A new comedy night opens in London this Thursday called Guerilla Busfare and you have to admire its ambitious manifesto: “It’s a celebration of creative, alternative comedy and it comes in all shapes, sizes and formats. We want people to come to the night and experience live comedy in all it’s glorious unpredictability, to be challenged, to be uplifted and to become a key part of the show. This is going to be one of those nights where you spend the rest of evening wondering what you’ve just seen. It’s bringing the Edinburgh experience to London as we aim to smash through the 4th, 5th and 6th walls of live comedy."

The first gig is at the Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen and, interestingly, is standing room only. And you certainly can’t fault their debut line-up, which features the cream of the truly alternative end of current comedy. There’s ultimate room-divider Brian Gittins, confrontational clown Red Bastard, frankly madcap Holly Burn, Ali Brice and Beth Vyse plus, best of all, a live appearance from Harry Hill.
