Outstanding Stand-Up Peformances
Hilarious performances at Medway-Live from a superb list of stand-up comedians.
Friday, 31 March line-up:
Mat Wills – a short engaging mini man, who puts audiences at ease with his deft crowd and cheeky East End vibe.
“He’s got “Impressive quick thinking”.” NOTTS COMEDY REVEIW
Tiziano La Bella discusses his Catholic childhood, the incoherence of the Italian fascists and his challenges as an immigrant in the UK. Tiziano loves to touch the nerves of the audience, to get them involved and generate a reaction. He offers his surreal points of view to his audience who get the chance to laugh with him – or to beat him up right after show!
Stella Graham – Shameless, charmingly aggressive and unladylike. Stella is a slick, sharp and polished comedian, balancing warmth and charm that have audiences queuing up to meet her after the show.
“Fun and original… everything a good comedian should be, self-assured, likeable and, crucially, funny”. We say…… Enjoy!! BROADWAY BABY
Russell Arathoon – explodes onto the stage delivering a rollercoaster of high energy, one liners, double entendrés with his hilarious everyday observations.
Finalist for Edinburgh Fringe’s ‘So you think I’m Funny’, Russell won both Hastings ‘New Comedian of the Year’ award’, and King Gong at London’s Comedy Store. Do not miss this!!!
Saturday, 1 April line-up:
Mat Wills – a short engaging mini man, who puts audiences at ease with his deft crowd and cheeky East End vibe.
“He’s got “Impressive quick thinking”.” NOTTS COMEDY REVEIW
London based Sheraz Yousaf draws on his life experiences in a fresh forthcoming style, using humble self-depreciation blended with brilliant comic delivery. A worldly wise and fantastic thinking man’s comic, Shiraz holds the attention of any room creating a wonderfully fun atmosphere. Sheraz also hosts the Buzz FM breakfast show and with his likeable personality & in depth life observations, will make you laugh… then want to go for a pint with him!
“He was fantastic!” BRITASIA TV
Caroline Mabey is part ‘best mate you shouldn’t have gone on holiday with’ and part ‘drunk school-run mum who’s been dragged backwards through a box of crunchy surrealism’.
“A mischievous, kooky talent” TIMEOUT
Currer Ball – a Glaswegian Amused Moose National New Comic semi-finalist, and finalist in the Max Turner Comedy Competition 2016. With hands-on giddiness, this Glaswegian stand-up gives a whole new meaning to physical comedy – while delivering one exquisite gag after another.
“Slightly mental…very funny” THE GUARDIAN
