McSmith Events – Comedy Night
A new events company based in Thornton, McSmith Events, hosted their first event at Thornton Community Centre on Saturday 11th October.
Together with Comedy Hotspot they brought the first of what is hoped to be many Comedy nights to Thornton.
It was a hoot, three excellent comedians and a very funny host entertained us over a two and a half hour period, with the occasional short break to replenish our drinks from the bar set up in the meeting room and kitchen.
Don’t miss the next one on Friday 20th February 2026 – tickets available soon.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable evening and something very different for Thornton.
In keeping with their ethos, McSmith Events ran a raffle with some excellent prizes, to raise money for the Community Centre (a charitable organisation that relies on donations, grants and bookings). Plus promised a £1 from every ticket sold to be donated to the centre.
The Trustees sincerely thank McSmith Events for their donation of £204 towards the running costs of the Centre.
McSmith Events are a family-run company based in Thornton, Leicestershire, bringing top-quality entertainment to local community spaces.
From comedy nights to quizzes and parties, our events supports talent, community spaces, and good causes.
