Join us for a playful evening of sharing humour in a cosy space. There will be a great lineup of comedians including:
Andy Askins – Fantastic Musical Headliner who will have you in stitches “If a Panda and Chuck Norris had a musical child”. A must see! We booked him a year in advance and he’s certainly worth the wait. We’re lucky to have him.
His expertly crafted routines are masterpieces littered with an eclectic mix of offbeat original comic songs and parodies. If a Panda and Chuck Norris ever had a child it still wouldn't match Andy Askins' efficiency at disarming people. You never quite know what he is going to say or which way it’s going to go it could be a story a one liner a song or even a poem! His setup lines rival most people's punchlines and watching him perform is an absolute blast.
Askins is also a firm favourite with the Armed Forces having entertained troops on several tours on Naval ships in ports around the world as well as military bases in conflict zones like Iraq Afghanistan Kosovo Sarajevo Italy Falkland Islands Indonesia even Somalia! Due to his dedication Andy was also one of a very select group to be awarded the ‘Afghanistan campaign medal’ a testament to his contributions which included several tours to soldiers operating on the frontline.
Beyond his comedic prowess Andy is a talented musician with a captivating voice. He brilliantly twists popular songs into hilariously perverse renditions. His darker material delivered with a wickedly dry sense of humour gets sweetened by his innocent and mischievous demeanour effortlessly holding every audience in the palm of his hand. The inventive and quirky songs complemented by inspired patter showcase his impeccable timing and inimitable modest self-deprecating style.
Carly O’Connor is a Welsh comedian who shares her unhealthy obsession with vegetables tales of marriage parenthood and anything her friends have begged her not to tell anyone. “A lovely polite smiley and dirty-minded lady”.
Gareth Neale - An energetic and self-deprecating story-teller offering a lighter take on the complex journey that is holding down a sensible job raising toddlers and staving off a probable oncoming mid-life crisis. Standup For Cider South West Comedian of the Year finalist 2022.
