Well, friends, we made it. It’s legit our fifth birthday and from our humble beginnings as a free improv comedy night in a small room above a south London pub we have now reached the dizzying heights of… well, nothing’s changed, to be honest. We still star YOU in our free jams and we still have fantastic acts every single Monday here at the Effra Social. Speaking of which…

Bareback Kings! Nothing can prepare you for these lads and their unique brand of hairy humour. Brent Would and his buddies will make you howl with laughter. The twist? They’re all women in drag.

Patrol! This deliciously dark and extremely funny team (formerly A Threesome but now even bigger and sexier) boasts being at the very first DDG jam night, way back when in 2014. They are still an absolute hoot and will prove it to you tonight.

Plus: YOU! You can rock up on the night, put your name in the bucket for free and get to play a two-person scene and a group montage with some lovely new friends. Ever wanted to see what improv comedy feels like? Maybe tonight’s your night!

Did we mention it’s our fifth birthday?
