George Egg, who is fresh from rave reviews at the Edinburgh Festival, headlines at the Comedy Club shows on October 16 at Plymouth Albion’s Brickfields ground and on October 17 at Derriford Health & Leisure Centre. Wildly brandishing the world’s second biggest briefcase George bounds onto the stage with a unique, innovative and incredible barrage of props, jokes and top notch whimsy. Described as ‘a Tommy Cooper for the twenty first century’, a world class performer that’s sure to delight. It’s impossible to tell what George Egg is, he has to be experienced in person. Also on the bill are Danny Pensive and Penella Mellor, along with resident MC Chris Danny Pensive and (below) Penella Mellor Brooker. Danny Pensive wanders the world wide eyed with wonder, filling his diary with delightful, charming tales to share with audiences. Overflowing with charm, Danny’s infectious glee and humour have marked him out a distinctly brilliant act on the circuiy. As seen on ITV’s Stand Up Heroes, Mr Pensive has also supported touring shows of One Man Star Wars and One Man Lord Of The Rings to great critical acclaim. The third act of the evening, Penella Mellor, has made a huge impact on the circuit in a relatively short space of time. This delightfully dark mistress of mirth will leave you gasping in both shock and laughter. One of the handpicked finalists in the 2014 BBC New Comedian Of The Year awards, Penella is on the path the stardom and that path will lead her through Plymouth. The night will be hosted as ever by resident MC Chris Brooker who can now be seen peddling his comedic wares every second Sunday on Challenge TV.
