Matt Richardson & Andrew Watts Edinburgh Preview Shows

Event information

Special Queens Jubilee Show Date.

Two of the Countries top up and coming comedians bring their new shows to Devizes. See these shows before they hit Edinburgh.

Join multi-award winning stand-up Matt Richardson as he previews his hotly anticipated debut solo show 'Hometown Hero' ahead of an Edinburgh Fringe run in 2013.

At it's very first outing at Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival (the TV channel, not a man) this very show was nominated for the festival's "Best New Show" accolade.

After starting comedy at 18 Matt has had a meteoric rise - appearing in some of the biggest new act competition finals in the country. After fast establishing himself as a talent to watch out for, he has appeared on BBC Radio 2's stand-up series "Russell Kane's Whistle Stop Tour" and on E4, as well as supporting some of the biggest acts in comedy on tour.

"These days there are ever more comics with a following that many rock stars would envy. Matt Richardson might just be the next up-and-comer to appeal to that demographic: he's brash, slick and full of mildly laddish but self-deprecating stories, all delivered with an irresistible twinkle. Richardson may be full of self-confidence but he's got broad appeal to back up the cockiness."
