April 9th Line-up

This line-up has remained static for about 4 weeks now, so it should go ahead as planned, I reckon!

• Matt Hollins - The night's headliner, as former winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (2004), a title that has also been awarded to the likes of Johnny Vegas, Mitch Benn, Jason Manford and Rhod Gilbert. Matt's style has been described as mixing a range of original subject, off the wall stories and puns. I met him a couple of weeks ago, and he's a very nice chap too.
• Okse - Our MC for the evening runs, and hosts, a comedy club in Leamington. Loads of experience with over 5 years of stand-up work, with a reputation fro being a likeable and popular guy. A fantastic storyteller with a world of imagination and humour and, of course, a great MC!
• Rob Gee - Some of you will recognise Rob as the tall half of Rob & SKatz, who headlined here back in January. His solo work is driven by his phenomenal ability as a performance poet ("but don't worry, he's not sh*t", said Jimmy Carr). Definitely one to look forward to for something rather special, and a little different I would imagine.
• Ben Davids - Ben has been on the comedy scene for several years, and has an incredibly well-written blog at http://therealbendavids.blogspot.com/. His stand-up work is of an equally high standard, delivered in a laid-back style.
• Johnny Sorrow - What can be said of Johnny "Showaddywaddy" Sorrow. According to his facebook page, "Depending on who you ask Johnny "Showaddywaddy" Sorrow is possibly the Greatest or Worst comic turn you`ve never seen! " A Black Country legend in the making, whose career has been blighted by misfortune. As Johnny himself says, "It's not all about laughter".

Rumour has it that there may be an extra act on the night, of top-drawer quality, but that's not quite 100% confirmed as yet, so just come along and see for yourselves. Only £8 for 5 (possibly 6) comedians...2.5 hours of laughter...one night of delicious comedy...only a fool (or a black horse) would miss it!
