Phuket Punchline Comedy sends in the April fools

PHUKET: ‘Exciting, eccentric and experienced’ describes the three acts appearing on April 20 at the Holiday Inn Resort Patong for the second Phuket Punchline Comedy Club show of 2011.

Three very different acts from the highly respected UK comedy circuit are set to amuse and entertain with their own inimitable comedy styles.

Compere for the evening is the high energy, high camp David Morgan. Erupting on to the comedy scene, Morgan compered the critically acclaimed and very first Lunchtime club at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 2009.

A born presenter, Morgan’s friendly style and ability to involve the entire audience are fast-establishing him as one of Britain’s brightest comic talents.

Also on the card is the unique and imaginative Dan Evans. Over the past decade his hilarious brand of twisted logic has delighted the British public during times of crisis.

Described by The Scotsman as “skilful and surreal”, Evans has also written for such shows as “Rory Bremner Who Else?” and Channel 4’s, “The Eleven O’Clock Show”.

Vladimir McTavish completes the line-up. A showman of the highest order, he has a vast comedic pedigree which includes 12 Edinburgh Fringe festivals and numerous television credits.

McTavish was a regular performer on the BAFTA – nominated “Live Floor Show”, playing the character Bob Dolally – and has written for such comedians as Stewart Lee and the irreverent Frankie Boyle.

The Punchline Comedy series is sponsored by the Phuket Gazette.

Doors open at 8pm, with the show due to begin at 8:30pm. Tickets can be bought from a number of outlets across the island and cost 960 baht.

Entrance on the night will cost 1,200 baht. For more information visit www.phuketcomedy.com
