Our regular comedy night at The Arc, Barnstormers Comedy, presents a line-up of three top acts from the London comedy circuit and beyond: many of them Comedy Store regulars.
As ever, MC Kevin Previous will also be on hand to oversee the proceeds. It's the perfect tonic to end the working week!
Originating in East Sussex, Barnstormers Comedy have been presenting stand-up shows since 2001. In that time, the number of regular promotions has steadily increased to the point where Barnstormers are now establishing gigs nationally as well as throughout the South East.
Notable acts that have previously graced the Barnstormers stage include Sarah Millican, Lee Nelson, Dominic Holland, Milton Jones, Mitch Benn, Danny Bhoy, Jo Caulfield, Boothby Graffoe, Jeff Green, Andy Parsons, Lucy Porter, Rob Rouse, Paul Zenon and many more.
February's line-up:
Paul Rickets
Paul Ricketts is an award-winning comic who since 2005 has been entertaining audiences across the world. His intelligent humour focuses not only on sharp observations from life, but also racial, cultural and satirical subjects, intermingled with strange tales of ordinary madness. Sometimes silly, serious or surreal, sometimes autobiographical, political or near the knuckle - but always funny!
Paul Pirie
A brilliant natural comedian, Paul Pirie comes packed full of energy and uses every ounce to maximum effect, with superb delivery. Paul was awarded Scottish Comedian of the Year in 2006 and since then has gone from strength to strength.
Paul’s career has encompassed TV, film and radio alongside his skills as a stand up, and he is now one of the biggest Scottish acts on the UK Comedy Circuit. Paul has had a consecutive succession of sell out shows at The Glasgow Comedy Festival and has also performed at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Leith Festival.
Dan Evans
'Skilful and surreal' The Scotsman
'Original and inventive' The Times
Dan Evans first appeared on the comedy circuit in 1994, shortly afterwards leaving a promising career as one of East Anglia's leading office menials to go full time.
Over the past decade his twisted logic has delighted the nation, helping it through the dark days of the death of HRH The Queen Mother and the uncertainties of 21st century property prices.
As well as playing clubs and universities throughout the UK, Dan has gigged in Holland, Germany, Dubai and Ireland as well as being part of the sell-out Screaming Blue Murder Cabaret and Avalon Comedy Zones at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Dan's TV and radio appearances include Brain Candy (BBC3 & 2), Channel 5 at The Store, Channel 5 Comedy Zone and the Radio 2 Stand Up Show.
He writes too, with many credits including The Very World of Milton Jones (R4 - Sony Award Winner), Rory Bremner Who Else? (CH 4), The Eleven O'Clock Show (CH 4), The Live Floor Show (BBC 1), Revolver (BBC 1) and The Joan Rivers Position (CH 5)
