Dartmouth Comedy Festival 2018

THE RETURN OF THE FLAVEL COMEDY FESTIVAL BRINGS YOU FOUR DAYS OF RIOTOUS AND RAUCOUS FUN!

Thursday 1 March, 8pm

Starting on Thursday evening with endlessly charming Steve Shanyaski, whose cheeky, roguish warmth combines surreal observations with wildly tangential imaginings in his off-kilter set pieces. He leads his audiences, Pied Piper-like, down the charming avenues of his inner mind until they are fully immersed in ‘Stevie World’. Tickets £14

Friday 2 March, 8pm

On Friday evening is “The Podfather” (Guardian) and star of Radio 4’s ‘Relativity’, Richard Herring with his ‘gloriously infantile’ new show ‘Oh Frig, I’m 50.’ This follows on from ‘Oh F***, I’m 40!’, as he examines how his life has changed, from irresponsible, single kidult, literally fighting his way through a mid-life crisis, to married father who is half-way to the telegram from the Queen (though, given she will be 140 in 2067, she might forget to send it). ‘A delight in mischief, provocation and inspired rudeness’ (Guardian) Tickets £18

Saturday 3 March, 2pm

Saturday afternoon brings Jonny Awsum's family show for kids of all ages from 5 to 105 filled with Jonny's unique combination of music and laughter featuring 'This is a Musical' and 'The Triangle Song' as seen on Britain's Got Talent and the very best of Jonny's live shows. Followed by a meet and greet session with Jonny and a photo opportunity with the bowler hats made famous by Ant and Dec! ‘Brilliantly funny… we couldn't want for anything more!’ David Walliams. Adult tickets £14, £12 for under 18’s, family ticket £45 (2 x adult + 2 x children)

Saturday 3 March, 8pm

On Saturday evening we meet Georgina (star of Georgina's Wedding Blogs) who is getting married at the Flavel and it's got to be perfect. She's having 100 wedding rehearsals first and YOU are invited. ‘It's Got To Be Perfect’ is a high energy, semi-improvised show in which anything can, and will happen! Performed by critically acclaimed character comedian Anna Morris, star of Comic Relief and Ch4's Lee & Dean, Georgina is on the verge of a wedding related breakdown. Can the audience help her hold it together? With shambolic attempts at entertaining her guests, outrageous wedding plans, ridiculous rules and crazy commands, audience members are roped into playing the most important wedding roles culminating in a shocking finale. Be warned! Nothing will get in the way of Georgina's perfect day... Tickets £16
