15 NOV Paul Currie

Dear comedy-lovers,

We’ve got another great line-up planned for you. Our headliner was a sensation at the Edinburgh fringe getting rave reviews. We are big fans and you will be too!

Line-up:
Paul Currie (UK)

Paul Currie is never afraid to show his street-performing circus roots during his shows. This Irishman has one of the most unique, interesting and downright funny comedy styles we’ve ever seen.

Currie is a performer who delivers his act without fear. And that’s something really like. And if you’re in for something a little strange, so will you.

 

‘I wish I’d seen him sooner, my favourite comedy show of the Fringe.’ (comedian Stewart Lee)
***** (The Scotsman)

Brian K. Jordan (US)

Brian has developed his own style of storytelling comedy. They say that part truth is involved in most comedians’ stories, and Brian is no different. IF you figure out which parts of his stories are true, they could shock you.

 

Tristan Barber (CA)
Tristan is a Canadian part of the grassroots comedy scene in Brussels with great improv skils.

Camp and outrageous, provocative and controversial, catty and hysterical, Scott Capurro is a breath of fresh air in the increasingly samey and stale world of stand-up.

“The most fearless and technically perfect stand up on the circuit.” – The Guardian

Starting his career in Dublin, Irish comedian Rory O’Hanlon is a favorite at comedy clubs across the UK and Ireland, known for his rapid-fire, joke-heavy delivery.

16/11 English Comedy at RITCS café: Alfie brown & Raul Kohli

Dear Comedy lover.

We’re super excited to invite you to another great comedy night.
Look at this awesome line-up:

Alfie Brown
Alfie’s firebrand style of comedy has been forged from years of pushing boundaries and experimentation. Natural stage presence combined with explosive material makes for a thrilling performance every time he hits the stage.
★★★★★ “It is tricky to write 350 sensible words when you come out a show simply thinking “Wow! F**k! Wow!’ “THE SCOTSMAN
★ ★ ★ ★ “Brown’s is one of the boldest new voices I’ve encountered… mapping a route to a different class of humour” THE GUARDIAN

Raul Kohli
Raul Kohli has fast become one of the most captivating acts on the circuit. As one of the few Asians to have grown up in the far north of England, he’s been blessed with a Worldview that upends ethnicity, culture and class. Combining ‘Superb political comedy’ (The Scotsman) with surreal storytelling.

Peter Kluppels
Peter is an old hand at comedy, hailing from the self proclaimed metropolis of Antwerp in the self proclaimed country of Belgium. He’s performed his benign absurdist comedy at plenty of bars and a few theaters. And somehow got to the finals of no less than two comedy competitions. When Mr Kluppels is not on stage, you will most likely find him -fully suited up- eating yoghurt of some sort whilst civil serving.
