Comedians at the Kenton Theatre

Henley's Kenton Theatre has a great line up of comedians for November: Suzi Ruffell, Josh Pugh and Paul McCaffrey.

Suzi Ruffell

Suited and booted stand-up comedian Suzi Ruffell has had five sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, racking up critical acclaim from reviewers and audiences alike. Suzi is now on tour with her show Dance Like Everyone’s Watching, which has gained her a nomination for Best Stand Up Show in the National Comedy Awards 2021.

Suzi continues to grace our screens with appearances on numerous TV shows such as Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, The Jonathan Ross Show, Dating No Filter, Channel Hopping with Jon Richardson, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, The Last Leg, and There’s Something About Movies to name but a few! The 2018 release of Suzi’s stand-up show Keeping It Classy for Live From The BBC saw a clip gaining over 44 million views on Facebook, and she was nominated for Outstanding Female Comedy Entertainment Performance in the National Comedy Awards for her hosting duties on Comedy Central’s Yesterday, Today & The Day Before in 2021.
