BIG WOWIE! COMEDY

  Big Wowie! was created by Nathan Lang, former host of experimental comedy night Lost Cabaret, and half of sketch duo Jon & Nath. Our philosophy is to promote comedy, creativity and community in a safe, inclusive atmosphere that connects people and supports local charities. We showcase the best in characters, clowning, sketch, music, physical comedy and the downright bizarre.

During the Coronavirus pandemic we have created an online character comedy event featuring interactive performances to foster connectivity and engagement. We want you to be comfortable enjoying bucketloads of laughter in your own home, to remain safe and always feel part of the fun.

  Grow is an independent and self-organised eco-system of studios and a creative space with bars and kitchen, created out of an old sausage factory by the River Lea in Hackney Wick. It operates as an experiment in ethical and sustainable business. Grow works in partnership with artists, musicians, DJ's and community groups to host a diverse programme of events, including live jazz, open deck reggae, workshops and talks, fundraisers and art/film festivals.  Grow pays London Living Wage, uses eco-electricity and is free entry wherever possible. From the bar, expect a range of locally and ethically sourced craft and organic drinks and a seasonal menu from the kitchen.
