Ivan Brackenbury + Support

THIS MONTHS HEADLINE ACT IS THE FANSTASTIC - IVAN BRACKENBURY
As seen on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and star of BBC's Hospital People.

Inept hospital radio DJ Ivan Brackenbury is the creation of Tom Binns, a former breakfast radio host on London's XFM as well as a comedian in his own right.

As himself, Binns won the Jongleurs new act of the year, piloted his own chat show on Five called Tom Binns Munchies, and was one of the presenters on Channel 4 breakfast show RI:SE. He’s also appeared on Knowing Me Knowing Yule With Alan Partridge, Friday Night Armistice and Fist Of Fun as a comic actor.

He created Brakenbury relatively early in his career, and the character appeared on Radio 1, Virgin and GLR, before being rested as Binns developed his own radio career, which included landing XFM with a then-record £50,000 fine for talking about bestiality on air.

However, Brakenbury was resurrected for the Edinburgh Fringe 2007, where he was nominated for the if.comedy prize for the best show, and his roadshow, complete with inappropriate records and bungled cues, is now a regular fixture on the live circuit.

He went on to star in the BBC One comedy Hospital People.
"With DJ Ivan Brackenbury, ‘Binns has his character nailed and he mines the comic seam, ruthlessly to create top-quality entertainment with practically universal appeal" - The Guardian * * * *

OPENING THE SHOW IS SPLENDING PSYCHIC COMEDIUM - IAN D MONTFORT

Multi award winning comedian Tom Binns has performed his ‘Psychic’ Character Ian D Montfort to 5 star reviews around The World and in the smash hit British film "Eaten by Lions"


He’s entertained and amazed skeptics and believers alike on his own BBC Radio 2 series ‘Ian D Montfort is: Unbelievable’ and his critically acclaimed BBC 1 Friday night series Hospital People .


During this time Tom claims to have discovered a genuine 'psychic' ability and now performs as The ‘Psychic’ Comedium. In his performances Tom clearly makes jaw dropping revelations about his audience but is he gifted or is he deluded or is he just full of shit? 


Whatever you decide his gift for comedy is undeniable and his 'psychic' powers are unbelievable! 


“Binns has either gone native or so deeply ironic that he’s lost touch with reality. I can only assume he sells more tickets if he claims to be the real deal. In this post truth ‘end of days’ era we’re living in, why not? Best of luck to him.“ - Evening Mail

HOST FOR THE EVENING IS TEESSIDER - MATTY OXLEY
