Milli Group is the entertainment company behind The Queer Comedy Club and Betty & Joan’s.

We produce stand-up comedy, cabaret, podcasts, club nights and large-scale events, and our venues in Elephant & Castle are becoming a major hub for LGBTQ+ entertainment in London.

We’re now looking for a Head of Events, Programming & Partnerships to help shape what happens in our venues.

This is not just a diary management role.

We’re looking for someone who wants to build a programme, develop new nights, and bring great people into the space.

The Opportunity

You will be responsible for growing and developing the event programme across our venues.

This includes:

• bringing new promoters and club nights into the venue

• developing new in-house events and concepts

We will support you to develop ideas and relationships that grow the venues.

We’re particularly interested in people who already have connections with:

• club night promoters

• DJs and producers

If you already work in nightlife, comedy or live events and want a venue you can actively programme, this role could be a great fit.

In this role you will:

• bring exciting new promoters and events into the venue

• develop new nights that attract new audiences

• help grow the comedy programme

• build a strong pipeline of corporate and daytime bookings

• maximise the use of the venue throughout the week

You will work closely with the Milli Group team but have the freedom to propose and develop your own ideas.

Salary & Commission

£30,000 – £40,000 + commission

(with part-time options available)

The role also includes a commission structure based on bookings you generate, including:

• corporate and private hire bookings

• new promoter nights

• successful in-house events

Total earning potential can reach £40k–£50k+ depending on performance.

Working Pattern

Hybrid working.

You’ll spend time:

• working from home

• attending some events in the evenings

About You
