- Jokes @ the Juice Comedy NightJUICEBAR, Nottingham
This intimate, friendly night has been running monthly for a while now and has proven to be extremely popular. It's a great chance to see a mixture of up-and-coming and established acts at a price that won't break the bank. Everyone is welcoming and has a good time but it's perfect for new Meetuppers, as it's relaxed and fun without the pressure of having to make small talk all evening. Come on down for your comedy fix!
Website/tickets – £5.00 with no booking fee
This will sell out early, so don't wait to pay on the door!
We'll meet in the first floor bar area around 6:30pm. The comedy gig is on the next floor up and doors open there at 7:15. Several rows of seats are usually reserved for Meetuppers to sit together. If you've any questions, just ask in the comments or send me a message – but only after you've thoroughly read the description!
This event is cross-posted in a few groups; just join one of them, ta!

Never been to a ceilidh (pronounced Kay-Lea btw) before?
Actually, it doesn’t matter how many of them you’ve done before, or if you’ve done none at all.The person calling the dances (me Schuggie😍) tells everyone what they need to do, and keeps it going. Everyone dances with everyone, whether you know each other or not.
The more people the better!
Everyone gets a go. No one has the chance to bust different moves, and because no one *really* knows what’s going on🤣 it’s very difficult to feel self-conscious.
Essentially, most people are just guessing what they’re supposed to be doing, and that makes it brilliant.
There are lots of friendly folks to give you a hand and get everyone up dancing. We call these folks, Ceilidh Ninjas.
Our ceilidhs are fun, social and inclusive🌈. You will however need to bring along a sense of humour as half the fun of ceilidh dances is making mistakes💕. You don’t have to be a member of the Nottingham Ceilidh Club to come and join in the craic.
We usually dance to recorded music (very retro✨) with all the dances being called however, we might well 🤞 have a band along – which will mean dancing to live music at no extra charge🎶.
Ceilidhs are enjoyed by all ages – from youngsters' first Scottish dancing experience to old-timers out enjoying a burl. People come dressed in jeans, full highland dress – and everything in between.
Wear something comfortable to dance in.
📹Our ceilidhs will be recorded to improve the dancer's experience i.e. how I call the dances and to advertise future ceilidh along with improving dancers' experience.
If you don't want to be included in any of these promotional videos, please let me know on the night.
Lastly, please don't take your own alcohol into the pub🍻 Buy your drinks from the bar and don't forget the Boat & Horses now have a new landlord- so the water is free.
Any questions regarding the night- pop them in the comments/discussions below or message me.
For MeetUps some users are having meetups showing them as unpaid on certain events (not just ceilidhs). This is some sort of MeetUp glitch and is not in any way linked to your Ceilidh tickets or attendance. So you can ignore this notification. As Meetup is a third-party site it is not straightforward to see what is causing this. This FB Link shows other groups having similar issues as far back as Aug 2021. So its not something that’s going to be fixed any time soon- if ever! https://www.facebook.com/groups/broughtoncycling/posts/5021934784504669
