About this event

Your acts at Castle Grove Masonic Hall for the evening...

David Eagle

David Eagle was crowned new comedian of the year in 2019 by Nottingham Comedy Festival, Bath Comedy festival and Leicester square Theatre. He appeared on the most recent series of BBC Radio4's flagship comedy The Now Show.

David is blind and his stand up often explores how this leads him into many surprising, hilarious encounters and misadventures.

Armed with an accordion, he punctuates the jokes and stories with the occasional comedy song, one of which was described in the Guardian as "a comic tour de force."

"Brilliant/nuts. Heartily recommend!" (Rufus Hound)

"David Eagle is a genuine stand up rookie phenomenon" (Reginald D Hunter.)

"Just seen the future of stand up comedy and his name is David Eagle" (Boothby Graffoe)"

"Constantly hilarious, gag on gag, leaving an audience gasping in admiration, and applause that goes on for minutes. You’ll be seeing him on Live at the Apollo before long, guaranteed." (Bath Echo)

Supported by…

Billy McGuire

Billy came to comedy in his middle years when in 2006 he had stood on stage for the first time as Comedian. He had earlier existences as singer /songwriter in the unknown rock band ‘Occasional Jay’ and occasional performance poetry.

He would admit neither had ever really felt comfortable. Stand-up was an immediate and snug fit. The one gig led swiftly to another. Now some years later he has developed into an act that can be relied on. From the perspective of one well worn by life, Billy shows a worldly knowledge of the weaponry available self deprivation, ‘A humble man, and not without good reason’.

Puns, word play, engaging political satire, stories, rolling gags, he brings it all, an absolute master of the step back and reveal. At his happiest in rooms not yet won.

Billy does not do kiddies Parties “clean sets, WI or church meetings...Set contains occasional strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Occasionally turns up bekilted!

“Edgy, thought provoking and insanely interesting…an observational genius” (Chortle)

“everything he touched was comedy gold” (Colin Harris, Redbox Promotions)

John Jo Taylor

John Jo has performed for top UK comedy clubs including The Comedy Store, The Frog and Bucket and The Stand.

He was a semi finalist in ‘So You Think You're Funny?’ New Act Competition at the Edinburgh Fringe and has worked in Australia, New Zealand and China.
