sheffcomedy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 This Friday & Saturday at the Sheffield City Hall we have another amazing line up of comedy. Toby Foster hosts another triple headlining bill with John Ryan, Dana Alexander and Pierre Hollins. All rounded off with DJ Foxy's infamous cheesy disco. Venue – Memorial Hall, Sheffield City Hall Doors 7pm, show 8 30pm. Tickets - £16 / £10 NUS - 01142210317 http://www.lastlaughcomedy.com JOHN RYAN John Ryan uses his acerbic wit and seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of the world around him to keep any audience on their toes. His East End Irish upbringing gives him the rare ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. No stranger to either the strange or the norm, he will put an amusing spin on any subject matter going. John has a reputation for thinking on his feet and confidently and cleverly adapting his show to any audience. "Upbeat, interesting and unique" - Carlton TV London "Genius 5 *****" - Daily Telegraph DANA ALEXANDER One of Canada’s most outspoken and hilarious women has packed her bags and is now in the UK. The only black female comedian on the circuit in Canada, Dana's comedic style is both refreshing and irreverent, drawing her material from her diverse lifestyle, her gay friends and her crazy Jamaican family. This will be a lady not to be missed. Originally from Edmonton, Dana began her comedy career at the tender age of 18 and quickly became a regular fixture in Canadian Comedy Clubs, universities and festivals. She was voted in the “Best Discoveries” by Toronto’s renowned Now Magazine in 2006 and has since been included in their "Best Of" issues three years in a row, easily making her one of Canada’s hottest emerging young comedians. Her Canadian TV credits include Halifax Comedy Festival (CBC), Video on Trial (Much Music), women’s only network The Slice Network and The Comedy Channel (XM Satellite Radio) and this past year her national half hour comedy special was aired on CTV. 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).He ‘should be made the mayor of a small village’ (Shanghai City Weekend). 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!"
