposite of our real nemesis, we’re still back and we've got unfished buinesss.

Oh yeah and the rooms sick.

PUCK Rock Comedy at first may come across as an elite anti-establishment venue soley for sober punks...

We have now decided we should state that the branding we have applied (although I’m sure you will agree is absolutely perfect for what is essentially a coffee shop), is satire.

You don’t HAVE to be Punks to perform here. Take us for example, we’re not Punks.

But what is Punk? If Punk Rock includes wannabe poets with a passion for good coffee and making tiny changes to this earth whilst we’re alive...

In that case then, yes. Then would be considered Punks.

Now correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t making the world a better place through the medium of occasionally bearable poetry what punks all about?

“No” said a Punk.
