About

Come behind the scenes of The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre to see London’s hottest art-themed comedy night.

Art Laughs will be taking over Royal Museums Greenwich's storage and conservation facility for a comedy bonanza!

Join comedians, art critics and artist/poets for a comedy guided tour through some of Royal Museums Greenwich's weird and wonderful objects within the nation’s largest maritime collection.

Alongside a chucklesome tour lead by the host Verity Babbs, visual artist and poet Joel Sydenham will be running a blackout poetry workshop with a bit of a twist. Unlike traditional blackout poetry workshops that often focus on serious themes, this session is designed to infuse humour into the creative process. Participants will engage in an interactive and laughter-filled exploration of language, turning ordinary texts into comedic masterpieces through the art of blackout poetry.

Enjoy improvised comedy in the paintings store – inspired by the nautical works in the collection and your suggestions – from three of the UK's best improvisers: Dom O'Keefe, Monica Gaga and Fuaad Coovadia.

End the night with art historian and critic Verity Babbs and comedians Dom O'Keefe, Monica Gaga and Fuaad Coovadia who will be having a panel discussion delving into the museum's toys collection.
