Clitheroe Comedy Club

Strictly Over 18's Only

Clitheroe Comedy Club returns for a winter warming session to blow the cobwebs from the early New Year fog.  Let's face it, we'll all need a laugh in January.

***ACT REPLACEMENT***

ALLYSON JUNE SMITH is replacing Jonny Awsum on Friday night's comedy line up due to unforeseen circumstances.
 

MARTIN MOR

Martin comes from Northern Ireland, and after a successful career as a circus performer, he turned his attention on the unsuspecting comedy circuit.

With almost 30 years experience as a professional performer, Martin has established himself as one of the UK’s most popular and in-demand comedians.

Martin has performed successfully at events of all description; from the Hammersmith Apollo to a show for the inmates of an Italian prison, from comedy clubs to performing before members of the British Royal Family.

Very much the comedian’s comedian, Martin has been the support act of choice for; Frankie Boyle, Jack Dee, Lee Evans, Jasper Carrot, Patrick Kielty, Johnny Vegas, Steve Coogan, and once, Tina Turner!

JAMES SHERWOOD

Like many an Essex boy before him, James Sherwood was raised in Oxford, Bristol, Essex, and London, went to Magdalen College, Oxford and sang in the choir. Early comedy success included being a semi-finalist in ITV’s stand-up talent show Take the Mike, being a runner-up in the BBC New Comedy Awards and the FHM Holsten Pils Comedy Final.

James has made a name for himself on the live circuit as a musical comedian par excellence, sandwiching topical material amongst his self-penned original comic songs. Although this involves lugging a keyboard around with him, it’s worth it – songs about grammatical inaccuracies and failed nightclub courtships have had audiences literally crying with laughter. He regularly reviews the newspapers on Sky News, writes a regular blog on The Guardian website and spends most Sundays singing in a church choir, despite not actually being religious.
 

"Brilliantly conceived and very funny … Sherwood has phenomenal stage presence"
The Scotsman
 

“Imaginative musical jokes and beautifully crafted original comedy songs…The material he offers is fresh, contemporary and pin-sharp original.”
