sheffcomedy Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 The Last Laugh Comedy Club returns to the Lescar this Thursday with a cracking bill of comedy. MC Danny McCoughlin is joined by Chris McCausland and last laugh favourite Eddy Brimson. Date – Thurs 17 May – Doors 8pm Venue – Lescar, Sharrowvale Rd Tickets - £8 (plus 80p booking fee) http://www.wegottickets.com DANNY MCCOUGHLIN Quick wits and sharp material have seen Danny McLoughlin quickly establish himself on the circuit. With performances in the prestigious Big Value Comedy Show during Edinburgh Festival 2009 & 2010 he has since progressed to performing regularly at some of the biggest gigs in the country whilst also supporting acts such as Sean Lock, Micky Flanagan & Al Pitcher on their UK tours. “McLoughlin’s main weapon is his audacity: he’s so bold that he can recite an advertising jingle or tuck into a snack, and still get plenty of laughs” Chortle.co.uk CHRIS MCCAUSLAND Fast rising star, Chris McCausland is the winner of the C4 Creative Diversity Award and appears on Miranda Hart's Unwrapped on BBC2, ITV4's Stand Up Hero and on two series of Comedy Central's The Comedy Store. In addition to achieving a top three placing in pretty much every national competition within his first year of stand-up, Chris was recently awarded the highly regarded C4 Creative Diversity Award with special commendation for his writing and the diverse range of material. In his live work this highly acclaimed, multi award-winning comedian performs both nationally and internationally at all the country’s major comedy clubs and as far afield as Mumbai and Dubai. Chris is the only professional comedian in the UK, and probably even the world, who is blind. This makes his particular brand of observational comedy all the more unique as he chooses to talk about this only moderately; instead, priding himself on the variety and originality of his material. "A Must See!" Sunday Times "Always excellent!", The Times "Terrific material!", The Scotsman "Pure joy", The Stage "McCausland proves that funny is funny whether you can see it or not", The Guardian "He has a wit so dry he’d make Death Valley look positively verdant. He has an engaging personality that never threatens us and makes the humour a delight to listen to and finally he has the greatest gift any comedian can have; timing. He delivers his punchlines with all the precision of a Stealth Bomber... McCausland is the genuine article a comedian with a true talent!", The Edinburgh Guide "***** had the crowded venue in the palm of his hand", one4review EDDY BRIMSON Eddy Brimson is one of the UK circuits most in demand headline acts working regularly with all the leading promoters. Eddy is equally in demand worldwide. He played the first ever Altitude Festival in the French Alps in 2008 and the Sydney Cracker Festival in Australia. Eddy has also taken his comedy to such far flung places as Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. He once even played a gig naked, the promoter is still dealing with the legal cases. "Quite simply brilliant" - Sky "Eddy Brimson doesn't muck about" - Three Weeks. "The crowd loved him" - The Guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
