Jack Jay, director of The Empire, said: “It's very rare you can see this quality of stand up for free.
"We really hope that people come along and support the evening and that it can become a regular monthly event.”
The evening will be hosted by BBC New Comedy contributor Martin Westgate.
The event will be headlined by observational comedian John Mann, who has toured the UK with Lenny Henry and Never Mind the Buzzcocks' Phill Jupitus.
