Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and many more!
"Hilarious: nobody makes me laugh like Paul Tonkinson. Simply one of the greatest comics around. Go see him!" Michael McIntyre
A sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year, Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. With a unique and distinctive style, Tonkinson is noted for his effervescent physicality and skillful impressions, which bring alive exuberant, tender comic reflections on love, family and the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of 21st century living. A plethora of first class material, combined with tremendous charm and irrepressible, infectious energy make for quite a formidable talent.
“Excellent…extremely talented…brilliant” Time Out
“Charismatic, combines the visual trickery of a Lee Evans with the improvisational skills of Paul Merton. Brilliant characterisations, his face, a wonder of contortion” Independent
Opening the show is Joe Wells who’s writing career began when his first book 'Touch and Go Joe' about his experiences of OCD was published. He now writes for 'Have I Got News For You' and many more.
Joe has made a name for himself as a stand-up comic, writer and speaker and now focuses mainly on his unique brand of comedy and has been very successful in many comedy competitions.
"A star of the future... some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian in his 20s" The Guardian
Also appearing on the night is Joe Foster who won Foster's South Coast Comedian of the Year competition and is described as a "Reassuringly Confident" The List. We look forward to giving him the Coastal Comedy welcome.
A top night out to uplift the spirits and not break the bank. These shows are kindly sponsored by United Taxis and hosted by Adrienne Coles.
Over 18s only. Acts may change due to TV commitments.
