The “Very Best in Stand Up” is back at Nantwich Civic Hall on November 1 with four more live comedy acts to cherish.
Compere and host for the evening is Bristol’s own Mark Olver, a mainstay at all the large comedy clubs.
Mark is also the “go to guy” on some of the national tours for some of the UK’s biggest names, having supported Russell Howard and Lee Mack.
The first act of the evening is Eddy Brimson, who closed Civic Comedy’s very first show back in 2010.
Since turning to comedy in 1999, Eddy has well and truly established himself on the live circuit.
Initially a sports writer, Eddy has seven books to his name, plus the 1998 documentary Tear Gas & Tantrums.
After 15 years in the business, he continues to be one of top comics with something to say.
Somalian-born Prince Abdi is a former primary school teacher who was once on Millwall FC’s books.
Now this comic genius, who has appeared on the ITV comedy series “Show Me The Funny”, has become a staple in the booking diaries of the major comedy venues such as The Comedy Store.
He’s played all over the world and his storied past gives him the basis for some fantastically original material.
The final act for the evening is the deliciously dark Carey Marx.
Carey was due play for us in Nantwich last year, but six weeks before the show he suffered a heart attack which became the subject of his acclaimed 2013 Edinburgh show “Intensive Carey”.
Instead of the appreciative, life-affirming story you might expect the show was so much more “classic Carey Marx” – quirky, unexpected stories with wicked twists and surreal backhands you didn’t see coming.
The show takes place on Friday November 1. Tickets are £10, available from Nantwich Civic Hall and www.civiccomedy.co.uk
Doors open 7.15pm, show from 8.15pm.
