THURTON COMEDY CLUB. OCTOBER 16

Shaft Of Wit Comedy at The George & Dragon Thurton   A Proper Night of Stand‑Up not to be missed

LAST TIME AT THURTON COMEDY CLUB (AUGUST 28th 2026)

If you missed the first show, it was lots of fun . President Obonjo, Jack Channell & Duncan Oakley brought the funny and there was lots of laughter.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thurton is about to get loud. The George & Dragon has joined the Shaft Of Wit Comedy Circuit, and it’s already shaping up to be one of our most exciting new rooms. This brilliant village pub turns into a full‑blown comedy club for the night, bringing you a hand‑picked mix of quick‑witted comics, rising talent and seasoned performers who know exactly how to work a lively crowd.

There’s something special about The George & Dragon — the atmosphere is warm, the audience is up for a laugh, and the room has that perfect close‑up feel that makes stand‑up crackle. It’s the kind of place where comedians can really let loose and audiences get the full, unfiltered experience.

Whether you’re a Shaft Of Wit regular or just fancy trying something different on a weeknight, you’re in for a proper night out: big laughs, great people and that unmistakable Shaft Of Wit buzz. You don’t need to know who’s on the bill — you just need to know it’ll be funny, affordable and absolutely worth leaving the house for.

Scroll down to see the kind of unforgettable nights we’ve been creating across Norfolk, and why Thurton is already becoming one of our favourite new stops on the circuit.
