Dom Joly's SpeakeaZy

Dom Joly, The star of Trigger Happy TV, presents his monthly SpeakeaZy. A grass-roots club atmosphere in which he curates a curious combination of music, comedy and chat for a gloriously eclectic night out in. 

A LIVE NIGHT...

Dom Joly- multi-award-winning comedian, travel writer and broadcaster has a really big year ahead in the UK. He first shot to fame with the global smash hit Trigger Happy TVthat sold to over 80 countries and won the Silver Rose of Montreux. The show celebrates its 25th anniversary and Dom, with the help of Live Nation, is performing at an 25th Anniversary Tour. But the Cheltenham resident has a created surprise for a little closer to home…

Dom’s Cabaret of Curiosities will have a late-night chat show vibe with guests, music & comedy. Dom wants to provide a unique, off-beat experience and the venue – The Steam and Whistle Pub and live venue opposite Cheltenham Spa station- ticks all the boxes. The idea is to have an evening that incorporates all of Joly’s interests- music, comedy, a bit of culture and a smattering of current affairs.  

Joly wants to not only shine a light of local talent in his curiosity show, he has persuaded bands he loves to do unplugged sets and promises a series of top mystery guests that, with the help of the audience, he will interview on stage. These could be musicians, comedians, writers, politicians…anybody who Dom feels might be interesting and are foolish enough to accept his invitation. 

“I want the whole thing to be fun, surprising…essentially a top night out where nobody really knows what’s going to happen next, especially the guests.”

Artisan pizzas & bar from 4pm, last orders for whole pizzas 6pm, pizza snacking slices from 6pm. Show starts 7.30pm, includes an interval, and the bar stays open for beers/drinks after the show.
Note: seating is first come first served (benches, chairs & high stools) so arrive early.

Steam & Whistle:

After years of neglect, this beautiful old Victorian Pub has been given a new lease of life by owners Neil & Michelle of cult Cheltenham pizza brand, Marvellous Medicine.

Quickly established as busy pub for locals and foodies alike, they are now developing the large venue space to the rear as a creative, indie hub for live music, comedy and more.
