THE ATKINSON, SOUTHPORT
Proudly present LAUGH OUT LOUD COMEDY CLUB
Saturday 6th January 2018 8.00pm
Starring: Rob Rouse, Carey Marx, Simon Lomas and Damion Larkin (MC)
The mighty Rob Rouse is one of comedy’s most lively, loveable and dynamic performers. He’s one of our best comic storytellers, has performed all over the world and works long form narratives into hard-hitting, uncompromising hilarious tales filled with warmth and a sense of compassion for our collective human frailties.
The Ex-Geography teacher has been described critically as “A born clown”, those who really know him may lovingly use the word ‘idiot’. Either way, Rob takes this trademark comedic storytelling to a career high in this show, as he leads us on an irresistibly hilarious journey of enforced introspection and inspired rantings, it’s a real roller-coaster of a show in which he is forced to relinquish any attempts to control his life and to face down literally one of the most awkward situations you’re ever likely to hear about.
You may also recognise him from ‘8 Out Of 10 Cats’, ‘Spoons’, ‘The Friday Night Project’, ‘Celebrity Juice’, ‘Dave’s One Night Stand’, ‘John Bishop’s Only Joking’, ‘Live at the Comedy Store’, maybe collecting one of his wife’s eBay purchases from your garage or perhaps seen him at one of his 8 Edinburgh fringe shows or 3 UK tours.
This is a rare chance to see an outstandingly gifted comedian outside of his national tour. His much in demand and hyperactive brand of humour is simply not to be missed. So, come and see him do what he does best; honest, frank, seriously funny stand-up.
“Immensely talented… demands to be seen… star of the future” Sunday Times
“Excellent” BBC
“He’s a man with genuinely funny bones” The Sunday Times
“Rob Rouse is a born clown, a latter-day Stan Laurel” Time Out
Carey Marx is a massive hit with audiences mixing his own blend of dark humour with his mischievous and gleeful delivery. His wilful disregard for the controversial and delicate is tempered beautifully by his ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. This hilarious mix of edgy topics and playful gagsmithery means he’s in demand including an extended run in the Middle East, Australia, Canada and then coming home to be the compere of choice at Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury Festivals.
Alongside his stand up, Carey records a popular weekly topical podcast with comedian Barry Castagnola, called “The Proper Gander”.
The hilarious show has received 5 star reviews from listeners and is available through iTunes.
Don’t miss this guy as he packs more laughs per minute than just about any comedian you can see.
