Verve website
Silky presents a night of fun featuring one-woman antidote to Islamophobia, Isma Almas, 'so funny I put him in my new TV show' (according to Steve Coogan) Andrew O'Neill, deadly beauty who has forgotten more about comedy than you'll ever know, Mickey Noonan, and lumpy Geordie Barry Dodds. We eat the news so you don't have to. 8pm show, £5 a ticket (we urge you to buy them in advance from the venue).
‘Silky's not pushy or hardfaced at all - just very mischievous... stand up in its purest, rawest form: it was amazing to watch. One of the bravest and most unusual sets of the festival.' Daily Post
Calling all Leeds folks.. could you tell your chums about this show? I think if we get our gang to come along, it'll help kick start a new comedy scene. We're only a little venue downstairs, but it's a lot of fun, and it'll be a very supportive environment for a change. We're not doing stand-up comedy. Just making ourselves and each other laugh, with a select crowd (i.e. those who've paid the fiver)..I've had 40 tickets printed, and if we can sell those out before the show, it'll be lovely. We can probably cram a couple more in, but only if they don't mind being friendly with strangers.
