Stand-Up Comedy January

Buzz Comedy presents Stand-up Comedy at the Rose Theatre. With comedians, John Warburton, Ben Schofield, Will Duggan, and Bethany Black.

Tickets £6.00 / £3.75 concessions.

John Warburton
John has headlined comedy shows from Doncaster to Dubai, and at lots of places in-between. His award-winning powerhouse performance will leave you gasping for breath and his unique blend of jokes, comedy songs and surreal flights of fancy make him a sure-fire hit with any crowd. When he's not warming-up audiences for BBC sitcoms, you can catch John at the UK's top comedy venues every weekend: Recently seen on Coronation Street, as Barry Sidwell, John made his big screen debut in 2010 alongside Robert Carlyle, in big budget action thriller The Tournament.

"Brilliant, brilliant. Watch out McIntyre." - The Sun

Ben Schofield
Ever since his first tentative steps into comedy before a home crowd in 2001, Ben has performed to audience and critical acclaim in venues across the north of England. A dyed-in-the-wool rocker, he has imbued his performances with his rock and roll spirit, producing a dynamic, colourful (and really quite loud) act that is guaranteed to entertain.

"Impressive...quality material delivered in an animated fashion...took the atmosphere in the place up a gear with a well-paced high energy set with some great punch-lines...best act of the night...Ben Schofield rocks!" www.xsmalarkey.com

Will Duggan
Will Duggan is an understated act. He has some wonderfully observed jokes, belting lines and is very watchable when he is on stage. You will not be disappointed by this man.  His material is excellent and he is well worth coming to see.

Bethany Black
Unique, striking, cutting... An evening with Bethany Black is a one way ticket to a world you never knew existed.  Once described as "unremarkable" by a clueless imbecile, she has gone on to astound and amuse audiences throughout the UK. Bethany will always leave you wanting more.

"Brilliant!" - BBC Radio
