Expect a high-energy Christmas night full of quick wit, crowd work and the unpredictable style that’s made him a local favourite.

Great selection of comedians. It would be great if things could run to time - we missed the last two as we had to leave for our next booked comedian.

I would like to say Tony Law is an absurdist, surreal comic genius and one of the best acts I have seen. However I also really want him to be on that BBC Radio 4 'One Person Found This Helpful' panel show where Frank Skinner asks comedians to recount a bad review they have received. I suspect he may not have received any bad reviews, and therefore he may not be eligible to go on the show. So I have to say he was awful, give him one star, and give his glove five stars . (You're welcome Tony. Really hope this gets you on the radio).
