Comedy Night @ The Mountain Dew Inn 21/06/13

Event information

Hello!

Most of you will know that Andy is many things (I'll leave you to decide what to yourselves), but, to me, as well as being a show off, an egomaniac and an all round tit after a few beers, he's an honest, kind & charitable soul, who happens to support Manchester United... (As a City fan, this is probably what I hate about him most) This event is in aid of Andrew Davies' bid to climb Kilimanjaro to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation, a great charity that helps support projects in local communities.

The night promises to be packed full to the brim with great comedy, with a stellar line up (see below) of award winning comedians and local talent, with some from afar, you will not be disappointed! There will also be a mini-auction held, as Andy is very kindly donating some of his signed sporting memorabilia for you to purchase.

Tickets to the event are £5 and can be paid on the door on the night, or in advance from Damian behind the bar at The Mountain Dew Inn, Swansea. All money collected goes to the Manchester United Foundation, which then provides the money to worthwhile causes in the local area.

***COMEDIANS PERFORMING***

ALL OF THESE ARE TO BE HELD TOGETHER ON THE NIGHT BY YOUR COMPERE, ALL ROUND GOOD EGG, CALLUM BEYNON.

"Callum has been described as many things in the past, but certainly most annoyingly for him, as a "slightly chubbier Alex Zane" & "Sesame Street's 'Count Von Count' personified" - He cannot decide whether he finds the former or the latter more annoying... Feel free to help him decide.

Callum has a relaxed and laid back style of comedy which he regularly performs at comedy clubs all over the country, and while Callum's boyish charms are sure to endear you to him, his blend of witty observational humour and anecdotes are set to willingly extort laughs from you, whilst his intricate tales are sure to keep you enthralled.

"Callum is both witty & instantly likeable" - Ignacio Lopez (ITV's 'Show Me The Funny')
"Good jokes..." & "Nice watch..."- Lloyd Langford (BBC One's 'Ask Rhod Gilbert')
"Sorry that I missed your set, mate... I was dying for a crap!" - Gerry K
"Lovely jokes that would really work in Surrey or other educated places" - Bob Slayer
"The best comedian.... In his house" - Matthew Liam Cardno Davies

AND WITH MORE GREAT COMEDIANS TO BE ANNOUNCED!

So tell me, just what better way could you find to spend the night at only the cost of a fiver? I don't think there is one. Get yourself in the laughing mood and get down!
