“Without doubt live comedy’s best kept secret” The Evening Standard
Opening Act - Carl Jones
Midlands comic Carl Jones first hit the circuit in 2011 after winning the Nottingham Comedy Festival Best Newcomer in his first handful of gigs.
Since then, he’s gone on to reach the BBC New Comedy Award heats, the latter stages of numerous national new act competitions and gig at some of the top comedy clubs across the UK.
Away from the stage, Carl is a regular contributor to BBC Radio’s comedy output and his writing can regularly be heard on Newsjack, and, most recently, as additional writer on national institution The News Quiz on BBC Radio 4. Very Funny Chortle.co.uk
Our MC is Howard Read. As a Stand up Howard Read is brilliantly off the wall. Totally silly, songs and jokes and stupidness. The man is a buffoon of the highest order. And in this business that is a good thing.
