“Rollercoaster ride of black comedy gold” The List
“You won’t see many comedy shows that actually exert g-force. But if you’re a passion junkie like me, there is no better place to get your fix than from Phil Nichol…exhilarating, incredibly funny and clever” The Scotsman
“A genius of a show” The Herald
“Delightfully shocking and hilarious at the same time” Hairline
“You could power a small market town from this performance. Add to that storytelling nous, stagecraft surprises and a brazen disregard for personal dignity and you’ve got a shameless shaggy dog story to warm the cockles of the heart” The Times.

Preceding Phil Nichol will be comedy guest Paul F Taylor.

Paul  is one of the most exciting  acts on the circuit and one of the few that never fails to make the audience laugh. A whirlwind of energy, he applies impeccable attention to detail to his beautifully crafted one liners. Paul is a superb writer and his keen eye for the absurd in everyday life creates some wickedly funny and astute observational comedy.
