Eric Rushton brings his latest stand-up material to the stage as part of Creatures Comedy Festival, offering an intimate evening of live comedy in Manchester's vibrant Northern Quarter. This work-in-progress show gives you the chance to see a comedian developing fresh material in real time, making it a genuinely unique experience that you won't get from a polished tour show. At just £8, it's brilliant value for a Sunday night out and perfect if you're after something different in the city.
Creatures Comedy Club has become a proper hub for stand-up in the Northern Quarter, hosting everything from established acts to rising talent. The venue's got that DIY, grassroots feel that defines Manchester's comedy scene – intimate, unpretentious, and focused entirely on the laughs. It's nestled among the independent bars and cafes that make this part of town so buzzing, so you can easily make an evening of it.
The show kicks off at 18:45 on Sunday 26 July, with a 16+ age restriction, so bring your mates or make it a proper night out. The Northern Quarter's well-served by buses from the city centre, or it's a short walk from Piccadilly. Get there early to grab a drink and soak in the atmosphere – work-in-progress comedy nights often run tighter than you'd expect, and venues like this reward arriving with time to spare.
