NCF Comedy Night at Canal House

Date: Tue 10th Nov
Time: 19:00

EVENT ONE

Rob Kemp: Agenda
Part of the Nottingham Comedy Festival

I imagine that like me, after eight months spent indoors in your pajamas, you are ready to put on your glad rags and head out to see a show about straight male crossdressers.
This is an important subject to me, as I am one of them and we are still mostly a punchline.

I saw a Mario-themed stag-do yesterday. There were multiple Marios, Luigis, and Yoshis, whilst the stag was dressed as Princess Peach.
And I wonder why that was.

What is meant to be inherently funny about a man dressed like a lady?
It’s a status thing, isn’t it?

I know that sounds really heavy, but I have done my best to make it as light, fun, and accessible as possible, so don’t worry, ok?

Rob Kemp is an Edinburgh Fringe Best Newcomer nominated, multiple award-winning comedian, usually found doing silly multimedia stuff, but on this occasion would like to tell you a personal story about shame, identity, gender expectations, and being true to yourself.

Sarah Keyworth is an award-winning stand-up comedian and writer.

Since first performing stand-up at university, Sarah has fast become one of UK comedy’s brightest new talents. Having already been a Funny Women runner-up, 2018 saw Sarah take her debut hour, Dark Horse, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. A thoughtful and hilarious meditation on gender, girlhood and the challenges of growing up different, the show was a huge critical hit, receiving four and five star reviews from The Herald, Telegraph, Scotsman and many more. The show also received a Herald Angel Award, a Pleasance Theatre Award and a nomination for Best Newcomer in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

After her run, Sarah took Dark Horse on tour around the UK (including a sold-out run at Soho Theatre) and then to Australia, where she was invited to perform the show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, again to widespread critical acclaim. While in Australia, she also performed stand-up on ABC as part of the prestigious Melbourne Comedy Festival Opening Night Gala.

Her second Edinburgh show, Pacific, was also a huge hit with audiences and critics alike, selling out its entire run and receiving 4 star reviews from The Times, The Scotsman, The Herald and many more. Sarah took the show on tour in 2020, selling out dates around the UK.

Sarah’s broadcasting career is also firmly on the up. She has appeared on Comedy Central UK’s Roast Battle, ITV2’S Stand Up Sketch Show, performed stand-up on BBC Radio 4 institution The Now Show, and has a number of her own TV and audio ideas in development with a range of production companies and broadcasters. 2020 has also seen Sarah launch hit new BBC Radio 4 relationships podcast You’ll Do which she hosts with Catherine Bohart.
