The Comedy Store at The Forum sees more fun, frolics and foolishness with a delightful blend of four of the finest acts currently on the stand-up circuit.
Adam Bloom is one of the most original and innovative comics on the circuit. A multi-award-winning star who, through a sprinkling of sparkling one-liners and twisted leaps of trains of thought, provides some of the sharpest comedy around. TV appearances include The Jack Docherty Show, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and The Stand-Up Show. Expect a barn-storming set of dazzlingly original material.
The Raymond and Mr Timpkins Review form a gleefully tacky, slapstick review based around miming out snatches of lyrics from a fast-cut montage of songs – taking every line to the ridiculously literal. The simple-minded wackiness makes for a delightfully undemanding and often surprising set of beautiful idiocy.
Down-to-earth Sheffield bloke Tom Wrigglesworth is a fine stand-up who excels in seeing the funny side of everyday life. His set is littered with stylish one-liners and twisted tales which reveal an inherently dark humour. With an innate and skilful ability to work with any audience; Tom instantly establishes a winning rapport and makes it all appear simply effortless.
Wilson Dixon is the hilariously oddball country singer comedy creation of Jess Griffin. Combining clever wordplay and some ingeniously funny musical numbers, Wilson Dixon provides gentle, fresh and irreverent comedy and is fast becoming a cult act on the comedy circuit.
Tickets are on sale now from the Origins ticket desk at The Forum, 01603 727922 or Theatre Royal Box Office on 01603 630000.
