On The Edge Comedy w/ Sara Barron

@ Caroline of Brunswick
Admn: £6

Hello again comedy friends! This time we have headliner Sara Barron.

Sara is an American writer turned standup living in London. While Stateside, she wrote for Vanity Fair, published two essay collections, and earned the role of host for the hit U.S. storytelling show, The Moth. This, in turn, gave her the bug for live performance. It also introduced her to her (British) husband, which prompted an eventual move to the UK. She’s since started standup. Her work has featured most recently on The Guilty Feminist, BBC R4Xtra, and Dave Gorman’s “Modern Life is Goodish”. This August, she made her debut at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Joining Sara this evening we have Andy Gleeks, Ben Pope, Vic Melody and James Lillis.

Harry and Chris Save the World

@ Brighthelm Church & Community Centre

Harry and Chris are the hottest comedy-rap-jazz duo out there. They might also be the only one. After sell-out runs of their 2016 and 2017 shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, Harry Baker and Chris Read have been featured three times on ‘The Russell Howard Hour’ (Sky), and tour regularly around the UK. Their songs range from panda repopulation to coming of age to Robot Wars, and they bring love and laughter to a world that needs both more than ever.

“Amazing, fabulously entertaining” – Jonathan Ross

“A wonderful blend of infectious songs packed with sharp, clever wordplay… Harry and Chris’ family friendly set leaves the audience with a smile on their face and the catchy tunes stuck in their head for the rest of the day.”
★★★★★ The Sunday Post

“The numbers are upbeat and feel-good, and all of them are about surprising and inventive subjects or points of view.”

Fawlty Towers Chrismas Comedy Dinner Show in Brighton

@ Jury Inn Hotel
Admn: 3 Course Christmas Lunch.

Fawlty Towers Christmas Special:

It's Christmas at Fawlty Towers, but Basil's finding it a challenge to get into the Christmas spirit: He booked a father Christmas who hasn't turned up (and Manuel is a very poor substitute); there's rat poison on the turkey so he has to turn to a local chef for help (while keeping the health inspector at bay); he still hasn't hung the decorations despite promising Sybil it would be done before dinner; and to make things worse, there's a German Christmas Market taking place next door. As long as no one mentions the war, surely everything will go smoothly...?

@ Komedia
Admn: 10.00

Inspired by newspaper articles cut out by the audience just minutes before curtain time. This is improv without tricks, gimmicks or games, just a live comedic exploration, through scenes and songs, of the secret heart of your city. It is the world only hinted at by your local paper but finally revealed by the comedic x-ray vision of The Maydays.

***** “…speed of thought and action, the ability to take on character and accent and the knack of making it all funny is a special gift, one The Maydays have in bucketfuls.” The Argus

The Maydays will be joined by all-female Drag King improvised comedy guest improv superstars, The Bareback Kings. They are not-so-regular women having a go at being regular dudes. If you like your comedy anarchic, real, and with a sock down its pants you’ll like The Bareback Kings. As seen at UCB New York and all across London.
