Funhouse Comedy is back at the Lyric Rooms, Ashby-de-la-Zouch on Thursday February 6th for a great night of laughter.
Headliner Jo Caulfield is a genuinely witty and sharply observational comic, who quickly builds up a rapport with her audiences. At 17 she left home and moved to London to sing and play drums in a Rockabilly band, even though she could actually do neither! In her first comedy open spot, which she won, she was drunk and decided to enter without any preparation at all! Since then she has gone from strength to strength appearing on TV in the likes of 'Have I Got News For you', 'Mock the Week', 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'. Her presence is equally felt on Radio, having appeared on 'The News Quiz', Clive Anderson's Chat Room and recording her own programme for a number of years on Radio 4. Add to that TV warm-up and comedy writer for such people as Joan Rivers, Ant and Dec and Graham Norton, here is a very talented lady.
Supporting is 2013 BBC Radio New Comedy Award winner Steve Bugeja, who has supported Russell Kane on tour. Also a comedy writer he has contributed to 'Mock The Week', '8 Out of 10 Cats' and 'Russell Howard's Good News' to name a few. Lively and appealing, he has a gift for matching physical comedy with sharp observations. His somewhat geeky persona is underpinned by his self-deprecating humour.
Also appearing will be Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2018, the cheeky Jack Gleadow, hailing from Hull and claiming to have illegitimate Chuckle Brothers heritage, he is one of the most unique performers on the UK comedy circuit today.
Completing the line-up is Khalid Winter, a professional archaeologist whose comedy draws on his life experiences.
Compere for the night is the energetic and animated Spiky Mike.
