Matt Forde
A former political adviser, Matt isn't a typical twenty-something; a passionate, opinionated and excitable young man he loves football, ‘Prime Minister's Questions’ and pasties. He has also gone to extraordinary lengths to get close to both Tony Blair and Brian Clough - and has the pictures to prove it.
Matt is a regular voice on the radio, hosting The Matt Forde Show every Friday night on the Sony-Award winning talkSPORT. He has also recently appeared as a guest on The Now Show, The News Quiz (Radio 4) and Al Murray’s Radio 2 Show (Radio 2).Matt is a writer on 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4) and Stand-Up for the Week (Channel 4) and regularly reviews the papers for Sky News. And has recently appeared on the panel for Have I Got news For You (BBC One).
“A first-class comic” The Guardian
“Good solid gags and a great deal of charm” Time Out
“A class act… you definitely won’t be disappointed’ George Galloway
SHORT AND CURLY: A Curly Night In
Join highbrow sketch group member Curly for a relaxing night in with his classic solo sketches such as "the one where he watches paint dry","counting buttons" and "the dull sketch". Hopefully he'll avoid any disruption from that anarchic and ridiculous Short character.
Expect high energy, shambolic sketches, musical parodies, big characters and an even bigger prop list.
ThreeWeeks ★★★★

Broadway Baby

The List
"Sketch comedy duo don't let any opportunity for a laugh escape"
Julian Deane
Julian Deane has been wowing audiences across the country with his genius punch lines and perfect delivery.
Having first performed stand up in 2005, Julian’s brilliant, utterly original and hilarious routines have earned him appreciation, recognition and praise from audiences across the country as well as prominent figures in the comedy industry.
Furthermore, he has proved his talent by winning some of the most prestigious stand-up comedy competitions in the country and is also in big demand as a writer (Mock the Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Morgan Spurlock’s New Britannia)
“Deliciously twisted… a stream of seriously good gags… quick, sharply written and endlessly repeatable lines” The Guardian
“It’s just a matter of time before Julian Deane gets a boost up the comedy rankings… His trick is to make you think you’re watching standard stand-up fare, then twisting expectations with sharp, original punchlines” The Independent
“Assured and brilliant… Deane is a class apart… a master of hilarious twists and turns” Chortle
