It’s not too late to buy tickets for the Taste Cumbria comedy night in Maryport next week.
The event, which takes place on Friday August 11, launches Maryport Taste of the Sea, in partnership with Maryport Town Council – the food and drink festival which will be back in on Saturday August 12 and Sunday August 13.
Tickets cost £20 and are on sale now. The show starts at 7.30pm and takes place at Maryport ARLFC, Mealpot Road.
MC for the evening is Dave Twentyman, described as ‘brilliant’ by TV comic John Bishop. His style is upbeat, cheery and warm, and this seasoned northern comedian can endear himself to even the rowdiest of crowds.
He’s joined by three other great faces from the UK and international comedy circuit.
Andy White mixes daft voices with observational and topical humour and shifts his act from deadpan to loud and physical in a moment, while rising star Chris Washington also packs on the northern charm.
He’s been nominated as best newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe and he’s been nicknamed ‘Peter Kay for the smartphone generation’ after appearing alongside the likes of Jason Manford.
The fourth comic on stage will be Andy Askins, praised as ‘totally hilarious’ by fellow funnyman Ross Noble. Armed with a guitar and a cheeky grin, he’s bringing his musical talents to Maryport but guests are warned not to be distracted by his impish demeanour – he has dark killer lines amid his remakes of popular songs.
