Winchester Comedy Festival: Summer Show #1

About

An evening of stand-up comedy with Marcus Brigstocke, Sally-Anne Hayward, Jarred Christmas and James Gill (MC).

Marcus Brigstocke is regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand-up to sell out audiences.

BBC Radio 4 has become somewhat of a second home to Marcus with regular appearances on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, The Now Show and Just a Minute.

He has also written and recorded three series and four specials of his hit show Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes Off.

Marcus has notched up an impressive list of TV credits including his role as team captain on Argumental (Dave), and host of The Late Edition (BBC Four) and I've Never Seen Star Wars (BBC Four).

Sally-Anne Hayward combines the things you shouldn't like about your best friend's mum with the sensibilities of Jack the Ripper.

Her confident persona and quick wit have rapidly made her a much sought-after comedian.

She's a regular compere at Glastonbury Festival, and a keenly anticipated turn on the UK comedy circuit.

Jarred Christmas has a unique style that deftly mixes gags with storytelling.

He has a dynamic onstage persona and the ability to improvise and roll with anything that's thrown his way, making his comedy sizzle with originality.

James Gill (MC) is a comedian, presenter, warm-up artiste and writer, establishing himself as one of the most popular compères on the circuit.

"I would go to the ends of the earth to share a stage with James Gill. He's a sharp & energetic hero of club comedy and a face we'll undoubtedly be seeing all over TV very soon" – Katherine Ryan

"One of the most imaginative MCs on the circuit. The crowd love him" – Rob Becket
