Energy World Qatar
A Lotta Lotta Laughs The Chuckle Club is bringing more LOL moments to Doha this month with another exciting line-up of hugely talented international comedians taking to the stage at Dunes Bar, Grand Hyatt Doha on November 9 and the Crowne Plaza on November 10. The three funny folk entertaining you with side-splitting jokes are… UK based Aussie Ro Campbell’s relentlessly entertaining and award winning brand of cheeky, slightly dark humour has wowed audiences everywhere from Adelaide to Bangalore, and Helsinki to Singapore, to name but a few places. He has performed at the last eight Edinburgh Fringe Festivals and made the Scotsman’s pick of Best Joke of the Fringe 2009. In 2010 he was crowned Scottish Comedian of the Year (slightly controversial being Australian and all!). Carmen Lynch recently made her second appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. She has also appeared on Inside Amy Schumer and The Good Wife. Carmen has performed for the troops on several tours in Iraq and Kuwait and recently completed a tour doing stand-up in Spanish throughout Spain and Costa Rica. John Hastings has been performing stand-up since 2006. He has won the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival Homegrown Competition. In 2012 John moved to the UK where he was given the opportunity to perform as part of the Pleasance Comedy Reserve in 2013. Since then he has performed critically acclaimed solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014 and 2015. He is a regular on the comedy circuit in the UK and across Europe and in 2014 was featured on Seann Walsh’s Late Night Spectacular at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. ✤ GO: Tickets cost QR120 and can be purchased online at Platinum List, Virgin, Q-Tickets & Ticketmaster. Shows start at 8pm. Food and drink promotions will be on offer at the event. Follow @Chuckle_Club on twitter and @chuckleclub on instagram for more information. 12
