Howl in Penarth: JOHN ROBERTSON / LEROY BRITO

Penarth's hit Friday night comedy club is back with another red hot line up including the unmissably amoral JOHN ROBERTSON headlining our Halloween special...

“A manic and quick-witted revelation” – The Scotsman

JOHN ROBERTSON is an Aussie comedian with a well cut suit and a cult following. He’s also a TV presenter, columnist, multimedia artist, games designer, crowd-surfer and recreational sadist. He first came to public attention in 2003, when he went down to Australian Idol and faked a seizure on national television. In 2012, he created “The Dark Room”, a viral YouTube hit-turned-live show, which now tours the world. He has provided tour support for Mark Watson, Wayne Brady and Rob Schneider, before making his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2010. His show “A Nifty History of Evil” won the Critic’s Choice Award at the Wild West Comedy Festival, established his UK cult following and brought him to the front page of the BBC News website. A comic you would be mad to miss out on, especially a week before Halloween.

LEROY BRITO

Cardiff-bred superstar Leroy Brito regularly headlines in comedy clubs throughout the UK. He has just recorded his latest stand up special for Radio Wales, and will be returning to TV screens this Autumn in series two of Tourist Trap, the hit BBC sitcom. The busy father-of-three will also be starring in a new sketch show on Radio Wales later this year.
