There is a circuit of brilliant comics in this country who haven’t been on telly for a number of reasons, but I want you to know them, I want you to enjoy them! Maybe they’re up and coming, maybe they were on a late-night stand up show in the 80′s and called the host a nobhead, or maybe they just have a severe drinking problem… Either way, there are funny people out there who thrive in the live arena and want to make you laugh on a regular basis, so I’m going to tell you who they are.
My plan is this: I’m going to carefully select some of my favourite comedians and send them to local towns, and give you the best night out you’ve had for a long time!
Anyway, enough about that. We’ll see you there. Keep on laughing’ folks, and remember, there’s nothing like live!
Cheers, Jason x “
