Brennan is a bright young rising star who was recently crowned ‘English Comedian Of The Year’. In his few short years as a stand up comedian Brennan has received many accolades and performed all over the world, most recently in his first Australian tour. His energetic and often awkward approach to life is captured in his fast paced, vividly painted, humorous stories and is establishing himself as a circuit regular. He has appeared in BAFTA winning drama Marvellous (BBC), toured with global megastars The Who (UK Quadrophenia Tour) and played in every major comedy club in the UK. Despite him being a relative newcomer his reputation is fast becoming that of a talent to look out for.

Six phenomenal acts go head to head for your approval as poetry and comedy collide with unexpected and hilarious results!

MUSICAL CID
One Comedian. One Life. Twenty Questions. Press PLAY…
ABI ROBERTS’ MUSICAL CID is the cult comedy confessional show that asks, “Which comedian has a music collection like this?! Do they have an inner yearning to be rock ‘n’ roll icons and who listens to Michael Buble, Robbie Williams or Nirvana on the way to a gig?”

Musical CID is the show that delves into what top comedians have on their iPods, vinyl, cassettes and CDs and it’s coming to Camden Comedy Club with a different Special Guest Comedian every day!

Hosted by stand-up comedian ABI ROBERTS, it’s a forensic examination of the musical tastes, memories, hopes and dreams of well-known comedians from stage and screen.

Laugh Out London comedy club returns to Camden after a summer break with a very special Alternative Pick of the Fringe show.

We’ve chosen four of the most interesting and experimental acts with shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year and brought them together in one awesome bill of weird and wonderful comedy.

Line Up:

**ADAM HESS**
Twitter star Adam received huge acclaim for his debut hour at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, which was the perfect showcase for his silly, energetic humour.

“An hour of almost non-stop jokes, spoken at breakneck speeds by a guy who is going places” – ★★★★ Broadway Baby
“One to watch…” -Time Out
★★★★– The Public Reviews ★★★★ Arts Award Voice*

**CANDY GIGI**
Bizarre and anarchic character comedy that you wont forget. Winner of the Malcolm Hardee award for comic originality in 2014

*“Hilarious full-on insanity that’s rarely matched” – Chortle
“Intense, anarchic, and near-hysterical shows are a gem in the Fringe. This is one” – ★★★★ The Skinny*

**LETLUCE**
Sketch duo who have been making waves with their naval themed show *“LetLuce in Sea Men (A Naval Tale)” *(Making waves? Yeah?!)

“This is, fundamentally, a joyful hour of storytelling” – ★★★★ The Skinny*
*“Wonderful off the wall genius, a must see for anyone of a silly persuasion” – ★★★★.5*

**PAT CAHILL**
Pat’s Edinburgh show this year was another mix of his ecentric stand up and playful oldie time songs given a silly twist. Always a delight to watch.

*“The sheer joy and silliness in Cahill’s material is irresistibly funny” – ★★★★Time Out
“Imagine a cross between Sean Lock and Eddie Izzard and you might be getting somewhere, but nowhere close” – Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard*
