Ha Ha Comedy has been involved in the production &  promotion of Live Stand Up Comedy since 1998. We have discovered and helped to nurture the career of many of Britain's current crop of high profile Stand Up Comedians. As well as producing regular comedy shows and tours, we programme for many Corporate Events and Festivals, the high point of each year being The grand finals of the annual English & Scottish Comedian of the Year competitions, the 2007 final of which was nominated for Best Traditional Event at Scottish Event Awards

Along the way we have worked with Peter Kay, Johnny Vegas, Ross Noble, Daniel Kitson, Andrew Maxwell, Alan Carr, Boothby Graffoe, Dave Spikey, Phil Kay, Junior Simpson, Justin Moorhouse, Nina Conti & even Bernard Manning. Scottish Event Awards 2008
Alan Carr 
Ha Ha Comedy saw Channel 4 Friday Night Project star Alan Carr perform his first ever comedy spot at a competition in Manchester. 

He was so good the next week we gave him his first paid gig, then his first headline spot and first solo show. 

He recently appeared with us as a special guest at Maxwell's Fullmooners during the Glasgow Comedy Festival.

 
Matt Horne 
Matt Horne is famous from his spots on Teachers, The Catherine Tate Show and most recently Gavin & Stacy.  Matt began his comedy career in a double act with fellow student Bruce MacKinnon. 

Upon seeing the pairs first open spot, Ha Ha Comedy gave Matt & Mackinnon their first paid spots, headline spots and solo shows, which included a tour of The Hebrides where they ran Comedy workshops for school children.

Since then Bruce has been seen in The Office alongside Ricky Gervais and Jeckyl with James Nesbitt.

Johnny Vegas
In the time before his friendship with a certain monkey Johnny Vegas was a regular with Ha Ha Comedy. In January 2000 we booked a show for Johnny in a small room ( 70 capacity ) above a pub in Altrincham. 

No tickets were sold in advance. If you were lucky you could only get into the gig by purchasing a raffle ticket at the downstairs bar from 5pm on the night of the show. A lucky 45 tickets were pulled  out the hat for an amazing show.

Over 400 people turned up trying to see the show - many of the unlucky ones waited downstairs in hope of catching a glimpse oft the big man. At the end of the night he appeared for them - bollock naked.

IF.Comedy Award Winner 2007 & Ha Ha Comedy favourite Brendon Burns

Ross Noble
Back in 1999 / 2000 the Geordie surrealist superstar Roass Noble, a regular guest on Have I Got News For You and Just A Minute, swapped the big stage for performing on top of 6 beer crates, doing us the great honour of performing at Ha Ha Comedy's 1st and 2nd anniversary gigs.

The Big Yin Revisited
Just like his hero Billy Connolly, Garry Moir used to work in the shipyards on the Clyde. A former ITV Stars in Their Eyes Winner Garry started performing stand up comedy six years ago.

Since then he got through to the final of the Scottish Comedian of the Year and into the pop charts with Neds Kru.

Patrick Monahan
Patrick Monahan first did an open spot for Ha Ha Comedy in Sept 2000. He was amazing - even better than the 3 time Perrier nominated headliner - we took him for a late night chinese meal before putting him back on the night train to London.

Since then he has become our favourite Irish Iranian comedian and has followed n the footsteps of Jimmy Carr and Alan Carr as the warm up man on BBC's Friday Night with Jonathon Ross.
