Laugh Riot: Busy Making New Friends in Leeds & Derby

Making new friends with MixingOut is always tons of fun, but our most recent get together in Leeds was a real laugh-riot. It was a comedy night at the Verve Bar and a chance to see some proper standup.

After meeting up with organiser Francy, we got our drinks ordered and settled in for a night of fun and frolics. Most of the group had never been to a comedy club before, so there were quite a few worried faces (we’ll be okay, just so long as we don’t sit at the front!). But everybody quickly loosened up once the show got started. It was great, everybody had a really fun time, and the crowd was awesome too; friendly, lively, and totally up for a laugh – which made the whole night even better.

In fact, the night went so well that some of the group decided to make ‘comedy nights’ a weekly occurrence. So if that sounds like something you’ve always wanted to experience, then check our events page and sign yourself up!

Our next event that week was for a night out on the town, and this time we were in Derby. After meeting up with a group of entirely new faces, we made our way to Revolution de Cuba, a really energetic bar situated in one of liveliest parts of the city centre – perfect for a Saturday night. The crowds were in full force; vibrant, sociable, and up for a really good time.

It was MixingOut’s first event in Derby and we’re pleased to say it went down a storm. Everybody who attended had an amazing time; drinks, music, dancing and friendly company – just what everybody needs after a gruelling week at work!
