The Coastal Comedy Show headlined by Raymond and Mr Timpkins! Legends of the comedy circuit.
Likened to Morecambe and Wise and the Two Ronnies, anyone who can bring the house down with nothing more than a couple of Lidl carrier bags and an Oasis song have to be seen to be believed.
Lightning fast choreography meets uber swift editing in a fantasmagorical collision of quality entertainment. An overload of velvet, sandals and multi-hued wool provides a startling accompaniment, the whole effect being that of a slim man and a fat man putting their bums in your face.
It's freakish entertainment on a twisted stick', the charismatically challenged uncle and nephew duo, invite you into a world of stylophone rock anthems, brushed velvet arousal and 'indulgent, brilliant tackiness.‘
"The most enjoyable hour on the Fringe. You'll wake up tomorrow with sore cheeks (the ones on your face mainly!)" Jason Manford
“A mad, anarchic triumph of stupidity over style. Not to be missed” THE GUARDIAN
“Spectacularly funny” TIME OUT
Opening the show is the fabulously funny Matt Price. Among his fellow comics Matt Price is known for having some of the most extraordinary and outrageous stories drawn from the wilder side of life. And yet this self-effacing Cornish born comic brings real warmth and heart to his tales.
"A terrific comedian and a wonderful storyteller." ★★★★ The Scotsman
Also support on the night from Sandi Smith who began performing in 2013 telling her stories with acerbic wit whilst managing to maintain a warm connection with her audiences. In her first six months of performing, she reached the semi final of Funny Women and the heats of the BBC New Comedy Awards.
The night is hosted by Adrienne Coles Advance tickets are £15* (£20 on the door) £12 for concessions (£16 on the door).

Kicking off this top night of entertainment is Joey Page. Joey is eccentric and he is somewhat of an undiscovered sparkling gem. Magical swirling surreal comedy. An antidote to the woes of the world, Joey takes you through the tangled joy of his charmingly childlike logic. Creating a world of uniquely offbeat characters and tall tales of fancy.
"Joey Page is brilliantly inventive and imaginative and very funny" Josie Long
"This innately likeable young man has an instinct for funny" Chortle
