SUMMARY:Mike Gunn + Jonny Awsum
DESCRIPTION:SUPPORT: FRED BARBER\nCOMPÈRE: JAMES COOK \nMIKE GUNN’S history is as interesting and entertaining as his comedy. A misspent youth and a series of grim jobs cultivated his cynical outlook on life and a perverse desire led him to the world of stand-up. A self-confessed pessimist\, he describes himself as “not a natural choice for a career in laughter”. He has a rare ability to walk close to the line of what audiences find acceptable and yet still remain likeable and funny. His reputation for being a bit unfriendly\, a touch dark and even morose is really not true. In real life he’s loving\, warm and philanthropic. Just a bit misunderstood. \nEarly in his career Mike was supporting the likes of Jo Brand and Alan Davies and recently supported Lee Mack on his huge UK tour. He now headlines at all the top comedy venues in the UK and is rapidly reaching cult status on the circuit. \nTelevision appearances include Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1)\, Celebrity Deal or no Deal (CH 4)\, Harry Hill’s TV Burp (ITV)\, Al Murray’s sitcom ‘Time Gentlemen Please’ (Sky)\, Soccer AM (Sky 1)\, The Comedy Store (Comedy Central)\, Live At Jongleurs (CH5)\, and The Gas (CH4). He is a regular on the Sky Poker channel and has also been a contributor for The Guardian. He has written for Time Out\, The List\, The 11 O’clock Show (CH4) and Match of The Day Magazine. even though he hates football. \n“One of the 10 leading stand-ups in Britain”\nIndependent on Sunday\n\n“Mike Gunn will make you die laughing”\nThe Guardian\n\n“Piercingly funny…Fiendishly funny as dry as a dead mans bones”\nThe List \nJONNY AWSUM is an award-winning comedian who has charmed audiences all around the world with his high energy performance style and unique brand of musical comedy. \nAfter building his reputation on the UK comedy circuit\, where he is a regular headliner and closing act\, Jonny shot to national fame on Britain’s Got Talent. His TV performances won standing ovations and unanimous praise from the judges and went viral on the internet\, racking up over 50 million views on YouTube. \nFollowing BGT\, Jonny enjoyed a whirlwind 18 months including a sell-out five-star reviewed run at the Edinburgh Fringe\, a starring role in his first pantomime\, and tour support to both Lost Voice Guy and Tape Face on their hit UK theatre tours. \nJonny regularly pops up on TV and radio. He has featured on BBC Breakfast\, GMTV\, BBC Radio 2\, BBC Radio 5 Live and Absolute Radio and has appeared in TV commercials for brands including Cravendale\, EDF\, The Post Office\, VW and Samsung. \n“Guaranteed to lift your spirits”\nDaily Mirror \n“It was absolutely brilliant…it was the best ending to a show ever!”\nAmanda Holden \n“Numerous belly-aching\, laugh-out-loud cheers”\nBig Issue
