Following a series of sell-out shows at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, last summer, comedy legend Bobby Davro hits the road for his first tour in over a decade.

Everything Is Funny If You Can Laugh At It is a masterclass in stand-up from one of Britain’s best loved comedians at the top of his game

“…a polished performance of predictably old-fashioned but expertly delivered gags.” – The List

..if more modern comedians had a fraction of his showmanship, the circuit would be a jollier place …spot on delivery… bulletproof professionalism” Chortle

Bobby Davro says: “With the laughter still ringing in my ears from the month of Edinburgh gigs, I thought I’d take the show on the road and catch up with my fans around the country. I hope to prove two things – You’re never too old for a good gag and everything is funny if you can laugh at it. So if you like to laugh, come along – and don’t forget, if you’re on the frontline, you’re in the punchline!

Over the past four decades, Bobby Davro has appeared on a huge variety of television shows, his popularity was at its highest during the mid-1980s with his own Saturday night ITV shows, Bobby Davro on the Box, Bobby Davro’s TV Annual and Bobby Davro’s TV Weekly.

He also made appearances on the popular comedy impressions sketch show Copy Cats. He then went on to play Vinnie Monks in BBC’s EastEnders in 2007 and has appeared on a host of reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing On Ice and Celebrity Come Dine With Me.

He has headlined for over fifteen years in pantomime across the country and his live stand-up shows are legendary!

Spain’s Best Export Ignacio Lopez is on a mission to destroy himself, and build a better version; Leaner. Smarter. Funnier.

Join the star of Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Comedy Central, QI, House of Games, & more, for a riotously funny exploration of vices, intrusive thoughts, and self improvement.

Expect an armada of playful, wicked humour from the exotic outsider comedian, as he tries to identify his faults and how to improve; Is it worth going to the gym? Can you be addicted to technology? Do you know what happens if you give spiders drugs?

Ignacio uses his razor-sharp wit, and effortless charm to tackle these questions and a bunch of other irrelevant horsesh*t.

It’s clear what toxic masculinity is, but what does positive masculinity look like in a modern context?

Josh Berry intends to provide some sort of answer to this question, through his many impressions and characters, as he tells the tale of being his best friend’s best man earlier this year.

From routines on how to organise a ‘progressive stag do’, to the amusing difficulties men seem to face around positive emotional expression, the show is an opportunity for us to have a ruddy good laugh at a concept that could do with being taken a bit less seriously.

There’s also a routine about how much Josh hates runners and refuses to become one.

N.B. Josh has since entered a half marathon.

EXTRA DATE ADDED DUE TO PHENOMENAL DEMAND

Champion of the Black Country, Jonny Cole is one of the most unique, exciting and hilariously funny acts to come out of the Black Country and unstoppable force in musical comedy.

Comparisons to Jasper Carrott and Tim Minchin (depending on the reviewers age) tell only half the story.

One of the freshest and funniest new comedians to hit the comedy circuit in the last few years. Jonny Cole is packing out comedy clubs everywhere.

With his individual patter and commentary on life, coupled with his original songs, he is being described as a ‘breath of fresh air’. Never forgetting his ‘Black Country’ roots Jonny has written original songs about life, love and loss (his Xbox) with hilarious results.

Back by popular demand after two sell-out shows at the Gatehouse.

As a society we love stuff, it’s a statement about who we are and who we want to be. But apparently, this message is at odds with the looming environmental crisis.

We’re now struggling to balance these worlds, to focus on the things that bring us real connections and nourish the soul.

Award-winning Comedian and Award-winning Product Designer, Scott Bennett is desperately trying to cleanse his life of stuff, but is this even possible anymore?

Tour support for Mickey Flanagan, Rob Brydon Jason Manford, and John Bishop. The star of Live at the Apollo, The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Ultimate Choice and Chortle Best Club Comedian Nominee 2022.

“Without doubt live comedy’s best kept secret” Evening Standard

“Great material, great delivery, a very funny man,” Rob Brydon

“Brilliantly funny, a joy to watch” Chris Ramsey

“Bennett is a stand-up in fine control of his material, his delivery and his image, a masterclass in adding a frisson of ‘in the moment’ unpredictability to otherwise tightly written routines” Chortle

MC HAMMERSMITH is a multi-award winning hip hop comedian. He writes and performs original hip hop comedy tracks, and performs improvised freestyle rap comedy based on audience suggestions.

He is the world’s leading rapper to ever emerge from the ghetto of middle class west London. Now based in Edinburgh, he performs across the UK and internationally.

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it.

He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes…and there’s a bit about tomatoes.

You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff.

A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense.

WARNING

*contains jokes from the start.

“He’s fast, absurd and very Funny” Radio Times

‘No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride’ The Guardian

Back by popular demand!
