We're back at Number 28 in Belper on November 7th!
Our Headline Act is the fantastic TONY BURGESS
Tony Burgess is an award-winning stand-up comedian, writer and actor based in Manchester:
With his instantly engaging stage persona, Tony Burgess weaves carefully crafted gags into sometimes surreal stories about northern family life, which for over 20 years has proved a hit with the crowds on the UK comedy circuit.
“great, well crafted gags” The Guardian
“kitchen sink surrealism” The Big Issue
A successful writer, Tony has written sitcoms for BBC 1 and Radio 4; his plays have been staged at The Royal Exchange Studio Theatre in Manchester and he’s written jokes for many big-name comedians such as Steve Coogan and John Bishop. Tony also managed to get a credit on Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the were-rabbit, so his kids now believe that he’s got a proper job.
“finds the comic and absurd in sometimes difficult situations” The Big Issue
As an actor you may recognise Tony from his role in the Johnny Vegas led BBC3 comedy Ideal where he played DJ Troy, Moz’s crazy, vinyl obsessed brother; or maybe you’ve seen DJ Troy’s latest reincarnation in the recent webseries DJ Troy: The Siege Of Troy.
Plus ... Alexis Coward, Laurence Landau, Carly O'Connor, James Alexander
And all being held together with the grace of a dog on stilts by your compere Rob Coleman
