Compered by Tim FitzHigham
Award-winning comedian-author-adventurer Tim FitzHigham is “charming, inspirational and mad as a bag of weasels” (Broadway Baby). And we love him for it. He will be presenting a line-up featuring:
Stewart Francis
As seen on ‘Mock the Week’ and ‘Live at the Apollo’, Stewart Francis “has a gift for exquisitely crafted gags of the highest order.” (Time Out) “A brilliant comic brain…this stand-up cracks some of the best one liners I’ve ever heard” (The Guardian) “Perfectly crafted gags” (The Sunday Times).
Rachel Parris
Rachel Parris is an award-winning musical comedian, actor and improviser. Listed as one of Huffington Post's funniest 50 women. “One sometimes doubts that Britain’s got talent, but Parris has it in spades” (The Guardian). She has made several appearances on BBC Radio 4, BB6 Music and Channel 4.
Late Night Gimp Fight
The award winning five-man comedy sketch group. Also seen on Comedy Central’s ‘Impractical Jokers’. "Sketch Comedy doesn't get much better than this". (The Scotsman)
Lloyd Griffith
Lloyd is a comedian, a professional choirboy and “the next big thing” (FHM). He has appeared in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge Comedy Club, and BBC3’s Sweat The Small Stuff. Chortle calls him “inherently funny: voice of an angel, body of a trucker..very neat lines in his comic repertoire”.
Tim Renkow
"Hailing from Memphis Tennessee, Tim has a unique viewpoint as a disabled American immigrant living in Great Britain. He is brutally honest, shockingly sharp and has a dark, cutting yet cheerful sense of humour. No subject is off limits for Tim. "A grimly funny, characterful debut, Renkow is one of the UK's most promising new stand-ups." (Chortle)
About Alive and Kicking
Alive and Kicking is an African social enterprise that manufactures sports balls; helping children exercise their right to play, creating ethical employment for African communities, and improving the health and quality of life of disadvantaged young people. Their not-for-profit workshops in Kenya, Zambia and Ghana sustain themselves through ball sales and run sports-based health awareness and social inclusion programmes. By bearing simple health messages, the balls help to combat HIV/AIDS and malaria and to promote a range of causes, from peace and reconciliation to wildlife conservation.
The charity's African operations are supported by a head office in London. As all revenue they generate in Africa stays in Africa, this London HQ relies entirely on charitable grants and donations. So, what are you waiting for? Come on down and START LAUGHING!
