‘A must see’ Rolling Stone ‘A big dollop of hilarity’ Sunday Post
Ever since Day One we have proudly championed new and emerging talent. For our 25th we have carried that on by booking two of the acts who have impressed us the most on the last couple of years. Jules O’Brian performs around the country, telling anyone who will listen about ageing disgracefully, body hang–ups, parenting, and dating. This former teacher’s relaxed, chatty style, crowd interaction and warmth, all served with a sardonic wit, make her a natural crowd pleaser.
‘Funny as f***‘ Mama Life Magazine
Is it really an Off The Rails gig without Mick Ferry? Whether he’s running with a scatterbrained idea, an audience suggestion or dipping into his extensive mental files of absolute, top drawer gags and routines, the end result is a barrage of laughter from a very happy audience and that is what we are all about.
★★★★★ Mirror “Absolute legend” Jason Manford “As good as it gets” Big Issue
Off The Rails Comedy Club is programmed, promoted and produced by Comedy In A Van and held at The Royal George, Greenfield.
