Stand-Up Comedy February

Buzz Comedy presents Stand-up Comedy at the Rose Theatre. With comedians, Alex Boardman, Him and Me, Adam Staunton, and Helen Keeler.

Tickets £6.00 / £3.75 concessions

Alex Boardman
Alex Boardman is now one of the most sought after acts in the country due to his ability to interact with any audience and to seemingly conjure something out of nothing.  His free flowing style and natural charm breeze through in performances. However there is often a hard-hitting edge to his material that acts as counter balance to this.

"Call the cops, double, double funny" - Shaun Ryder, Happy Mondays and Daily Sport

Him and Me
Him and Me are Shea Taylor and Steve Langstaff, a comedy sketch double act best known for writing and starring in sketches for BBC2‘s Dick and Dom‘s Funny Business and for the hit YouTube video Lady Gaga Telephone Parody received over 2.5 million hits.  Described as a more accessible version of Reeves and Mortimer, their style has seen them turn their collective hand to writing, acting, live comedy and presenting.   Shea even used to present a mid-morning current affairs programme on an Asian channel on Sky, he was the Asian community's answer to Philip Schofield....Steve hasn't been anyone's answer to anything.

Adam Staunton
Since his first gig in December 2007, Adam Staunton has developed a confident and assured delivery that has seen him share bills with the likes of John Bishop, Phil Nicol, and Sarah Millican. 

"superb comic timing and stagecraft" - Graham Gilbert, Southportforums.com

"Short, likeable stage persona with unbelievable confidence, keep an eye out for him!" - Sam Avery

Helen Keeler
Helen Keeler is a delightfully dark and deadpan new comedy star from the Wirral. She was a painfully shy, freakishly well-behaved and Catholic-guilt-ridden child who dreamed of growing up to be a blonde Russian spy who spent her days draped in James Bond's doorway. It didn't happen. She is now at the point where thoughts of being a productive, upstanding member of society have completely left the building. She never again wants to work for a living and instead plans to either be paid for creative endeavours she finds fun and satisfying, or starve to death.

Not recommended for under 18's
