A BRITAIN’S Got Talent finalist will be making a special guest appearance in Reading this Friday, thanks to a new comedy club.
Starting out as a small, semi-professional group, Mates Rates Comedy has hit the town with some exciting new gigs.
Now, promoter Nick Byard says he has “stepped up” his game and is keen to put on more shows across the borough.
Tomorrow night, audiences can enjoy an evening of laughter at The Purple Turtle, on Gun Street, as they are joined by the reality TV show’s contestant, Nabil Abdulrashid.
“I am really proud of what we achieved as a semi-pro night,” says Mr Byard.

After hosting Reginald D Hunter at Double Barrelled Brewery in Reading, the comedy club is now looking forward to what’s on the horizon.
Mr Byard adds: “We have a really great programme of events over the next few months, including Nabil Abdulrashid headlining our show next week, so it is a really exciting time for us at Mates Rates Comedy.”
Tickets for tomorrow’s show cost £15.
It’s for adults only and starts at 7.30pm.
