Once a comedy hub, Forest Hill will rise again in the stand-up world if Robyn Perkins, a local resident, has anything to say about it. Perkins, who has been rated 5-stars by Voice Mag, brings with her three years of successful comedy nights around London, to launch a weekly comedy night on Tuesday nights at The Honor Oak Pub, SE23, called Laugh Train Home.

Starting on June 13th, the Laugh Train Home host will welcome Edinburgh preview shows from TV credited acts including John Robins (Mock the Week, Radio X), Ivo Graham (Live at the Apollo), Dane Baptiste (Hither Green superstar, writer of BBC sitcom Sunny D, Live at the Apollo & more), Sarah Kendall (two time Edinburgh Award nominee), Tom Deacon (Capital FM Breakfast Show host), and Ellie Taylor (Live at the Apollo).

Previews will be running until the Fringe starts from 8-10pm at the pub; tickets are £5 in advance / £7 at the door. Starting September 5th, Laugh Train Home’s pro comedy nights will commence and will run weekly; tickets will be £6 in advance / £8 at the door.

Find Perkins and these other comedy greats at The Honor Oak Pub at 1 St. German’s Rd., SE23 1RH.
