at Bistro LiveDate: Thur 10th Apr Time: 20:00 Roger Monkhouse Roger Monkhouse is one of the most original and distinctive acts on the comedy scene. A consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience. A highly original and quirky performer, Roger's trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit. Roger is happy to improvise freely with a crowd and is at great ease bantering with an audience, but has no shortage of first class observational material in his armoury. As one of the most sought after acts on the comedy circuit, Roger headlines at all the major comedy venues and has performed extensively throughout the United Kingdom and Internationally, most recently performing in Belgium, The Netherlands, South Africa, China, Singapore and the Middle East. "Highly regarded by his peers on the circuit - he's shaven-headed, topical, good, and nothing to do with Bob" - Evening Standard Stephen Grant According to Time Out 2004, "Stephen Grant is... Britain’s best comedy compere and odd-job man." And it's not hard to see why. A cult figure at the triple award winning Chortle best comedy venue ‘Komedia’, where he plays host to over 900 people every weekend in Brighton, his live work as a headliner and compere can be seen in all the top UK venues. A large proportion of Stephen’s work in TV and radio. He was the main comedy writer for Radio 1’s daytime programming from 1999 to 2003 and has written for everyone from Zoe Ball to the late John Peel. Stephen is also a first class warm up act for many leading network comedy shows. 'Always funny' - Time Out 'Brilliant material' - HarryEnfield Rob Deering Rob Deering exploded on to the comedy scene in 2000, reaching the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award semi-finals, the finals of the BBC New Comedy Award and the final of the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year Competition, as well as winning the prestigious Amused Moose New Talent Award. With his easy charm, cheesy singing voice, razor-sharp wit and clownish physicality Rob has quickly established himself as a firm favourite on the national circuit and has played at all the major comedy clubs nationwide. 'Sterling stand-up from one of the circuit's rising stars. A safe place to bet your comedy dollar' - The Sunday Times http://www.robdeering.com/ http://www.myspace.com/robdeering Bistro Live2 Barker GateThe Lace Market Nottingham NG1 1JS (more) Would you like to see more information about Bistro Live?
