TV COMEDIANS COME TO ASHBY–DE–LA-ZOUCH
Funhouse Comedy brings another great line-up of top comedians to the Lyric Rooms, Ashby- de-la-Zouch on Thursday September 4th.
Topping the bill is Spaniard/Welshman Ignacio Lopez, who has appeared on ‘Live at The Apollo’, ‘Have I Got News For You’ and has performed for the Wales football squad and opened for James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers; with his unique brand of sarcastic observations and witty lines. He gives his audience a taste of what it's like to be the outsider, explaining cultural differences with hilarious results.
Opening the night will be dynamic New Zealander Jarred Christmas who has appeared on TV’s ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’, ‘Mock the Week’ and ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’ as well as ‘Pot Noodle’ adverts. With his confident onstage persona he takes the audience on a hilarious ride of laughs and gasps, with an edge of anger that manifests itself in his incredible rants against the small things in our lives. His childish sense of humour has never left him and his material is strong and distinctive, drawn from life experience and random happenings.
Also appearing will be Sally-Anne Hayward, a talented radio presenter, actor and comedian. She appeared in series 4 of BBC’s ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ and was also a warm-up for the likes of Channel 4’s ‘Deal or No Deal’. Confident, sharp and never a ‘girly, girl’, she learned to use her somewhat unctuous charm and disconcerting belligerence to get many more laughs than she could have imagined.
Compere for the night is the amiable and animated Spiky Mike.
