Ignacio Lopez leads comedy line-up at Grantham Railway Social Club

October 1, 2026 Leave a Comment

Funhouse Comedy Club is back at Grantham Railway Social Club on Thursday November 26th with another great line-up of comedians.

Topping the bill is Spaniard/Welshman Ignacio Lopez, who has appeared on ‘Live at The Apollo’, ‘Have I Got News For You’ and has performed for the Wales football squad and opened for James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers; with his unique brand of sarcastic observations and witty lines. He gives his audience a taste of what it’s like to be the outsider, explaining cultural differences with hilarious results.

Opening the night will be writer, actor and comedian Barry Castagnola who has written for the likes of BBC’s ‘Ask Rhod Gilbert’, as well as creating characters for Dom Joly’s ITV show, ‘Fool Britannia’ and has recently been the opening act on Greg Davies’ mammoth UK tour. His self-derision and anecdotes about his life cut to the chase, striking a chord with his audiences and his amiable persona never fails to appeal.

Also appearing is the deadpan Peter Brush, who was a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Award and has written for BBC Radio 4’s ‘The News Quiz’; as well as supporting Arthur Smith and Stephen K Amos on tour. Sometimes referred to as a geek, his mind seems to find the oddities in ‘normality’! His imaginative use of words and strange lines of thought, results in unique and sharp material.

Compere for the night will be the amiable and animated Spiky Mike.
