LOVE ALT COMEDY, WHY NOT JOIN US FOR ...
Folie à Trois

Accidental 12th December, 8.00pm

Three unique, q***r voices on the Belfast scene come together for one night in the Accidental Theatre!

With David Doherty-Jebb, Céilí Rae Minogue and Jessie Fletcher.

Jessie has several named character credits on IMDb, having graced the BBC, ITV, and even PBS in the US. Technically, this gig is a little beneath her—but since transition, she’s learned to embrace the glamorous world of “taking what she can get.” Unable to afford a therapist, Jessie’s instead perfected the art of weaponising the things she would say to one—turning emotional avoidance into a full-time personality trait. It’s cheaper, more efficient, and honestly, who needs therapy when you can overshare strategically?

FANCY SOME FESTIVE FUN?!

Don't forget Triggered is back Sunday 14th Decemeber.
Stand up comics compete to leave the stage unscathed while avoiding audience triggers. Each audience member holds a bingo card filled with comedy clichés and hack material. If a comedian references three of these, they get nerfed off the stage!

Featuring Amelia Price, Conor McGinley, Dan Leith, Donny Kingston, Leeann Toland and Paddy McGaughey!

THIS FRIDAY
Echoes of a Mind
Film 28th November 6.00pm
from £7.00

Echoes of a Mind, is a somber, introspective short film that explores the quiet weight of mental struggle through one sleepless night. With a muted, dreamlike tone, it captures the haunting disconnect between outward presence and inner silence.

WE ARE BACK!
Triggered
On Air and On Stage, Sunday 14 December 7pm GMT
from £7.00

In this holiday special, stand-up comics battle to stay on stage without getting sleigh-ed by the audience!
Each audience member arrives armed with a festive bingo card stuffed with comedy clichés, overused holiday jokes, and the most groan-worthy seasonal material imaginable.
If a comedian accidentally hits three squares, the audience are triggered and they are nerfed off the stage!

Will they survive the tinsel-covered traps?
Will they resist the urge to joke about bad Secret Santa gifts, awkward office parties, or Mariah Carey?
Only the bravest comics will make it through the night unscathed and undefeated!

Featuring Amelia Price, Conor McGinley, Dan Leith, Donny Kingston, Leeann Toland and Paddy McGaughey!

Accidental Comedy Club
On Air and On Stage Friday 5th December 8pm GMT
from £7.00

Gloriously Unhinged. Ridiculously Funny. Brutally Honest.
The first Friday of every month.

Tired of safe comedy nights where every punchline feels like it’s been filtered through HR? Good. So are we.

Welcome to Accidental’s Comedy Club — the monthly meltdown of madness, where the misfits own the mic, the weirdos rule the room, and no topic is too taboo. It’s comedy turned up to eleven, where awkward is a compliment and WTF is part of the charm.
