Advertisement
Two fantastic local comedians and our Fabulous headliner. Compered by Guy Lloyd. £12. Doors 7:30pm. With BEN NORRIS and special guests INGRID DAHLE & DAVID INGRAM
BEN NORRIS
Ben is a highly experienced and hugely well-respected stand-up. He’s been performing comedy since 1993 and is renowned for his incredibly relaxed stage persona and his innate ability to improvise as well as deliver sharply crafted material.
Ben’s TV credits include: “Mock the Week” (BBC 1), “The Comedy Store” (Paramount and Comedy Central), “Never mind the Buzzcocks” (BBC 2), “They think it’s all over” (BBC 2).
Ben has written and performed three solo shows at The Edinburgh Festival: ‘Sitting Room Only’, ’Mr Ambiguousness’, and ‘Benny on the Loose’.
Ben was Ed Byrne’s tour support for two of his UK tours and appeared at the Apollo, Hammersmith.
Ben acted in a play developed with the ‘Comedians Theatre Company’ called ‘The Last Minutes’ which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
REVIEWS:
The term “circuit legend” is overused, but Norris is one of a handful that have been headlining for more than two decades and rarely departs a stage without leaving it torn to shreds in his wake. A master of the craft, this will be an hour of the most polished stand-up you are likely to see - GQ Magazine
Ben Norris may not be a household name, but then very few really good comedians are these days. The London-based stand-up has been touring steadily for the past two decades, and he’s developed a razor sharp act in the process ; with the notable exception of Jason Byrne, it’s hard to think of anyone on the circuit who works an audience with as much skill and flair - The Scotsman
He’s one of the best headliners around, Ben Norris pretty much improv-ed his way through his 20-minute set, and did so beautifully - London is funny.com
INGRID DAHLE
Ingrid Dahle, a Norwegian comedian, is making waves on the British comedy circuit. Ingrid has captivated audiences with her unique style and infectious energy. Her solo shows have been well-received, showcasing her sharp wit and distinct comedic voice.
In addition to her solo work, Ingrid has supported acclaimed comedians like Jen Brister on her last two tours and Desiree Burch. Ingrid previously won the Brighton Comedy Award and being a finalist in several prestigious competitions, such as "So You Think You're Funny?" and the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, where she was the runner-up.
