You Must Be Stoking comedy - Christian O'Connell & Simon Bligh

Event information

Two stars of comedy bring their work-in-progress shows ahead of Edinburgh Festival runs...

CHRISTIAN O'CONNELL:
A rare chance to hear from one of Britain's leading radio voices, away from his studio desk, and not in the morning... The star of Absolute Radio's breakfast show has eight prestigious Gold Sony Radio Awards to his name, and his voice gets millions of people out of bed every morning. Before his shows on Absolute, XFM, Fighting Talk on BBC Radio 5 Live, and TV programmes on Sky and ITV, Christian began stand-up comedy, and now he returns to the stage for his debut Edinburgh show. See it first here.
"Everything he has to say about manliness is witty and true." - David Tennant
"I have a new hero and his name is Christian O'Connell" - Lyn Barber, The Observer

SIMON BLIGH:
A headline comedian for two decades, Simon is a Perrier Award Nominee and former Time Out Comedy Award Winner. He works all over the UK and has toured to Australia, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Dubai, Chile, the Falkland Isles, The USA, Afghanistan, and recently he has been performing at the Comedy Store Mumbai.
On TV you may have seen him on "Friday Night Live" ITV1, "The Comedy Store" Channel 5, "Live at Jongleurs" Channel 5 or even on "The Harry Enfield Show" BBC 1 in the old days...
"A reliable pleasure, delivering well-honed, flannel free gags with a distinctive hyperactive approach" The Guardian
"A very funny man" Alan Davies

The night runs from 8pm-10:30pm and features both acts doing longer sets. Expect work-in-progress but at a fraction of the price of their Edinburgh Festival shows, and it'll save you a flight to Scotland. £6 here, or £8 on the door.

Look out for the other fortnightly shows this June/July, including improv troupe The Noise Next Door, Live At The Apollo's Andi Osho, and a special guest at our next show.
