sheffcomedy Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The Last Laugh Comedy Club has a corker of a bill this Thursday down at the Lescar. Hosting is geordie comic Andy Fury, joining him is Pierre Hollins, Tony Cowards and Richard Morton. Venue - Lescar, Sharrowvale Rd Date - thurs 26 April 8pm Tickets - £8 plus booking fee 80p http://www.wegottickets.com ANDY FURY Despite starting comedy out of “sheer boredom” just two years ago, Andy Fury has impressed a lot of people in a short space of time with a wonderful mix of self-deprecating dark jokes and off the wall surrealism. Despite a laidback stage presence that sometimes borders horizontal, he’s as hard-working as he is funny and winning the Hilarity Bites New Act Of The Year 2010 title has rounded off the last 12 months for Andy perfectly, after wowing audiences the length and breadth of the UK. “Brilliant… The next Pub Landlord of comedy” Hexham Courant “A very funny man with a big future ahead of him” Corby Radio “Amiable and genuinely entertaining” Floatation Suite “Effortlessly funny” Giggle Beats Whallop! TONY COWARDS Tony is a rapidfire gag merchant with an arsenal full of one-liners, for laughs-per-minute he's a tough act to beat! His quick wit has made him a sought after act and compere by comedy clubs and promoters across the UK and even for gigs worldwide. Something of a Twitter sensation, Tony's jokes turn up in all sorts of places, from greetings cards to The Times newspaper, even if you've never heard of him there's a good chance that you'll have laughed at one of his gags. "The Punosaurus" - List magazine, Edinburgh "A beaut of a one-liner merchant" - http://www.londonisfunny.com "The best joke writer around" - James Mullinger, Comedy Editor, GQ Magazine PIERRE HOLLINS A genuine unsung hero of comedy, Pierre Hollins has been wowing them in the aisles for too many years for you and him to mention. Pierre’s only other ‘proper jobs’ were washing dishes in the House of Commons, labouring on a gas pipe line in Qatar, in the Middle East, and teaching drama to the mentally ill. He has been an audience favourite on the comedy circuit for many years, and has headlined at clubs throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. His relaxed amiability is defined by a compelling conversational style and absurd guitar posturing. His 'songs' are jokes that rhyme, set to a guitar backbeat, never travelling down the easy route of song parodies. He covers topics from love and hate, to sex and politics with a totally original voice, delivering his material with charm and irrelevance. ‘Always enjoyable and often inspired’ (The Source). 'An unsung hero of new comedy. Don’t miss this true professional at work. Bloody funny.’ TIME OUT ‘A crowd favourite with a stage presence and delivery style that is the envy of many of his peers.’ HONG KONG TIMES ‘Wild and wonderful.’ VENUE ‘A ‘must see’...’ THE GUARDIAN ‘Hugely talented, hugely experienced, comedy maestro.’ KOMEDIA ‘Should be made the Mayor of a small village.’ SHANGHAI CITY WEEKEND ‘Comedy rock and roll heaven.’ HOT TICKETS "Crazy, man!" NME RICHARD MORTON Stand up comedian, singer, songwriter and Time Out Comedy Award winner. With his comedy songs, Richard has built up a formidable reputation as a live act, and completed several major UK tours supporting the likes of Jack Dee, Lee Evans, Jo Brand, Eddie Izzard and Phill Jupitus, and is a founder member of The Comedy Store’s Cutting Edge Show. ‘His hilarious songs give musical comedy a good name’ – The Guardian ‘A great stand up. Audiences laughed longer and louder at Morton than any other act on the Fringe’ – Sunday Times ‘Leaves the audience rolling with laughter’ – The Scotsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
