laughatlocal Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 LAUGH AT THE LOCAL ~ New stand-up comedy night ~ Venue - Local Authority Bar Eldon Street Sheffield (Next to Corporation Night Club) Date - Monday 28th April Times - 7.30pm Doors (curfew 10.30pm) Acts - Jim Smallman Best Debut Show Nominee - Leicester Comedy Festival Awards 2009. Jim is an amusingly tattooed, manic depressive former child prodigy with tall tales of his wrongness coming out of his ears. And yet he used to be so nice...what on earth happened? This is his story so far. Jim has performed in Singapore, Denmark and Los Angeles as well as all over the UK. His stories are brutally honest, always true, and often unbelievable - and have won him an army of fans all over the world. 'Wonderfully gritty... his struggles with mental illness and alcoholism make for impressive comic pickings' (The Guardian) 'It's obvious that Jim Smallman is a natural-born compere. He has such an easy rapport with the audience and tells his tales with a fluidity and energy that keeps everyone attentive' (Chortle). Bethany Black Decidedly dark and deliciously different – a one way ticket to a world you never knew existed. Despite being 'unique', she's warm and chatty and has built a cult following for her brand of confessional comedy. 'Outstanding comic, laughs just keep on coming' (Channel 4). COMPERE - SPIKY MIKE Spiky Mike is founder of Funhouse Comedy and resident compere at all the clubs, as well as performing paid gigs at clubs around the country for respected promoters, such as Agraman and Mirth Control. He also compered to 17,000 people on the main stage at the Nottingham Distortion Festival 2002, which featured Green Day and Iggy Pop. Finalist in The Weakest Link! Quotes: "Hey man that was really good" Tom Stade "Quality material" Ian Cognito "Badger Boy!" Ross Noble "Utter comic genius. Guaranteed Perrier Award winner." No one yet.. "Is it time for Spiky Mike to get on his bike?" Anne Robinson. Price - £3 Adv, £4 on the door (includes FREE entry into following disco night for those 18yrs plus) Age - 16yr plus Ticket outlets - Corporation website plus normal Corp ticket outlets (sadly wont let me post a link yet as i've not made enough posts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
