🎤 Big news for comedy fans in Wales! The hilarious hosts of the incredibly popular Problematic Pub Podcast are opening the nation’s second-ever purpose-built comedy club in Swansea next year! 🎉
Sandro Ford and Simon Emanuel, backed by producer Jack Keylock, are transforming the old Chuckaboo unit on The Strand into a 120-seater hub of laughter: The Problematic Pub Comedy Club. Launching on Saturday, February 28, 2026—exactly two years after their podcast began—the club promises an unforgettable night out every Saturday with a stellar line-up of comedians.
The excitement is real, especially after their podcast blew up with 150,000 followers and live shows selling out across Wales and beyond. Sandro Ford shares, “It’s an exciting yet daunting venture. We’re keen on giving back to the Welsh comedy scene by always featuring local talent.”
Their success story is a testament to passion and authenticity. It all began in Stoke, where an idea over some beers led to a sell-out podcast and now, a comedy club! They’ve hosted packed events in venues across the region, proving the appetite for comedy is huge.
Sandro emphasises the intent to support local comedians, saying, “We have so many amazing Welsh comedians who are underrepresented on the UK circuit. We’re dedicated to changing that.”
Tickets will be a hot item when they go on sale from December 1 at www.problematicpub.com. Get ready to laugh your socks off in South Wales’ new comedy hotspot! 🎭✨
