The Coastal Comedy Show With Mike Gunn

Friday 29^th May The Barrington Arts Centre

Join us for a top night of stand-up with three fantastic acts plus your host as multi-award-winning Coastal Comedy launch their shows at The Barrington!

Our headliner is the incredible Mike Gunn who’s TV appearances include: Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1), Celebrity Deal or no Deal (CH 4), Harry Hill’s TV Burp (ITV).

Mike Gunn’s history is as interesting and entertaining as his comedy. A misspent youth and a series of grim jobs cultivated his cynical outlook on life and a perverse desire led him to the world of stand-up. A self-confessed pessimist, he describes himself as “not a natural choice for a career in laughter”.

Early in his career Mike was supporting the likes of Jo Brand and Alan Davies and has supported Lee Mack on his huge UK tour. He now headlines at all the top comedy venues in the UK and is rapidly reaching cult status on the circuit.

“Mike Gunn will make you die laughing” The Guardian

“One of the 10 leading stand-ups in Britain” The Independent on Sunday

Opening the show is Double-Emmy Award-winning comedian Fiona Allen best known for the iconic sketch show Smack The Pony and appearances in Skins, EastEnders, Waterloo Road, and more. Fiona’s warm, sharp observational comedy has been winning rave reviews on the stand-up circuit!

“Fiona Allen’s sharp wit and impeccable timing make her a standout in the comedy landscape.” The Times

Plus Alan Francis who since winning Channel 4’s So you Think You’re Funny at the 1991 Edinburgh Festival, has been a regular on the UK and International Comedy Circuit.
