The Painted Grin Valentines Comedy Night

Event information

So it's Valentine's Day this Tuesday, and what better way to express your love for your partner than to unite with them in free laughter? What's that? You're single, lonely and desperately embittered about the whole affair? Well what better way to forget your crippling inability to relate to the opposite gender than a free night of top-rate stand-up comedy?

THAT'S RIGHT! The Painted Grin comedy night is back this Tuesday, FREE as ever, at Benny’s. Here's the fantastic line-up, featuring SEVEN terrific comedians:

DANIEL SIMONSEN - Tour support for Simon Amstell & 2008 So You Think You're Funny? Winner

JOHN HASTINGS - 2010 Canadian Comedy Best Newcomer Award Nominee & Comedy Network 'One to Watch'

TOM GOODLIFFE - 2009 Beat The Frog World Series Winner
“This accountant-turned-stand-up’s material is as sharp as a tax dodge… he might have a hit on his hands.” (The Scotsman)

GARY TRO
"Simply inspired" (Theatre Bubble, *****)
"A likeable stand up...does a great line in anecdotal, narrative based stand up" (WhatOnStage, *****)

OLI BETTESWORTH
“Bitterly funny” (Jon Aird, Senior Producer BBC Comedy)
“Full of potential, like a young Stewart Lee. It’s good to find a young comedian you can listen to and admire, as well as laugh at. I predict big things.” (David Schneider, comedian)
