BGT STAR NICK PAGE BRINGS COMEDY BACK TO APPLEDORE

Stand-up comedy returns to Appledore on Thursday, Nov 4th starring BGT's Nick Page. Praised by Rhod Gilbert as "the very best story teller on the comedy circuit", Nick reached the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent, and was crowned English Comedian of the Year in 2018. He has had sell out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and has performed in over 100 countries, including for our troops in Afghanistan where one of his shows even got interrupted by a missile attack!

Supporting Nick is fellow comedian Alf, a finalist of the 'So You Think You're Funny' finals in Edinburgh in 2016, and a semi-finalist in the English Comedian of the Year 2021. In 2018 he received a standing ovation at his Britains Got Talent audition. Aleisha Dixon thought he was "brilliant", David Walliams described him as "a very funny guy", while Amanda Holden said he was "really silly", which could go either way. A finalist in the UK Pun Championships and the World One Liner Championships in 2019, Alf is definitely not one to miss.

Joining them on stage is another finalist of English Comedian of the Year, Plymouth comedian Jane Hill. According to One4Review, "The audience enjoyed her so much they almost forgot to drink their pints!"

Rounding out the line-up is local comedian and event organiser Donna Landy, who has been described as "hilarious" (Wendy Liebman, American Comedy Awards Female Stand-up Comedian of the Year 1996), and "You smashed it" - Cally Beaton (BBC's QI, The Apprentice You've Been Fired)

Holding the whole show together is Cambridge MC Rob Coleman, described by Bedfordshire News as "very strong and extremely funny ... a naturally funny man."

"It's great that comedy is coming back to Appledore after the comedy festival in September, it was so much fun. We're all really looking forward to seeing people have a good laugh", said festival organiser and comedian Donna Landy.

The "Guy Fawkes Comedy Special" show is at 7:30pm on Thursday, Nov 4th at the Appledore Social Club, New Quay St, EX39 1LU. Tickets are £10 in advance from www.appledorebookfestival.co.uk or £12 on the door (cards accepted). Full bar available.
