Next Comedy Night - 5th August

Well, we're into summer now as you can tell by the month if not the weather. Come along and shelter from the rain with us at our next comedy night on Tuesday 5th August. We have three quality acts on offer this time round. Our headliner is Mark Rough.

Mark Rough has been described as the most refreshing Comedian on the UK cabaret circuit. With his fast paced and gag filled set, Mark has been wowing audiences all over the world. Unusually for the mainstream comedy scene, Mark writes all of his own material and this, along with his chirpy manner has seen him perform over 2000 shows in his eight years as a professional Stand Up Comic.

Based in the North West of England, though hailing originally from Sunderland, he has seen his act work in everything from pubs and clubland and is now a big hit on the after dinner circuit. Mark's career has taken him to selling out small theatres throughout the UK and he is working on extending his fan base further south.

After his initial success on the comedy circuit Mark swiftly moved into more traditional venues, though modern and inventive, he is a joke teller.

In 2006 Mark, released his debut live DVD "Have You Ever Had It Blue" to critical acclaim. The show was filmed before a sold out crowd at Blackburn's King George's Hall.

Also appearing will be Richard Swan. Mr Richard Swan is an individual who writes and performs comedy.

Based in the North-West of England, Mr Swan has travelled the length and breadth of Britain playing such venues as The Stand Glasgow, The Frog & Bucket Manchester and numerous venues at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Finally, a treat for those of you who, like me, enjoyed Rod Shepherd, Conspiracy Theorist, we have the latest character from the stable of Jeff Downs - Poxy, Urban Painter and Decorator. Poxy will be filling our special Showcase slot.

I look forward to seeing you all there.
