Andrew Bird‘s fledgling steps into comedy began an under aged drinker in a Northampton pub, eliciting laughter from ‘the lads’ in the tap room. An unsuccessful stint at art collage was followed by a more successful stint at working in a factory but he really missed the tap room bantz. London called and, once again, he had the pub regulars laughing but was also performing short spots on The Big Smoke’s legendary open mic circuit.

Years of hard graft up and down the country, a multitude of Edinburgh appearnces and wrote on various TV shows meant he could now marry, buy a car, a house and even afford some children, just in time for the worst recession in living memory.

All the above has forged his mildly grumpy, slightly stressed and bemused style of performance which not only make him stand out from the comedy masses but will, no doubt, contribute to an untimely death. Andrew has written for Jason Manford, Matt Lucas and Jon Richardson and provided tour support for Michael McIntyre, Mickey Flanagan and Rob Brydon.

Newcastle’s Dave Johns started out as a brickie, became a stand up in the late Eighties, built an enviable reputation amongst peers and punters, then decided to throw it all away and become a film star.  Now best known for his appearances in the ‘Fishermen’s Friends‘ films and playing the title role in ‘I, Daniel Blake‘ we can assure you it’s on a comedy stage where Dave really comes into his own. Unmissable.
