🎤 Screaming With Laughter Launches in Sidcup – Comedy for Grown-Ups, Babies Come Too!
London’s original daytime comedy club for parents and carers with babies is coming to The Alma on Wednesday 3rd June, bringing top stand-up comedy and much-needed grown-up laughter to Sidcup families.
Hosted by comedian and broadcaster Hatty Ashdown, Screaming With Laughter is designed for parents who still love a comedy night out — but currently spend more evenings watching CBeebies than going to comedy clubs. The difference? This comedy club happens in the daytime, and babies are welcome too.
The launch show features headliner Fiona Ridgewell alongside Sam Wyatt. Audiences can expect a real comedy club atmosphere with professional comedians seen on TV and the UK comedy circuit, but with baby-friendly extras to help parents feel relaxed and included.
There will be space for prams, soft mats for little wrigglers and baby changing facilities available. Parents are free to feed, cuddle, rock, bounce, change or walk around with their baby during the show — whether that’s a bottle or whipping out a boob, nobody will mind. Babies having a grizzle is completely understood, and crying adults after a difficult night’s sleep are also welcome.
The event is aimed at parents, grandparents, carers, expectant parents and anyone looking for a daytime social outing with a baby in tow. Organisers hope the Sidcup launch will become a regular fixture for local families looking to meet others, enjoy some adult conversation and laugh about the chaos of modern parenting.
Hatty Ashdown said: “Rhyme time is lovely, but parents need spaces to laugh and feel like themselves too. We want people to come along, have a coffee or lunch, meet other grown-ups and enjoy brilliant live comedy without worrying if their baby makes noise.”
The event takes place at The Alma on Wednesday 3rd June. Doors open at 11am and the show starts at 11.30am. Ticket options include standard entry and entry with lunch included. Tickets are available via Eventbrite or directly from the venue.
