About This Show
UK comedian Jack Holmes returns to Lisbon a night of hilarious English stand-up. Dark, heart-warming and funny as hell!
Jack Holmes is a British-born comedian based in Central Europe. Known for his high-energy
performances, Holmes leaves audiences in fits of laughter wherever he goes. His jokes walk a delicate line between anger and absurdity, whilst tackling self-depreciation and cross-cultural observations to hilarious and heart-warming effect.
Holmes has developed a reputation as one of the hardest working comedians in Europe, often performing upwards of 200 shows a year, and has worked in 30+ countries over 4 continents. He was featured in Austria's first ever televised English stand-up Broadcast, has recorded Comedy specials and live albums and made appearances at major festivals (Sziget Fest, Utrecht International Comedy Festival and Panč), as well as opening for multiple household name comedians, all of which has cemented his as one of the names to watch for in the European comedy scene.
His new touring show, “Round man, square hole” is a laugh-filled journey about finding every group you belong to insufferable. From veganism and his punk band days, to resisting the cliches of being a married man, this sober, record-collecting, British-born, euro-trash comedian jokes and jabs himself apart to the glee of his audiences. An unpretentious and hilarious hour from a lovably gruff comedian who's very worried that being lovably gruff will be the next trend taken over by twats.
Life's not always fun, but it can always be funny.

What People Say
"Great spot to listen to some English language comedy. The owner and host is very interactive and funny. Love the place and will definitely be back. And highly recommend to anyone who's a fan of stand up."
"Great comedy club, intimate, and highly entertaining. This Lisbon gem should be a staple of the nightlife as it is a fantastic venue and the artists have been very good on our visits. Highly recommend!"
"I had loads of fun at their Friday night show. The venue is very cool, ran by and for comedians. This is a no brainer if you are solo travelling as the bar staff look after you and comedy is a great ice breaker when meeting people."
"I have been here twice now, and really enjoyed the experience both times. If you are looking for diverse, multicultural comedy all in English in Lisbon, this is the place! There is also a secretive speakeasy vibe to the bar and its entrance which is a really nice touch."
