Funhouse Comedy Club - Edinburgh Festival Preview All-Dayer in Derby July 2024
Sunday, July 28, 2024, 1400 - 2230
Funhouse Comedy brings another outstanding day of comedy to the beer garden stage at Bar One, Derby on Sunday July 28th with its second Edinburgh Festival Preview All-Dayer.
2.00pm – Andrew Bird – Ticklish Mind
When asking his 9-year-old son if he is ticklish, he replied "only my mind". Which is a great way to describe a sense of humour. And lord knows we all need a good tickle in the mind now and then so join Andrew as he finds the funny from "Sports washing" to Spa hotels. "A brilliantly funny comedian" Russell Howard.
"Birdie supported me on my arena tour and made me laugh every night. Truly an excellent comedian." Michael McIntyre
3.25pm – Hudson and Hudson – 2 Become Wand
When real-life married funny magicians decided to perform a double-act, they thought it would be the perfect combination of fun and tricks. However, their personal-life bickering tends to get in the way of the magic. 'Climaxes ranging from silly to mind-blowing. Two immensely engaging and talented performers' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'You fooled us' Penn and Teller. 'Ace. Brilliant. Authentic' (Amanda Holden).
4.50pm – Diane Spencer: Sweet and Sore Live Tour
Do you take a dangerous mole to the doctors or the vets? Dangerous moles, fudge-making and the meaning of life feature in this brilliant new stand-up comedy show from comedian Diane Spencer.
"Sweet and Sore" is her tenth show and is touring around the country. Diane's humour is cheeky, self-deprecating and involves storytelling but is always light hearted, silly and packed with punchlines. Diane works in comedy clubs up and down the country so this is adult humour, and not recommended for the more genteel or younger folk. Sit in the front row, laugh along, you won't be picked on and you might even get to try some homemade fudge.
6.15pm – John Robertson – The Human Hurricane
Got an opinion? Got a story? Seen a show you liked or didn't? Want to pop content into the brain of the UK's most manic comic? Grab a seat and play along with the new interactive stand-up show from the creator of legendary Fringe hit The Dark Room. Crowdwork! Crowdsurfs! High-octane anarchy! 'A splendid comedy beast' **** (Scotsman). ***** (Skinny). **** (Telegraph).
7.30pm – Michael Shafar – Lots to Say
Since arriving in the UK last year from Australia, Michael Shafar has become one of the freshest new voices on the UK club circuit. Come and see a preview of this dark, boundary-pushing show where Michael fearlessly weighs into the culture wars and the controversial topics that most comedians are smart enough to avoid. 'A wildly inventive, darkly comic imagination' ***** The Edinburgh Reporter
8.45pm – David Eagle – The Eagle is Candid
The adventures of blind comedian and folk singer David Eagle: accosted by faith healers, bamboozling aggressive Australians and escaping arrest after a nocturnal accordion-based antisocial incident. Plus a couple of his songs, one of which was described by the Guardian as 'a comic tour de force', and another one which wasn't. Best Variety Show, Leicester Comedy Festival. 'Brilliant, nuts, heartily recommend!' (Rufus Hound). A regular on BBC Radio 4's The Now Show. Three-time winner, BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian Of The Year. Directed by Ben Van der Velde.
Doors open 1:30pm
