TweetEvery month at the Georgian Theatre its our hybrid/comedy mash up night featuring a fab stand up comedian opening the show, followed by two newer acts in the middle doing shorter sets, then we close the night with madcap improvised sketch from our resident improv group The Discount Comedy Checkout.
Something very different for the northern comedy scene .... and ALWAYS FANTASTIC FUN!
Featuring ....
THE DISCOUNT COMEDY CHECKOUT
100% raw improvised sketch from 4 of the following FANTASTIC performers:
Chris Lumb (BBC3: Russell Howards Good News), Eddie French, Natalie Smeaton (ITV1: Britain's Got Talent), and Phil Smith (BBC1: This is MY House).
If you've never seen improvised comedy before, you are in for a right treat. All the games, scenarios, and situations are formed and created from your suggestions ... that's right YOU, the audience.
It's very much in the style of 'Whose Line is it Anyway' but with a modern twist .... and normally a little riskier and ruder and too.
The Discount Comedy Checkout have been performing all over the UK for over 10 years and have gained rave reviews at various festivals, the Edinburgh Fringe, and a number of popular weekend comedy clubs.
"The comedy is creative and crude, quick and quirky, the performers commit completely to the games and create funny & fantastic characters at a moment's notice." - ★★★★★ Remotegoat
"There's a wonderful slapstick nature to it all but they are all impressively literate in film culture and genres too, creating brilliant, quick draw pastiches of popular cinema that will have you in stitches." - ★★★★★ Manchester's Finest
"Total fun and instantly engaging." - ★★★★★ WHODARESGRINS
