TWICE AS NICE COMDEDY SUNDAY 9 JUNE: ABANDOMAN & IAN SMITHEDINBURGH PREVIEWS

Event information

Two extended preview sets from two of the comedy greats: Abandoman (Winner of Hackney Empire New Act of the Year, the Musical Comedy Awards and the 2012 Adelaide Fringe Festival’s Best Comedy Newcomer Award, Abandoman creates hilarious freestyle songs at lightening speed based on audience suggestions) and Ian Smith (an award-winning comedian (You Must Be Joking 2009) and star of BBC2 sitcom, ‘Popatron’ and ‘BBC Three at the Fringe’. At only 23, Ian has developed a reputation as one of the most exciting young acts on the circuit. In Edinburgh last year Ian was part of the double hander ‘Beckett and Smith’ which received four star reviews from The List and The Scotsman, who described the show as “probably one of the best free shows I have ever seen on the fringe.” He also compered the ‘Big Value Comedy Show – Late’ and the notorious ‘Late ‘n’ Live’ on Mondays).

Abandoman

2012 saw Abandoman support multi-platinum artist Ed Sheeran on his sell-out UK tour that culminated in two nights at London’s Brixton Academy; in February this year, Abandoman performed in Australia for the first time, where the show was nominated for the two comedy awards at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (“Best Comedy” and “Best Comedy Newcomer”) and won the latter.

Abandoman has appeared on BBC3′s Live at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, BBC2′s The Stephen K Amos Show, on Sky Arts as part of their Latitude coverage and many radio shows, including BBC Radio 1′s Fun And Filthy Cabaret, alongside Dappy from N Dubz.

They performed at the 2010 Brits after-party, Daisy Lowe’s 21st birthday party, hosted the 2012 St. Patricks Day event in Trafalgar Square and have opened for numerous comedy and music acts such as Micky Flanagan, Tommy Tiernan and DJ Yoda.
