Sol Bernstein heads the bill at comedy night

-

FUNHOUSE Comedy Club brings another great night of laughter to the Foxlowe Arts Centre in Leek next month.

Topping the bill on Friday, May 6 is Sol Bernstein, a legend on the circuit who has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Sinatra, the Rat Pack, Lenny Bruce and Doris Day.

One part Alf Garnett, two parts Mel Brooks, and three parts like nothing you’ve ever heard.

The oldest Jewish comic in the business is a laugh a minute, delivering his lines with acidic humour and chutzpah.

Opening the night will be winner of ITV’S ‘Show Me The Funny’ the instantly loveable and unique Patrick Monahan, with his trademark hyperactiv­e and freewheeli­ng charm.

Following the release of his debut DVD he was a guest on Loose Women and also appeared alongside Philip Schofield and Jason Manford on ITV’S Comedy Annual.

More recently he appeared on ITV’S Splash of Irish-iranian decent, but brought up on Teeside he shares tales of his memories.

He exudes warmth and charisma; his friendly style mixed with his hilarious storytelli­ng leaves his audiences wanting for more.

Completing the line-up is Anthony King. His droll deadpan humour, combined with his material about his own true-life experience­s, is mixed in with a whole bunch of lies and topped off with some hilarious songs.

Compere for the night will be Liam Pickford – with his indifferen­t and grouchy style he delivers uniquely perfected punch-lines and clever observatio­ns with a touch of fantasy.

Tickets are £10 in advance. Doors 7pm, show 8pm.
