Tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 top comedians will be performing their best material for a Comedy Unleashed TV pilot. The line-up will be decided on the nights, from the following comics: Simon Evans, Andrew Doyle, Dominic Frisby, Tania Edwards, Mary Bourke, Phileo Huff, JoJo Sutherland, Leo Kearse, Nick Dixon, Tony Law, Preet Singh and all the way from Sweden, Tobias Persson. More comedians will be added to the bill – so it’s pot luck on the night. There are still some tickets left, see you there…
Comedy Unleashed is back next week, with 3 shows on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. You can book tickets here. Don’t book for all 3 shows – it is the same show just with a third of the socially distanced audience not so packed in. Guido will see you there. Ticket prices include a substantial pizza, with wine and/or beer!
UPDATE: Just heard that Geoff Norcott has been added to this evening’s line-up – he’s trying out some new material.
Nigel says “Dominic Frisby is a rarity in comedy these days — he openly supports the Brexit cause, and he’s actually funny.”
They discuss some of his classic videos and talk about Frisby’s new book.
London’s free-thinking comedy club, Comedy Unleashed, offered £10,000 for out-of-work stand-up comedians to contribute to a new YouTube show. They got an international response. Comedians from the US and a cartoonist from Austria have joined comedians from across the UK to contribute to the first show. So this is a chance for a lot of new faces to try their luck out their material…
Andy Shaw tells Guido “Live comedy may be dead for now, but free-thinking comedy is alive and well and has been given its own show”. Enjoy…
Toby’s stand up debut last week was pretty good. Judge for yourself…
He’s also announced today that the Free Speech Union’s website is now live and accepting members. Guido is on the advisory board…
Dominic Frisby nails it. Topical bit on the BBC and much else. Listen out for “Maybe Boris Johnson Could Be…”
