Sit back and enjoy 3 top comedians from the prestigious UK comedy circuit at the MTFC`s McIllroy Suite and prepare to laugh all night long.

Your comedians are;

JOHN ROBINS

John represents the new wave of storyteller, skilfully weaving narrative, improvisation and punchy gags into his unique, self-effacing style. As a compere John quickly made his name as one of the most quick-witted, engaging MCs on the circuit. Always willing to expect the unexpected, John guarantees a great show for audiences and acts alike. He’s the latest maverick to burst out of Bristol’s hotbed of talent and he has stories to tell, banter to have, and bombs to drop.
‘A fresh and original comedian’ – BBC

GERRY K

Gerry K first hit the stage in 2003 and has raised the roof with laughter ever since. An energetic and likeable personality, Gerry’s performed across the UK and abroad at The Comedy Club, Jongleurs, The Comedy Store, CKP and many more top circuit venues, not to mention winning his honours along the way; The Comedy Store’s ‘King Gong’, Metrolife Comedy Newcomer, and The Comedy Cafe’s Best Newcomer Awards. Following recent successes, Gerry K’s performed several headline spots and now performs regularly at many corporate events. Seen his face before? Gerry K has acted on The Bill (ITV), Angelo’s (ITV) and even hosted the football forum with Jeff Stelling and Rodney Marsh for Zoo Magazine…that might have something to do with it!

MARTIN BIGPIG

Martin hails from Northern Ireland and has worked throughout the world, mainly as a comedian with a prop based act. But the events of the 11th of September 2001 caused him to change direction. ‘My show was mostly based around dangerous things, machete juggling, knife throwing, I had a small starting pistol that I used in my Firing A Gun With My Nipple act’.

Due to all the added security, and general paranoia at the world’s airports, Martin realised that to travel with a suitcase full of weapons was maybe not such a good idea. Especially for someone with a long ginger beard, and a Northern Irish accent. ‘I’m a dead cert to get stopped at the airport security desk. I didn`t want to end up in Guantanamo Bay!’

Martin decided to start again, and write a totally new show.

‘I literally threw all the props in the bin, I estimate about 7 hours of material went. Some of that act had been with me for 10 years or more, it was like waving an old friend off at the station knowing that you would never see them again. Or throwing an old friend in the dustbin, knowing the bin men were due round the next morning!’

Martin’s new material is mainly stand up comedy and storytelling. ‘Fans of the old show seem to love the new stuff, and I don’t have to carry a big bag of props’.
