Happy Hour Comedy Club relaunches at Stepps Bowling Club

Muirhead based comedian Harun Musho’d is launching a new season of The Happy Hour Comedy Club at Stepps Bowling Club on Thursday 15 October with JoJo Sutherland, Rob Payne and two supporting acts. Future monthly nights will include headliners such as Raymond Mearns, Viv Gee, Jay Lafferty, Ross Leslie and Mike Capozzola. He also plans to expand the club to other venues in smaller town and villages.

Harun said: “Glasgow and Edinburgh are well served by permanent comedy clubs such as the Stand, Glee and Monkey Barrel, but smaller towns and villages can’t support permanent clubs and may be losing out on seeing most of the professional comedians in Scotland and the UK. The Happy Hour comedy Club will be a touring event that visits smaller places to plug that gap and introduce more people to the vibrant joy of club stand-up comedy. The comedy event in Stepps is the first step on this journey (pun absolutely intended). Other social clubs and pubs are already showing interest in hosting similar nights.”

The Happy Hour Comedy Club was Harun’s London based comedy club between 2015 and 2018, that provided early opportunities for comedians to develop their acts, such as TV and radio stars Fatiha El-Ghorri, Mark Silcox, Nigel Ng, Cally Beaton, Catherne Bohart, Athena Kugblenu, Sindhu Vee, Alasdair Beckett-King, Sikisa, and others.

Harun Musho’d started performing stand-up comedy in 2013 as a 46-year old mature student at Royal Holloway university, whilst also working as an HR manager in the House of Commons. Harun now performs regularly at professional comedy clubs including Glee Clubs, the Stand-up Comedy Club, Monkey Barrel and the Stand. He is currently a trustee of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society. He lives in Glasgow. He has taken four solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe and is also the co-host of the sell-out Edinburgh Fringe hit comedy show A Political Breakfast.
