LiveTwist Comedy Night: Live Show
18 120 mins
18 120 mins
Picture this: an out-of-this-world line-up of comedians will deliver laughs aplenty to two crowds in one night – at the exact same time, halfway across the city, looking exactly like they're there in person.
“But how?” we hear you ask… Boldly go where no comedy fan has gone before, as a genuine world-first live experience comes exclusively to Picturehouse: introducing LiveTwist’s Hologram Comedy night!
Our comedy pros will be beamed across London from our Finsbury Park Club Room (where they’ll perform in the flesh) to Hackney Picturehouse using top-of-the-line hologram technology (where you won’t believe your eyes). Baffled? Bewildered? Mind blown?
You’ve just got to see it for yourself – don’t miss a minute of what lies in store. P
lease note that the LiveTwist event taking place here at Finsbury Park will be a live comedy show (no holograms, just good laughs). The event taking place at Hackney Picturehouse will be broadcast live using holograms. Before booking, make sure you double-check the event listing.
Stage times: Friday 12 December – doors 19.00, show starts 20.00 | Saturday 13 December – doors 15.00, show starts 16.00

MC – David Whitney: Born in Aberdeen to a military family and trained at the Drama Centre, David spent years pursuing his love of theatre and Shakespeare – but after telling a string of lies to impress an agent, he found himself performing his very first stand-up comedy gig at the Friars Club in Beverly Hills. He’s never looked back, and now regularly plays some of the biggest clubs in the country.
