Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits! Over twenty years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, popping up at festivals like Glastonbury, End Of The Road and Camp Bestival.

They have also published a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and host their own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world. In August 2025, they won The Victoria Wood Award, the Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ panel prize, in recognition of our two decades in this glorious endeavour.

The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it's just like a normal comedy club, but it's on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own food and drink?

Customers are welcome to bring their own food and soft drinks to events at the Bowl, but, due to licensing conditions, no alcohol or glass is allowed in from outside. There is a licensed bar inside open one hour before the show and there will be security conducting bag searches upon arrival.

Can I bring my dog?

With the exception of service dogs, no dogs are allowed to be brought into the Bowl, for the comfort of all customers. Dogs are allowed in the wider park area.

Do you offer free tickets for my carer?

Customers who are wheelchair users or are in receipt of PIP, Attendance Allowance or who have a Certificate Of Visual Impairment, are able to reserve a complimentary companion ticket.

Do I need to bring a chair?
