THE PRESS ON SARA PASCOE"

GERRY HOWELLS has made quite an impact since he began stand-up in 2006, and has been likened to a young Eddie Izzard. His eye-catching style, which combines a rambling, rhythmic stream-of-consciousness with brilliant one-liners, has earned him a string of awards and critical acclaim.

Sara Pascoe is another rising star. As well as achieving critical acclaim for her stand-up, she has appeared on TV as the ascerbic Emma in Free Agents and had a cameo in The Thick of It and Being Human.

She also starred in a Comedy Lab Happy Finish for Channel 4 as well as performing sell-out runs at The Pleasance and Soho Theatres and supporting Ardal O’Hanlon on tour.

“An enjoyable fusion of silliness and intelligence - a comic who can get Nietzsche and cunnilingus into the same breath has to be applauded.” Chortle
