Venue - Lescar, Sharrowvale Rd Date - thurs 21st June 8pm Tickets - £8 http://www.wegottickets.com/sheffieldcomedy RO CAMPBELL UK based Aussie Ro Campbell has spent 5 years honing his craft by gigging all over the UK, Ireland, Europe and beyond. He has performed at the last 5 Edinburgh Fringe festival's and made The Scotsman's pick of Best Jokes of The Fringe in 2009. He has also performed at Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Adelaide Fringe and has written for British TV and Radio. 12 people in the Outer Hebrides once saw him perform on BBC’s Gaelic language channel. “Effortlessly brilliant…” - The List, Edinburgh "Top notch" - Edinburgh Evening News “ Hugely entertaining and accomplished performer and funny as hell ” - The Skinny, Edinburgh, 2009 " He certainly shoots straight to the funny bone" Beat Mag, Adelaide Fringe " Cheeky, slightly dark humour" The Scottish Sun " Proper emphasis on punchlines, while still telling a tale...and given extra lift by the professional performance.’ Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk " The belly laughs kept coming so fast that tears were starting to flow." The Shetland Times "Hammers home the punchlines... showing the craft of a circuit pro" The Skinny, Edinburgh, 2008 VIDEO CLIP - SALLY ANNE HAYWARD Sally-Anne Hayward has been described as a charming and popular performer with a winning brand of autobiographical humour. She always manages to endear herself to any audience by taking them on a journey through her slightly eccentric world, including insights into the female psyche and her compulsion to send off spoof job applications. Sally has developed a unique brand of sweet young lady cum sharp-witted fox, wrapped in layers of eminently likeable stage persona. Currently performing at major venues up and down the country and regular compere at Jesters Comedy Club in Bristol, Sally is in high demand across the UK. As well as working as a comedian, Sally is an accomplished radio presenter and stage and television actress. "Hayward is a bubbly stream of comedy anecdotes…a delightfully chatty act…an immensely likeable stage manner." Chortle on line review "Small time country posh life versus young lady breaking into the stand-up circuit. Fabulous." - BBC London Live "This comedienne has developed a sharp, incisive style, making her a delight to watch…Has been singled out as a star for the future." Roar with Laughter on line review VIDEO CLIP - FERN BRADY Former comedy reviewer Fern Brady first tried stand up after the magazine she worked for suggested she write an article where she 'faked it' as a comedian. She enjoyed it so much that one year on, she embarked on a career as a stand-up. She made the final of So You Think You're Funny at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2011, where she was placed joint third. VIDEO CLIP - STEVE WILLIAMS "The Prodigy" - The Independent Chortle Award nominee and BBC New Comedy Award Finalist, Steve Williams is one of the most exciting and electrifying live performers of the new comedy generation. Steve never fails to surprise and engage audiences with his hybrid of bizarre stories, larger than life physicality, spontaneous improvisation and his off-the-wall take on everyday life. His three solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe have garnered considerable critical success. Steve premiered his first solo stand-up show Steve Williams: Excitable at the Edinburgh fringe in 2006, he returned in 2007 with Steve Williams: Binge Thinking, which was followed by a national tour of Edinburgh and Beyond. Steve’s TV credits include appearances Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Edinburgh and Beyond and The Comedy Store for Paramount and he recently appeared on Dave Gorman’s Absolute Radio Show (Absolute Radio) and 7 Day Sunday (Radio 5Live). Steve is also a core writer on Russell Howard’s Good News on BBC3. “Williams presents a very slick show.” Eddie Harrison, Metro “Steve Williams has proven his lauders correct and come of age as one of Britain’s best stand-up performers…effortless audience interaction, inventive and adaptable use of his material and some of the best natural improvisation you will see at the Fringe this year…an hour filled with a constant torrent of laughter.” Chris Williams, Fest "Seriously recommended viewing, immerse yourself in his world" - Manchester City Life Magazine Checkout Stve’s clip on BBC1 Michael McInytre Comedy Roadshow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
