On the 27th of April 2025, I captured The Sunday Social Comedy Club at Rise, Bluebird Bakery in Acomb, York. A warm, intimate venue that transforms from a café and bakery by day into a vibrant event space by night.

The atmosphere was relaxed and personal, with the audience gathered close to the stage under the soft glow of ambient lighting. Hosted by John Pease, who opened and closed the night, the lineup featured several talented comedians who brought their unique styles and humor to the mic.

Each shot from the evening captures the genuine energy of live performance, from candid audience reactions to the expressive delivery of each comedian under the iconic Sunday Social smiley backdrop.

This set celebrates the creativity of York’s comedy scene and the cozy charm of one of its most characterful venues.
