Comic Voice Acts Impress

andy — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 11:24:44 +0000

When the Shaftsbury & Gillingham Round Table said they wanted a top end night of comedy to raise money for Charity, they looked no further than The Comedy Club to provide the funniest acts in the business.

The result was a night filled with laughter:

“the night was excellent , i would like to give a big thankyou to all three comedians who without the charity night would not of been a success , Rudi topped the night having everyone in the room in stitches, We are very pleased with the whole company from the booking through to the performances, as a result we hope to make this a yearly event.”

Comic Voice Management acts Karen Bayley, Simon Feilder and Rudi Lickwood did the honours and are available for private bookings, such as this. All it takes is an enquiry: http://www.comicvoice.com/contact-us.html

John Ryan: Comedy, rugby and men’s health!

andy — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 09:29:52 +0000

IF laughter is the best medicine, a new comedy night in Wigan could be just the tonic!

Organisers are hoping a mix of comedy and rugby league will ensure the borough’s blokes start thinking and talking about that most taboo of subjects…..their own health.

Top comedian John Ryan will poke some good natured fun at men’s attitude – or lack of it – to exercise….why blokes hate going to the doctors and why they simply can’t say what they feel.

They’ll also be able to meet Wigan Warriors players Pat Richards and Sean O’Loughlin and have their picture taken next to the Super League trophy.

Award winning comic John has performed in prisons, army bases, football clubs and art centres.

Mr Ryan said: “If I can people to laugh, I can get people to listen. It will be a great night of comedy, not preachy, just a laugh with a bit of a health message.”

During the night leaflets on everything from checking for testicular cancer to gym membership will be handed out to encourage men to think more seriously about their own health.

Organiser Jane Hynes is manager of the NHS-commissioned Community Weight Management service in Wigan. She said: “The night has been organised in response to men’s well-documented aversion to taking their health seriously.

“Making light of something can make it easier to talk about and hopefully the night will encourage men to take an interest in their own health and well-being.
“If we can make them laugh maybe we can break down some misconceptions such as ‘avoiding visiting the doctor makes you more manly’.
“Men need to take their health more seriously.”

Talkin’ Bol***ks has been organised by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust’s Active Living Team in partnership with Age UK, NHS Ashton, Leigh and Wigan and Wigan Warriors to highlight some startling statistics.

In the UK life expectancy for men is 77.4 years compared to 81.6 years for women.

Middle aged men are twice as likely as women to have diabetes and twice as likely not to know they have it!

While 21 per cent of men die between the ages of 15 and 64 compared to just 12 per cent of women.

Roger Jones, national co-ordinator for Fit as a Fiddle Age UK, said: “This is part of our Fit as a Fiddle older men’s project which aims at getting the over 50s man healthy and active by providing activities which are fun and healthy but also have a strong social base which encourages men to work together and support each other.”

Talkin’ Bol***ks is being held at the DW Stadium on Thursday 27 January starting at 7pm.

Simon Feilder – Getting Volvo Laughing!

andy — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 13:19:36 +0000

Simon Feilder’s corporate portfolio of clients is growing swiflty, with Volvo as the latest addition to his coporarte comedy testimonials from Thursday 16th December as arranged by The Comedy Club:

“The event was a great success last night. Everybody was impressed with Simon Feilder’s performance, he was hilarious! A really nice guy off stage as well. We have all been talking about him this morning in the office.” Volvo

As well as impressing with his own stand up, Simon was also collared on the evening for a spot of ad-lib stand-up comedy teaching.

“Would like to say thanks to Simon on a personal note too, as he gave my husband a few tips as he had a try at stand up comedy for 5mins for the first time before Simon came on last night, and Simon was absolutely fab with him and gave him some really good advice and support.”

Funny & versitile. That’s a Simon Feilder fact!

Imran Yusuf: Daily Telegraph 2010 Highlight Comedian

andy — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 10:31:59 +0000

In 2010 the comedy industry was taken by storm, witnessing Imran Yusuf launch into the limelight as one of the biggest stars to emerge from the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Dominic Cavendish at The Telegraph summarises “This year has been marked by an invigorating sense of a younger crowd breaking through”. Looking further and selecting Imarn as an act who made a big impact this year: “This charismatic Kenyan-born Londoner is so intent on giving audiences a good time, he smuggles through shrewd observations about multiculturalism and modern life without you even noticing.” A fitting summary.

Clearly by the feedback I have already received you (Comedienne Mandy Knight) went down a storm, even with the prudes! The fine line between a good and fantastic comedian is the frame of mind and attitude on the individual on the night, over the years I have had some indifferent ones and some great ones, you will go down in local folklore as a great and for that we thank The Comedy Club in their selection.

The way Mandy gelled with Razor and enjoyed yourself was a credit to your profession, I particularly enjoyed the moment in which you won over the elder lady who was a challenge to say the least. I am sure you will also be delighted to know that the atmosphere you helped create generated £15,000 for the benefit of the charity.

I would recommend The Comedy Club without hesitation for any future event especially oif they want to go a little darker with comedy through Mandy Knight!

In particular, there were a few Frenchmen among the audience and it’s always a gamble as to whether they will get the English humour, my God, did they!! Talk about screaming and clutching their sides, it was truly a sight to behold!

He was the funniest comedian we have had at this event and he definitely made the night. I am getting emails from the partners here and the guests who attended last night saying how funny he was…Once again, thanks so much, it was truly a great night and I’m still smiling as I’m typing this.”
