Join Jason Patterson and Romesh Ranganathan for an extraordinarily hilarious hour of witty anecdotes and social cynicism. Patterson doles out hysterical tales of the first woman he brought to his mother’s house and his attempt to get out of being mugged by poking fun at the mugger’s trouser choice, while Romesh harks back to his not-so-careful use of sarcasm as a school teacher, and learning life lessons at the ‘Avengers Assemble’ film showing. Both Patterson and Ranganathan complete excellent stand up routines that are seamless and clever, and they definitely delivered more than I expected. Don’t miss these two comedians, because it will most likely be the last time one can see them for free.

Laughing Horse @ The White Horse, 8-26 Aug, 3.30pm.
