Barnstaple Comedy Club
Category: Barnstaple Fringe

Starts: Friday, June 27, 2008

 

Part of Barnstaple’s monthly Comedy Club at The Riverfront.

A regular act on the London Comedy Circuit, Jo is widely-known for her legendary one-woman shows, and has recently been nominated as ‘the best female Stand-Up in the country’ Chortle.co.uk. She is also Graham Norton’s head writer. As a support act to Graham Norton on his recent UK tour, Jo was a huge hit and received fantastic reviews from the press and from the headline act himself. ‘I never knew I could like a woman so much I'm ashamed to say she did make me wet myself’ Graham Norton.

Gigging since 2003, Tiernan is quickly becoming known as a top MC and rising star on the circuit. With his fast paced, energetic style, stupidly unpronounceable name and comedy topics ranging from dancing bears, being diabetic, and sometimes Lionel Ritchie, Tiernan is now gigging all over the UK. He also hosts his own Fat Tuesday Comedy Club attracting comedians such as Frank Skinner, Simon Amstell, Mark Thomas, Stephen Merchant and Stewart Lee.

A bit about Wendy May...
As a ‘punk buyer’ for Virgin Records Wendy filled her life with gigs, and in the early 80’s joined the hillbilly punk ska band The Boothill Footappers. They became label mates with Billy Bragg and the Housemartins, toured extensively, had a debut hit with Get Your Feet Out of My Shoes and recorded an album, which featured the legendary John Martyn.

The band broke-up in 1989 and Wendy began a club night - Wendy May’s Locomotion, a non-pretentious, alternative club in London’s Kentish Town. Frequented by the likes of Madness, Costello, Paul Weller and The Pogues, it also featured in Nick Hornby’s book 31 Songs. The Locomotion lasted 10 years, and had grown to include a comedy club upstairs where household names performed to include Lee Evans, Jo Brand, Phill Jupitus and Mark Lamaar.

As a DJ Wendy has presented on London’s Capital Radio, played at Glastonbury and co-presented the last series of The Tube for Channel 4 with Jools Holland & Paula Yates.

Following a dramatic lifestyle change and move to North Devon Wendy began a Soul Club night at The Palladium in Bideford and in November 2007 the monthly Barnstaple Comedy Club at The Riverfront; with the aim to create a club where people who maybe didn’t want to be part of the nightlife notorious for young drinkers, but wanted to meet up regularly with like-minded people and laugh themselves silly.

Today the Comedy Club is a roaring success!!
