Running-a-Mock

Dear All,

We are sorry to announce that Running-A-Mock will be taking an indefinite hiatus effective immediately.

This was not an easy decision. We are just as sad about this as the rest of you, if not more so as we had so many plans for the next year and have had to suddenly cancel them. This is not curtains closed, so do watch this space for further updates in the near future.

We are aware many of you have not had the chance yet to attend one of our workshops, and we are deeply sorry that we never got to share our love of comedy with you. We would therefore like to highlight other tried-and-tested opportunities in London should you be still be keen on comedy:

The Free Association (https://thefreeassociation.co.uk)
Many RAM alumni have taken their careers here and flourished, with many of them having also worked here. They offer classes in improv, sketch, and comedy writing. They also have diversity scholarships and open workshops to meet like-minded individuals, which are free.

Hoopla (https://www.hooplaimpro.com/improv-comedy-club-london-bridge.html)
London's first improv comedy club. Here you can catch shows from professional improv troupes. They also allow amateurs to book to perform for a very reasonable price. Additionally, they offer courses in improv.

Stand-up Club (https://thestandupclub.co.uk)
With many venues across London (including London Bridge) there is no shortage of evening shows featuring the very best of stand-up comedy. The tickets are very reasonably priced, but some nights are naturally more expensive. They do not have amateur nights, but if you are very experienced you can try to book a spot. However, a lot of pubs and bars in London organise stand-up evenings for amateurs, so if you're keen do just ask around in your local area.

Thank you all very much for your interest in Running-A-Mock. We wish each and every one of you the best in your degrees, your time at King's, and the happiest life. Always have fun, tell jokes (especially the crappy ones), and keep laughing!

Best Wishes & Kind Regards,

Sarah & Ben

Hey guys, we know it's very short notice but our RAM get together tonight has been cancelled. We know it sucks and we don't want to do this but there's some unforeseen circumstances surrounding this decision. Again we're really sorry!

So, our room bookings got messed up for this week, which is big sad. We're really sorry, but it's out of our hands.

This Wednesday will be an online session over Zoom from 5:30pm-6:30pm. (Bit of a shorter since it's online) We'll still be doing all the things we usually do it's just going to be slightly different in terms of format.

Hey, we'll be Activity Room D in Bush House Southeast for our Taster session this evening at 5pm.

It's on Strand directly across Strand Building and just next to the Britain Australia Society. Head up via the elevator to the 8th Floor and go through the corridor that says 'Activity Rooms B-D'.

Hope the directions help - God knows King's has a very confusing campus (not aimed at you, GKT and Waterloo, you never did me dirty).

We loved meeting you all at Welcome Fair!

For our Taster Session we'll try to give you guys a flavour of everything we offer at Running-A-Mock - improv games, analysing our favourite bits of comedy writing, breaking down some excellent stand-up, and we'll be showcasing our material from last year. If demand is high enough we'll close off with a quick open-mike!

(Note: there won't be any sketch activities per se simply because it would not be realistic for the first session.)

We will also be announcing the winner of our grand prize!

Hey guys we are here at Freshers Fair 2021! We’ve moved from stall 148 to stall 152.

Come down and say hi for your chance to win some chocolatey prizes and to deck yourself out in some pun-tasted stickers!

Heading to Welcome Fair tomorrow?

Come and meet us at Stall 148 next to the other performance societies!

There's a chance to win a grand prize and plenty of puntastic stickers for you to collect! 🥳🤩🥳

Hey - in case you've come by for our first workshop we're in Activity Room D

Today is our first stand-up performance of the year at Strand campus - we'll be on stage in the pedestrian-only zone at 12:30pm!

We'll be around after for a bit if you want to say hi!

Come find us on the Society app on iPhone/Android!
We're Running-A-Mock on there too and we have a group chat if any of you want to get in touch with us about joining our comedy society!
