Our monthly comedy night returns. Tonight: Rob Heeney and George Egg, with MC Paul B Edwards. Licensed bar.
Rob Heeney (pictured left): "Deluded genius," said Johnny Vegas
Over the last decade, Rob Heeney has established a reputation as one of the top comics working the UK circuit today. His style is a blend of bitterness, playfulness and cynicism wrapped up in a blanket of charm.
Originating from Douglas, Isle of Man, where he was born one Christmas Eve, you'd think this qualified Chemical Physicist, trained Systems Analyst, former Taxi Driver and International Table Tennis player would be able to draw on these amazing experiences. He cannot.
'The saviour of the show...Our tip for the top' - Danny Wallace, BBC Comedy
Rob has long since lost count of the number of clubs he's appeared in, but they include all the UK's top ones; The Comedy Store, Jongleurs, The Glee, Up the Creek. He also appears as part of the Paramount Comedy On Tap tour of the country's universities each year.
George Egg (pictured right):
"A hugely entertaining variety turn," said the Guardian.
"A hugely entertaining variety turn," said the Guardian.Wildly brandishing the worlds' second largest briefcase containing a battery of ridiculous props, George bounds onto the stage to perform one of the most original, interesting, innovative, and sweetly whimsical comedy performances you are ever likely to see. He has been hailed as 'a Tommy Cooper for the twenty first century' and through tears of laughter you'll see why. A true cross between alternative stand-up comedy and music hall variety.
George Egg has been a professional stand-up comedian, actor and writer for the last ten years. He has an extremely successful solo show with which he has toured in Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Spain, France and of course extensively in the United Kingdom, both on the stage and on the television.
