Old Bakery Comedy Cupboard
15 July 2017
The next instalment of comedy at Old bakery Studios!
Your Host MC Claire Rowley, 3 fantastic comedy acts and of course some top notch live music
Headlining - Harriet Dyer - Dyergnosis Murder
Harriet Dyer (BBC Live at The Fringe, BBC Radio 4 Extra and that idiot that didn't cook her chicken on ITV's Dinner Date) for purposes of this show is Detective Dyer. Expect the ending of lives, a menagerie of tomfoolery and tentacles. So many tentacles.
'Dyer exists in a joyful equilibrium, at the point where self-depreciation and a total embracement of oddness meet in utterly likeable harmony… Beautifully, brilliantly weird… Absolutely worth a watch" Broadway Baby
Support - Rob Barrett
Dudley-born, brain-tickling, word-mangling comic poet, humourist, and singer from North Cornwall. Combining clever word play, verse and song with satire, parody and audience participation, Rob deals with such important topics as squid, second homes, the weather in Scotland, distressed furniture and tuk-tuks. He has appeared at literature, arts and folk festivals all over the UK and Australia, and has published two book of poems, prose and songs.
"His head is well and truly located in 'Planet Barratt,' clearly a place of wonderfully bizarre inspiration" (Coventry Telegraph)
Support - Richard James
Along with a fondness for the absurd and the awkward details of life, Richard is an unashamed nerd for history and science fiction. The material that he uses stretches from topical humour to bizarre family stories to films and history.
Here are the opinions of some others to show he isn't making it all up; 'Intelligent Writing' - Eminent Banter
'Richard James is the smiling assassin: he is warm, charming and entirely likeable, but equally sharp and confident.' Stand Up For Comedy
Your Host for the evening - MC Claire Rowley
Claire's quirky take on being a woman of a certain age, parenthood and doing anything to avoid a routine existence, makes her laugh out loud funny! Short-listed South Coast Comedian of the Year 2017.
