Each Tuesday night in July, Megafauna Cafe at Cambridge Arcade is playing host to 8 Mile Comedy, a competition for new and upcoming comedians from around the North West

Southport’s New Comedy Competition is taking place every Tuesday this July.

Each Tuesday night this month, Megafauna Cafe at Cambridge Arcade is playing host to 8 Mile Comedy, a competition for new and upcoming comedians from around the North West. 

Each week eight comedians compete for a place in the final to win a coveted comedy trophy. The event is free for members of the public and cafe owner, Ben Chew, is hoping people will come down and support the event. 

Megafauna is Southport’s only true vegan cafe which Ben opened just before the pandemic. 

It’s testament to Ben and his dedicated staff that the unique cafe is still going strong. 

Organisers of the 8 Mile competition, James Connell and Kevin O’Brien, have been organising regular local comedy gigs in Southport now for over three years, including a current monthly Comedy Gold night at the Southport Bijou Cinema. 

James said: “The nights are open to a range of comics, including those who’ve only started comedy during the pandemic, when it was hard to get a live gig anywhere due to the restrictions. 

“We’re hoping to give new comedians a chance to perform in a welcoming environment. 

“The winner will go on to get a paid gig at the Comedy Gold night in front of a bigger audience.

“We understand it’s hard to get quality performance time when you’re just starting out – there’s a lot of new and young talent out there that struggles to get that.”

    Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
