Laughs abound as a stellar selection of comedy talent comes to Kensal Rise of a Tuesday evening. Our April line-up features Simon Brodkin, Grainne Maguire, Tom Ward and resident MC Taylor Glenn.
SIMON BRODKIN
Performing on the comedy circuit as Lee Nelson, Brodkin is a serial prankster who has staged many famous pranks: handing Theresa May her P45, gatecrashing Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor – as well as Kanye West at Glastonbury, Donald Trump and Fifa’s Sepp Blatter. His exploits were documented in the 2017 Channel 4 film Britain's Greatest Prankster. Simon also starred in and wrote BBC 3's ' Lee Nelson's Well Good Show'. Tonight, Simon performs as himself!
““Never less than ingenious” - The Times
GRAINNE MAGUIRE
As seen on Dave’s UnSpun with Matt Forde, BBC Radio 4 The Now Show and Comedy Central’s Alternative Comedy Experience. Grainne is a one-off – be prepared to be surprised and amused - you’ve been warned.
“Sarcastically and scabrously hilarious” - Chortle
TOM WARD
Coming off five star reviews for his Edinburgh Festival 2018 show, Popcorn Lung, Tom has been smashing it on Comedy Central's Roast Battle and his podcast, People Talk. It’s your chance to catch Tom before he goes stratospheric.
“Fine jokes and star presence: he's a star in the making." - Time Out
TAYLOR GLENN
Comedy Paradise is hosted by resident MC (and local resident) the award-winning US comedian Taylor Glenn. Former psychotherapist Taylor is a writer, stand up and co-host of the hit podcast, Drunk Women Solving Crime.
“Clever stuff. She’s like the Joan Rivers de nos jours” - Bath Chronicle
