sheffcomedy Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This Thursday at the Last Laugh Lescar see’s a great bill with John Elston, Allyson Smith and Richard Morton. Venue - Lescar Sharrowavle Rd Doors open 8pm, show 8 30pm. Tickets £8 each http://www.wegottickets.com/sheffieldcomedy JOHN ELSTON At just 22 years of age, Jonathan Elston is a fresh, punchy, gag-driven comic who combines sharp joke writing and quirky observations with a youthful likability that charms his audience and endears him to any room. However as with many top comics, success means is Jonathan rarely to be found out of a coach or car. The carbon footprint that Jonathan has created since his career began is big enough to have destroyed a football pitch sized hole in the Brazilian rainforest! Despite the havoc he is wreaking on the rainforests, Jonathan is steadfast in his focus and continues to be one of the most sought after young acts working the circuit. "A young comic with incredible talent and natural warmth" The Guardian ALLYSON SMITH Since 2000, Allyson June Smith has been tickling Canada’s comedy scene from the moment she put down the chalk brush and picked up a mic. Playing to packed rooms has become like another day in the classroom for this former schoolteacher. With credits including her own hour long Comedy special on Canadian television, writing for CBC Radio’s hit show The Debaters, and now her third showing this July in the prestigious Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival. She has performed for a wide range of audiences from corporations to the most rural gatherings. Whether she was the compere, support or headliner, she has delighted them all. Allyson has now arrived on the UK comedy scene. Using her sassy blend of in-your-face stand-up and hilariously insightful commentary, she has already begun working for most of the UK’s major promoters. In addition, she is currently the supporting act for Stewart Francis’s 2012 theatre tour. It is her genuinely unique sense of humor and excellent performance timing that has made audiences laugh. This teacher-cum-comic is ready to show international audiences why she is a sought-after fan favourite. Allyson have appeared at the Just For Laughs Festival three times. As well as being nominated for the 2012 Canadian comedy awards for best female stand up comedian. "Allyson Smith reminds me of a younger, prettier, funnier me. Now if you'll excuse me, the ladies from my bridge club have arrived." STEWART FRANCIS RICHARD MORTON Described as "possibly Newcastle's finest export since the famous brown ale" and certainly more consistent than its football team, Richard Morton has nailed the twin talents of musicianship and comedy into one perfectly suited package. This livewire Geordie comic is full of surprises and manic energy, bounding around the stage like an overgrown child on a massive sugar rush. A former winner of Time Out Comedian of the Year, Richard Morton’s amiable manner belies a razor sharp talent and with some acutely witty and well-defined and varied observations, he tackles a plethora of life's situations in gags, tales, and some of his hilarious and occasional risque songs. No subject matter is clearly safe from being put to a tune. "Comic genius"- The Daily Express "A great stand up. Audiences laughed longer and louder at Morton than any other act on the Fringe." - Sunday Times "His hilarious songs give musical comedy a good name" - The Guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
