Tom Lawrinson stand up

Tom Lawrinson brings his stand-up comedy to Red Arch on Wednesday 12 August 2026, kicking off at 19:30 for an evening of sharp, intelligent humour. At just £9, it's brilliant value for a night out in Manchester's comedy scene, and Lawrinson's reputation for witty, observational material makes this a solid choice whether you're a comedy regular or looking to try something different on a weeknight.

Red Arch sits in the heart of the Northern Quarter, one of Manchester's most vibrant neighbourhoods packed with independent bars, vintage shops, and creative spaces. The venue itself has become a real hub for comedy and live entertainment, offering an intimate setting that puts you close to the action—you'll definitely feel the energy of the room here, which is what makes smaller comedy nights special.

The 18+ age restriction applies, so bring ID to be safe. Getting to Red Arch is straightforward whether you're using the Metrolink or driving—there's decent parking nearby and the Northern Quarter's well-served by public transport. Arrive a bit early to grab a drink from the bar and soak in the atmosphere; comedy nights here tend to fill up, and you'll want a good spot to settle in for an evening of laughs.
