About the event
Our headliner is the amazing Meryl O'Rourke. She’s a regular support for Frankie Boyle, including recently in London July ‘22. She’s supported him since 2010 at the Hammersmith Apollo. “Ripe with comedy. A unique perspective: sharp and dark, and refreshingly unsentimental” - Stephanie Merritt, Observer “As near perfect as you can find." - British Comedy Guide
Our opening act is the incomparable Tom King - The Stagefright Comedy ‘Crooked Smile New Act of the Year 2015’ and The Bury Met New Comedian of the Year 2015. He was also a semi-finalist in The Leicester Square Theatre new comedian competition 2015 and in March 2016 won Beat the Frog at Manchester’s famous Frog and Bucket comedy club because he was bored that day.
Finally, our middle act is Ben Turner - Barking Mad East Midland New Comedian of The Year 2019 runner-up and World One Liner Championships 2019 finalist. Featured in the Daily Telegraph’s ’25 Funny Jokes For Lockdown’. ‘Audience loved him. Got big laughs,’ – The Stand, Newcastle ‘Deliciously dark one-liners…..a very enjoyable set.’ – Nott’s Comedy Review.
