MCMC
Kevin McCarthy
A veteran compere and one of the UK's best-loved circuit headliners, famed for his lightning-fast crowd work and a reputation second to none.
Opening Act
Matt Richardson
Comedian and TV presenter, best known as the host of The Xtra Factor and for his high-energy, audience-annihilating live sets.
Middle Act
Otiz Cannelloni
Reluctant Messiah, Man of The People, ‘O’ Level Woodwork Otiz Cannelloni combines the illusion of magic and the wit of stand up to produce a hybrid comic creation. With a mind more suited to testing crash helmets, his performance fluctuates between sheer genius and downright stupidity. Just when you suspect he doesn’t have a clue, Cannelloni removes all doubt. When this man is on stage the dressing room empties, as the rest of the comics rush to watch and learn from his mistakes. It’s taken years of practice to make something so simple look so difficult. Despite various television appearances – The Stand Up Show BBC 1, Stuff The White Rabbit BBC 2 - producers are prepared to forgive and forget, mostly forget. Still, there’s always the alloment - if it stops raining! Voted most popular act to appear at Ludgershall's Comedy Club ever. PRESS QUOTES “Master of Mirth and Minimalist Magic …Delightful.” TIME OUT “A magical Wag. Bewitching.” THE GUARDIAN “Sheer hilarity that clearly no one wanted to see end.” THE STAGE “A laugh a minute.” THE AGE. MELBOURNE. AUSTRALIA “Don’t we have laws against this sort of thing?” SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST “The highlight of the night....the downbeat patter is exemplary, full of self-deprecating asides and splendidly daft one-liners.” CHORTLE …………………………………………… “Beautifully understated gags, wonderful English self-deprecation… silly like a supply teacher on his last day.” MILTON JONES CLIENT “Otiz was excellent - the best act of the night.” Porters Park Golf Club.
