LCS SPECIAL OFFER - half price tickets for Doc Brown & Adam Bloom this Friday!

That's right - we've got another special offer for you lucky, lucky people...

Those good folks at Just the Tonic love you guys so much that they're offering followers of Leicester Comedy Scene HALF PRICE tickets to their Friday night show featuring Doc Brown and Adam Bloom.
Just like the offer we ran last month, all you have to do is buy tickets for the show at http://www.justthetonic.com/Leicester-Comedy/shows/friday-16-nov-2012/803/ and enter 'LEICESTERCOMEDYSCENE' in the Promo Codes box, and your price-per-ticket will be slashed from £9 to just £4.50 - bargain!!

Doc Brown is a former rapper who has been performing stand-up since 2007, combining improvisation and spoof raps with stories from his life, told with the charismatic delivery of a seasoned performer.
Adam Bloom has been a popular figure on the stand-up circuit for many years now, has appeared recently on Mock the Week and is described by Ricky Gervais as "one of my favourite comedians for about 10 years. He not only has brilliant lines but an intense and fragile honesty". So there you go.
Friday's bill is rounded off with some off-the-wall silliness from Howard Read - creator of animated character Little Howard, and keeping things running smoothly is your compere Tim Clark.
Not bad for £4.50 eh? Get those tickets now!

Sunshine and laughter - bumper weekend of comedy coming up!

You lucky, lucky people.
As if the gorgeous weather wasn't reward enough for the foul extended winter we've all had to endure for so long, there's also a fine crop of comedy happening in the city this weekend to broaden your smiles and further flush your sun-kissed faces.

Shouty, sweating nutbox Nick Helm is headlining Just the Tonic on Friday and Saturday (if you haven't seen him yet I would strongly recommend doing so), supported by Romesh Ranganathan, Dan Evans and Tim Clark. Get your tickets here: http://www.justthetonic.com/leicester-comedy/

Pretty much the antithesis of Helm, Peep Show's very own sweet little songbird Isy Suttie brings her tour show Pearl and Dave to the Y Theatre on Friday night (see my previous post for an exclusive interview). It's a part-musical love story set in her home town of Matlock, and promises to be as touching as it is funny. Tickets etc reside here: http://www.leicesterymca.co.uk/y-theatre-whats-on-details.php?listing=1073

Also on Friday night at the Cookie Jar is Shaggers Comedy, which returns to the city after a sell-out show during the comedy festival. As the name suggests, it features a quartet of comedians telling hilarious real-life tales of a sexual nature. For more info and tickets, get thee here: http://www.thecookiejarleicester.co.uk/events/shaggers-comedy/

And if you're not all laughed out (or hungover & sunburnt enough) by Sunday evening, there's another dose of Should I Stay or Should I Go? at Kayal, the showcase for new comics presented by Spiky Mike, in which the audience decides who stays on and who goes home to cry themselves to sleep. Details etc be here: http://www.funhousecomedy.co.uk/html/fun_house_comedy_venues_leicester.htm

So there you have it. There is literally NO EXCUSE for not going to see at least one of these fine shows this weekend (and no I will not accept "I forgot coz I was drinking in the park from midday").
