A bi-monthly night of improvised comedy courtesy of Leeds’ very own award-winning improvised sketch group, The Discount Comedy Checkout. All the characters, scenarios, and situations are created using your suggestions.

Each show features a hand-picked guest performer from the UK comedy circuit. This could be another quality improv group, a sketch act, character performer, musical comedian, or a good old-fashioned stand up.

The Discount Comedy Checkout have been entertaining comedy club and festival goers throughout the UK for over 12. Featuring Chris Lumb (BBC: Russell Howards Good News), Eddie French, Natalie Smeaton (ITV: Britain’s Got Talent), and Phil Allan-Smith (BBC: This is MY House).

“The comedy is creative and crude, quick and quirky, the performers commit completely to the games and create funny & fantastic characters at a moment’s notice.” ★★★★★ – Remotegoat

“There’s a wonderful slapstick nature to it all but they are all impressively literate in film culture and genres too, creating brilliant, quick draw pastiches of popular cinema that will have you in stitches.” ★★★★ – Manchester’s Finest

“Total fun and instantly engaging.” ★★★★★ – WHODARESGRINS.COM
