Comedian Sarah Bennetto brings you a cozy night of amusing campfire stories told by special guest storytellers from the comedy and music world. Different from your typical stand-up show but no less entertaining, Storyteller's Club is true to it's name, making the audience feel like a member of a welcoming club.

Storyteller's Club has been running strong since Bennetto created the show in 2006 with a year-round residency at Pleasance Islington and appearing at UK music and arts festivals, the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and the Edinburgh Fringe.

This month's show  features:

Phil Nichol (multi-talented, Perrier-winning Canadian stand-up and actor)
Phil Kay (cult comedy hero, free-wheeling force of nature)
Jamie Kilstein (political, passionate; a cool dude from NYC – a rare UK appearance!)
James Dowdeswell (stand-up and writer, as seen on Russell Howard's Good News and Extras)
with host and narrator,
Sarah Bennetto (stand-up comic, storyteller, and presenter of late-night radio show, Mix-Tape)

Gather around the digital fireplace and by the end of the night you will soon see why Bennetto introduces herself as 'your new best friend.'

If you can't make it to Febuary's show you can hear Sarah Bennetto on her radio show Mix-Tape every Thursday from midnight to 2am on NTS Radio

'A magical idea.'
The Metro

'A chance to see some very fine comics and musicians…Think Jackanory, but without the books or Bernard Cribbins. In fact, don’t think Jackanory at all – just go and see it.'

Storyteller's Club is at King's Place, London on Thursday, 21st February at 8pm
