Friday 16 May 2025: #Woky Comedy Night
This will be the last in the current season of comedy nights and promises to end the year with a bang.
As always four great comedians will entertain and amuse:
David Ward: Recognisable from BBC Three’s We Are Klang, David Ward is one of comedy’s most sought after presenters, writers and comedians. David’s upbeat warmth and spontaneity has made him the choice host for the heats for both BBC’s New Comedy Awards and C5’s So You Think You’re Funny? and corporates all over the UK
Sarah Callaghan: Beautifully honest and infectiously upfront in style, Sarah started performing in 2010 and quickly made her mark becoming a Funny Women finalist. Her unique stage persona has led to an impressive gig history with performances at some of the UK’s most famous venues. A raw, gutsy new talent, Sarah Callaghan is most definitely a star in the making.
Ben Norris is a highly experienced and hugely well-respected stand-up. He’s been performing comedy since 1993 and is renowned for his incredibly relaxed stage persona and his innate ability to improvise as well as deliver sharply crafted material.
Mark Maier: Mark’s accessible, warm sense of humour and sharp, incisive wit, coupled with his ability to tailor his material specifically to any occasion, makes him a natural choice for corporate engagements.
Wednesday 16 July 2025: Swimathon
The Wokingham Lions Swimathon returns this summer offering a great low-cost fundraising opportunity for charities, schools and community groups.
The date has been set for Wednesday 16th July 2025 starting at 10am and finishing at 3pm. The new daytime slot is designed so that schools as well as charities can get involved.
A Lions Club spokesman said, “Whilst the pilot event last year was very successful, with total funds raised exceeding £12,500, we thought having it on a Saturday Night made it inaccessible for some groups to take part. By having it close to the end of the summer term, many schools could find this a great opportunity to fundraise. Pupils of any age can enter, provided they are aged 8 or over on 16th July 2025. However, our thoughts are aimed at pupils in year 6, who will be moving onto their Secondary School in September, and those in years 11 and 13 who are finishing stages of their education. Taking part in the Swimathon with their fellow pupils, would be a wonderful way to support their school and mark the end of their Primary or Secondary education.”
Charities and community groups are also more than welcome.
