Stand Up for Cransley – Comedy Night 2026
Top UK Comedians Unite for a Night of Laughs at ‘Stand Up For Cransley!’
Cransley Hospice Trust is thrilled to bring an unforgettable night of comedy to North Northamptonshire with ‘Stand Up For Cransley!’, taking place on Saturday 8th February at the Holiday Inn Corby. Top UK talent, fresh from the comedy circuit promise a night of belly-laughs while raising essential funds for local hospice care.
Returning to her hometown to host the evening is the brilliantly sharp and effortlessly charming Alexandra Haddow — one of the fastest-rising stars of British comedy. Known for her whip-smart observations on modern life, Alexandra has been described by The Evening Standard as “a comic on the rise” and is the perfect ringmaster for a night of cheekiness, warmth and fun.
Joining Alexandra on stage is a standout line-up of comedic talent:
Eshaan Akbar – Star of Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, QI and Netflix’s Sex Education, Eshaan brings his signature blend of charisma, clever wit and cultural commentary that has made him a beloved performer across the UK.
Jamie Allerton – A regular favourite at London’s Top Secret Comedy Club, Jamie delivers razor-sharp observational humour infused with playful improvisation and stories from everyday life that everyone can relate to.
The Holiday Inn’s Manor Suite is the perfect setting for a night of first-class entertainment, and a whole lot of laughter. Every ticket sold will help support specialist end-of-life care for patients and families across North Northamptonshire.
“We cannot wait for Stand Up For Cransley!” says Sarah Caldwell, Community and Events Fundraiser.
“This incredible line-up is such a treat to bring to our community. It’s a totally new event for us, and we’re so excited to kick off 2026 with a night everyone can look forward to. Every ticket truly makes a difference and helps ensure that hospice care is available to those who need it most at such a sad and difficult time.”
