Comedy Loft
Crotchets Music Bar, 4 Endless Street, Salisbury,
Every Tuesday is a Talent night with open-mic for local (ish) people to audition, practice new material etc. and is run in a relaxed `workshop` style.
Every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday are full-on performance nights for Stand-Up Comedy. Each of these have open-mic opportunities but to access them a potential comic currently needs to contact Geoff Whiting.
There are also private functions on other nights of the week booked through Geoff, so there will be support spots available for "one-offs".
