Comedy_09_web'A Night Of Comedy In Aid Of Malawi'

A fantastic line-up of world renowned comics on a Sunday night bill at the famous comedy venue, The Bedford.

Featuring:

DAVE GORMAN - Dave - whose hit Radio 4 series, GENIUS, starts its new BBC TWO incarnation on our TV screens this spring - may be widely acclaimed as the pioneer of documentary comedy but with this he's going back to his roots as a straight up, one-man-and-a-mic, stand-up whose "material is mercilessly sharp and original" (The Times.) "Gorman has seen his stock rise to such an extent that he's poised, as never before, to make the leap from cult figure to mainstream phenomenon." Daily Telegraph "The man is a true genius." The Mirror.

ROBIN INCE - Robin Ince started his comedy career as a writer, working on shows including Alistair McGowan's Big Impression, V Graham, Norton and Meet Ricky Gervais, his first of many collaborations with the Extras star. Ince appeared with Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Jimmy Carr in the 2001 Edinburgh show Rubbernecker, and regularly supports Gervais on tour. He also appeared in one episode of The Office, playing interviewee Stewart Foot.

SIMON EVANS - Simon Evans is a firmly established headline act on the circuit; he has performed sell out shows at the Edinburgh Festival for several years. He has many television and radio credits to his name and has performed extensively on the improv circuit. He dresses smartly, uses no bad language whatsoever... he can raise an eyebrow Jack Benny would have been proud of.Despite his fantastic air of aloofness bordering on pomposity he can (and does) have any audience in stitches. His material is clever. His delivery is superb. This man is brilliant!

MATT KIRSHEN - "A rollercoaster of comedy genius" The Scotsman. "His performance is the perfect mix of innocence and post-adolescent cynicism driven by infectious energy." Metro Life Magazine. "Excellent" The Stage. Killer gags Metro. Matt Kirshen is a definite one to watch, his innocent looks belying a sharp, surreal and often gloriously sick mind Metro. "A pocket sized dynamo" The Evening Standard. Matt recently returned from a very successful tour of the US where he picked up a huge following through competing on NBC's Last Comic Standing. His reportage also includes many home TV appearances on shows such as "The World Stands Up" and "The Late Edition".

Compere - TV's BEN NORRIS - Stand up legend! From his humble comedy beginnings as the promoter and compere of a monthly comedy club in Aldershot circa 1993, Ben Norris has become a regular headliner on the UK comedy circuit and has performed around the world in Prague, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa,Abu Dhabi,Dubai,Singapore,Manilla,Bangkok,Tokyo and the Isle of Wight. As well as regular appearances at music festivals like Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Ben has performed stand up on various TV shows including Mock the Week (BBC), The Stand Up Show (BBC), Gas (CH4), The Comedy Store (Paramount & CH5) and "The World Stands up" (Paramount). Ben currently regularly compares at The Comedy Store.

 

Sunday 7th June, 7.30pm - 10.30pm (Doors Open 6.30pm), The Bedford, Balham, London.
