Comedy @ The Ruby

More great comedians join your affable resident MC , Nik Coppin, in early January to get the New Year off to a jovial start.

A night of hilarity is ensured with a full line-up consisting of very funny comedians Matt Price, Daisy Earl and James Danielewski.

Doors open: 7pm, show starts: 8pm

Matt Price

“Price is a terrific comedian and wonderful storyteller …. His Cornish burr becomes the whole bestiary of appalling characters that populate this gripping tale that engenders a gasp for every guffaw” - Kate Copstick, The Scotsman

"Price doesn’t skimp on the laughs. And when the laughs do come, they tend to be big, explosive ones, since they burst naturally from these characters. Whether you lack of assertiveness or not, you’ll find it hard to say ‘no’ to Price’s unaffected charm" - Steve Bennett, Chortle

"The jewel in the crown of the evening was headline act Matt Price. …straight from the heart – filled with bonhomie, an almost unnoticeable wanderlust and extraordinary candidness, underscored by a truly incisive comic brain" - South Wales Echo
