The Colonel Fawcett pub, in the back streets of Camden, has built up an incredible reputation since its inception (on the site of The Camden Arms est. 1845) in 2011. One of Camden's few independent free houses, we're proud to offer a great array of 19 beers on draft, over 100 gins and a fantasticselection…

Description
AHIR SHAH
A veteran of the comedy scene, yet barely out of his twenties, Ahir has spent more than a decade honing his craft and is now an expert in the art of finely crafted, super-intelligent heartfelt satire. His latest shows – Control and Duffer - have garnered him a deserved pair of nominations for Best Show at the Edinburgh Fringe and it showcased all his hugely linguistic flair and performative verve as he tackled big ideas of globalisation, fascism, empire and milk.
"Excellent…A questing argument against compassion fatigue and a generational cri de coeur.” ★★★★ The Guardian
“Intricately crafted, profoundly moving, howlingly funny … a blazing talent firing on all cylinders.” ★★★★★ Telegraph
"Fiendishly clever and furious." ★★★★ The Times
MICHAEL ODEWALE
An exceptionally smart young man with something to say, Michael Odewale’s stand up covers everything from politics to pigeons. He began performing in 2014 while at university and was a finalist in both the Chortle Student Comedy Award and the BBC New Comedy Award in 2016.
A fresh new voice known for delivering sharp, slick and beautifully executed content, Odewale is set to take the comedy world by storm and has already performed at UK’s most famous venues including The Comedy Store, Up the Creek and The Comedy Café.
This bright young star is quickly proving himself to be one of the most exciting up and coming talents in British stand up.
“An engagingly sardonic wit.” Chortle
HANNAH SILVESTER
Hannah is a comic with a no-holds barred agenda: make you laugh at any cost, no matter what she tells you about her family life. Her set combines frank and honest stand up comedy with a warm delivery and the occasional comedy song thrown into the mix.
“She’s a woman with a lot of attitude, and a way of expressing it that is often viciously, hilariously blunt. She revels in her bad parenting, is withering about sexist behaviour, and frank about ageing – all delivered with a compelling surety.” Chortle
FAYE TREACEY
Musical Comedy Awards, Best Newcomer Faye Treacy went to the Brit School of performing arts with Adele and Jessie J and then studied the trombone at the Royal Academy of Music with no-one interesting! Busy on the London scene, Faye started stand-up 2 years ago and made the finals of the Reading Comedy Festival New Act Competition after her first year.
"Treacy's charm soon wins us round... her one-liners are expertly crafted and sharp." The List
DANIEL TRISCOTT
Subtle, casually paced and originally from Cornwall, Dan has a forensic approach to producing distinct jokes that are as sharp as he is tall. There’s no theme, no real opinions, no message, just sweet sweet comedy mechanics in action! And who doesn’t love that?
"His winning mix of memorable one line gags and surreal visual humour stole the show." BBC
AND YOUR RESIDENT HOST:
BEN VAN DER VELDE
Standing a statuesque five foot five inches high (not in heels) and weighing in at eleven stone (on a good day) Ben is the current light-middleweight contender for compering champion of North London.
"Sharp and crafty gagsmith, a life-giving compere." Chortle
"Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue." Edinburgh Festivals Magazine
“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.” Huffington Post
