Robbie Bonham has been doing standup for a couple of years now, only getting into it at the ripe old age of 33. He now plays regularly in the Capital Comedy Club, The Comedy Cellar and various other Dublin gigs, and last
year was voted the Capital Comedy Club's best support act. He was also in the final of the Bulmers Comedy festival for the second year running. He recently played to a sellout audience in the Empire Comedy Club in Belfast. This year he will be performing his third string of fringe shows in the Kilkenny Festival.

Scottish born Comic David Whitney got his first gig at the Friars Club Beverly Hills as a result of a series of lies that meant he couldn't get out of it. It went very well and on his return home decided take it up full time, only to find Londoners a lot harder to please than the Yanks. Since then he has be performing prolifically all over the UK in pubs, clubs, theatres and corporate gigs for Coutts Bank and Tottenham Football Club (whom he is not a fan as Aberdeen is the football team of his choice). David’s material is a fine blend of political satire and pure filth, making him the thinking persons comic. So long as that person is thinking of something really dirty at the
time.

"His trajectory is perfect. He squeezes the laughter out of audiences. He is the squeeze person." (Eddie Izzard)
 

Self styled 'Rock & Roll Poet and comedian Paul B. Edwards is a tireless gigger and his unique brand of songs/jokes/poems and general banter (His act is a treasure chest packed to bursting with little gems" ) have made him a great favourite in the comedy clubs of the UK. He promotes and hosts his own monthly shows,  is a regular at the Jongleurs Comedy Clubs and is a favourite at festivals including Reading and V Festival Leeds.  Corporate clients include Round Table, Rotary Club, Siemens, Hertfordshire Constabulary and British Telecom

Al Pitcher - 2nd October 2010

Doors open 8.30pm - 9.00pm Start.  Ticket Price £10.00

 

"The Al Pitcher Picture Show" - New Zealander Al Pitcher started comedy in 1999, reaching the finals of the So You Think You’re Funny? new talent competition. He then decided to capitalise on his growing reputation – by becoming a vegetable picker in Naas, Ireland. A couple of years later he returned to stand up, making the final of the Daily Telegraph Open Mic awards.

Since then he has become a regular fixture at the UK’s top clubs. In 2004 he made his solo Edinburgh fringe debut, and now has four full-length shows to his name.

He was invited to appear at Montreal’s prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in 2007 and has performed at both the Melbourne and New Zealand comedy festivals.

Pitcher was also the voice of the Fosters Lager commercials, has written for BBC Radio 1 and is an experienced TV warm-up.

‘Pitcher sits firmly in the improvising, rambling, freewheeling comedy camp inhabited by the likes of Ross Noble and Eddie Izzard. However, unlike both of them, Pitcher is one of the best-kept secrets on the comedy scene. He is a diamond as yet not hewn from the circuit rock. But it's only a matter of time’ Time Out 2008

‘Catch him whilst he’s cheap!’    
Evening Standard

‘He lives dangerously on stage, taking risks and setting up challenges many would fear to face. For that he deserves the applause he got.’         
Theatre Review (NZ)

‘Hilarious…Al Pitcher is my new favourite comedian. He is a huge talent.’
Edfringe.com

‘I was laughing uncontrollably. This very funny man can take you on a journey into the realms of almost insanity without leaving your chair.’

Green is a stand-up audience's dream; his off-the-cuff jokes are so good they could have been scripted, and his clever prepared material is delivered so nonchalantly it could have been improvised...an explosion of comedy that left everyone in stitches" FIVE STARS Three Weeks (May 2009)
