NCF Comedy Night at Canal House

Date: Wed 7th Mar
Time: 19:30

The 2nd Heat of the Castle Rock and Nottingham Comedy Festival ‘Brand New To Comedy’ competition to take place at the next NCF Canalhouse gig
Canalhouse, Nottingham - Weds 7th March – 8pm

Bringing some of the circuits top up-and-coming acts, the NCF comedy night is always great fun, and you never know you could be watching the next big thing!

In 2010 Carl Jones from Ripley won the first ever Castle Rock and Nottingham Comedy Festival ‘Brand New To Comedy’ competition. Since then he has gone on to perform regularly on the comedy circuit all over the UK alongside big names such as Patrick Monahan, Mark Dolan, Josh Widdicombe, Isy Suttie, Alun Cochrane, Paul Chowdhry and Gary Delaney. On top of this he is now the regular compere at NCF’s monthly comedy night, looking out for the next winner.

This competition gives members of the public the opportunity to have a go at comedy, whether they are looking for a new career or would just like a laugh with their friends. The winner goes through to the final during the Nottingham Comedy Festival and also wins some Castle Rock Ale – anyone can apply via the NCF Entertainment website.

The NCF Comedy Nights at Canalhouse also feature some top up-and-coming acts. This month including the brilliant dead-pan comic, Chris Norton Walker with support from Colin Hinchley, David Bedlow and Jed Salisbury

Info on the compere and headliner:

Carl Jones – Our new resident compere started out on the circuit in September 2010 and has quickly established himself as one of the strongest new acts in the Midlands.
Winning the Nottingham Comedy Festival ‘Brand New to Comedy’ competition after just a handful of gigs, he has gone on to reach the semi finals of Amused Moose Laugh Off 2011, won both Manchester and Preston ‘Beat the Frog’ competitions at the first attempt and performed as part of Amused Moose’s Hot Starlets programme of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He has also performed weekend open spots at Glee Club and Jongleurs, Nottingham.
“A great stage presence that really draws the audience in. Very funny.” – Mark Dolan
“…a strong natural stage presence that many can only dream of. His natural ability of telling comic stories draws the whole audience in for a very enjoyable set.” Nottingham Comedy Festival

Chris Norton Walker - Chris Norton Walker is a new stand up to the comedy circuit, but is a rising talent. Gigging all across the UK and recently gigging at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. His writing was nominated for Best Comedy at the NASTA (National Student TV Awards 08).
Chris pokes fun at comedians and audiences alike. Mocking assumptions and challenging notions. He uses himself, and his life experiences, as a mirror to ridicule stand up comedy and to deconstruct established comedy motifs.
