BRENNAN REECE
WINNER: ENGLISH COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR 2015
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.

EDFRINGE PREVIEWS!

A fantastic double bill of Edinburgh Fringe previews from David Mills & Jonathan Hearn.

DAVID MILLS: DON’T GET ANY IDEAS
Free. Focus people! David Mills is back with brand new, razor sharp rants delivered with signature cocktail swagger and a biting, acerbic wit. Hilarious tirades covering celebrity pop culture, ISIS, politicians, and London life. Mills gleefully ‘skewers sacred cows with a droll precision’ (Fest). Like a mash-up of Dave Allen and US political satirist and Letterman successor Stephen Colbert. Expect a smart hour of spikey comedy and irreverent commentary for grown-ups. ‘A class act. David Mills is heading for the big time’ (Time Out). ‘Devilishly charming’ (Chortle.co.uk).

JONATHAN HEARN: ALWAYS JON, NEVER JOFF
Following a sold out show at The Proud Archivist earlier this year, Jonathan Hearn further enhances his solo stand-up show – previously titled Jonathan Hearn’s Bits – for the Camden Fringe 2015.
Expect red wine, jokes, wildly inaccurate stories, puppetry, a few ditties, a short play and a measure of brandy.
