WITH ROBERT WHITE, JOSEPH EMSLIE, LUCY FREDERICK & ASH FIRTH HOSTING!
Headlined by the brilliant Robert White! Robert worked his way up the stand-up scene, starting in 2004 and found early success as a finalist in the prestigious Hackney Empire competition 2006, he has gone from strength to strength and in 2010 won the Malcolm Hardee main award at the Edinburgh Festival. He now is a sought after act who regularly performs in big clubs, little clubs, those in-between, theatres and festivals around the UK and abroad, after gaining 2nd Place Britain’s Got Talent – 2018. He divides his time between comedy in gigs, tours and whatever else comes up, writing; songs & musicals and talking to people about autism.
‘Just one of the funniest performers I’ve ever seen, I’ve never laughed like that!’
David Walliams
‘He may sound like a niche act, but the musical comedian has managed to garner a wide appeal with his chaotic style and improvised musical skills.’
The Sun
‘ … souped-up risqué keyboard-based songs, waspish asides and neurotically charged camperie from a hyperactive man-child who is among the most original of this year’s Fringe…. Superb’
Telegraph
“surprisingly original, and funny…. exactly the sort of act who should win Britain’s Got Talent.”
The Daily Mail
Opening the show is Joseph Emslie! Joseph is a comedian, writer and actor, hailing from Stratford-Upon-Avon, now residing in South West London.
Joseph regularly performs on the London circuit and is “definitely a name to keep tabs on.” (Bruce Dessau). “Radiating comic innocence and making great play on his schoolboy looks” (Chortle) his anecdotal and self-deprecating style of comedy secured him a place in the final of the Amused Moose Comedy’s National New Comic Final Award in 2017, the semi-final of the So You Think You’re Funny 2017 competition, The Laughing Horse New Act Of The Year Final in 2018 and he secured the runner up Union Jack Radio award at the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2021. In 2022 he also made it to the Final of The Musical Comedy Awards.
With support from Lucy Frederick! Lucy is a comedian, actor and writer based in South East London. She started out training to be an actor at the prestigious East 15 Acting School, graduating in 2003. Since then she has worked in all sorts of professions such as education, animal nutrition, fat modelling and backing dancing. But now she’s doing stand up comedy. Which is nice. She is a regular on the comedy circuit having appeared at The Top Secret Comedy Club and is also a resident MC at South London’s friendliest comedy club; The Poodle Club.
When not on the stand up circuit, Lucy is becoming well known at the Edinburgh Fringe for her ‘eye wateringly honest’ shows about the human condition.
Your compare for the evening is Essex funnyman Ash Frith!
