WOKINGHAM LIONS CLUB
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things
What Do Wokingham Lions Do?
We run numerous fund-raising events throughout the year, including:
#Woky Comedy Nights at the Wokingham Theatre
The Wokingham Classic Motor Show
Last year we raised over £70,000, while the events we organised helped charities raise at least another £55,000 for themselves. We donate most of the money we raise to support local charities, partly through our Golden Awards scheme, but we also support families and individuals facing hardship.
We also donate around 10% to worldwide disaster relief and global causes via Lions Club International Foundation.
We provide services to the local community through projects like Message in a Bottle, ReTec, Recycled For Sight and Lions Share. We also support other charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers with their activities whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it and organise great social activities for our members.

Our great acts and MC are…..
MICHAEL FABBRI
Michael Fabbri has been a stand up since 2003 and regularly performs at major comedy clubs throughout the UK and all over the world.
He has worked as a writer for Radio and TV and recently had his own stand up series: 'Dyslexicon' on BBC radio 4. He has done several solo shows at the Edinburgh fringe festival and worked as a support act for Micky Flanagan, Lucy Porter, and Stephen K Amos.
He has an affable and electric style of comedy, with material that ranges from the cerebral to the smutty.
"Exceptionally funny, extremely sharp, hugely enjoyable." – The Scotsman
'An amiable and engaging storyteller and his tales from various points in his life are liberally peppered with excellent punchlines.' The List
'Offbeat delivery and evocative, quirky characterisations.' Fest
SARAH JOHNSON
Johnson’s amiable nature and saucy, raucous content is delivered in a charming and confident style which is reminiscent of some of Britain’s greatest female comedians. Drawing on her experiences from both the world of entertainment and as a wife and mother, Sarah’s act is a refreshingly candid take on modern life — bold, unfiltered, and utterly relatable.
“Amazing host, comic, and human” – Russell Kane
“Terrific, bulletproof material”. – Chortle, Steve Bennett
“Sarah Johnson is quick, weird, odd, normal, kind, naughty, and full of funny bones.
"Funny as hell. I think she’s brilliant” – Tony Law – Comedian
JOEY PAGE
Accomplished and hilarious with a unique take on the everyday, Joey Page’s career so far has been studded with rave reviews, award nominations (Best Comedy 2018 Perth Fringe Nominee & Best Edinburgh show @ Brighton Fringe awards 2017 Nominee) and TV appearances. (As seen on BBC 3’s Comedy Marathon, Nevermind the Buzzcocks & Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy)
Over the last few years, Joey has built quite the reputation as a circuit favourite, for his hilarious observations coming from a working class hero trapped in the body of an east end hipster. His truly captivating stage presence leaves an audience feeling that they have seen something very special.
★★★★★ "A leading name in British cult comedy" – ThreeWeeks
★★★★ "Laugh-out-loud. Page is the cheeky master of the alternative – a genuine master of his craft" – Australia Times
“Absolutely amazing" – XFM
MC – ANDY STEDMAN
With a mix of jokes, comedy songs and plenty of audience interaction Andy is never afraid to indulge in some friendly back-and-forth with the crowd, creating a real party atmosphere as a host or doing his 20 minute set.
With two full Edinburgh shows under his belt and over a thousand comedy gigs, Andy has made a quick transition from professional singer-songwriter to professional comedian. As well as his comedy, Andy is big QPR fan, loves cricket and is an Elvis geek.
“Stedman displays a real talent in playing to his audience, creating a friendly rapport which gives the show much of its charm. His songs are genuinely funny” – BROADWAY BABY
“Bang on trend” – Bruce Dessau, LONDON EVENING STANDARD
“His voice is sure to melt hearts.” – CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE

Deeper Purple are coming to Wokingham Music Club!
Wokingham Music Club are excited to welcome back Deeper Purple as part of their Space Truckers Tour on Saturday 25th April 2026 at All Saints Church Wokingham England.
Deeper Purple are an international band delivering the most authentic tribute to the giants of rock, Deep Purple. The band perform for over 2 hours delivering energetic and blistering performances of classic songs such as “Highway Star”, “Black Night”, “Woman from Tokyo”, “Child in Time”, “Perfect Strangers”, “Burn”, “Mistreated” and of course their best-known hit, “Smoke on the Water”.
If you’re a Deep Purple fan, or just love classic hard rock with soaring guitars, unwavering vocals, thundering organs and tight rhythm—Deeper Purple is a stellar way to experience that legacy live. Even newcomers have been spellbound; as one reviewer put it, “If you’ve never heard of Deep Purple… you should still see Deeper Purple—that’s how good they are.”
