We are thrilled to welcome Britain's darling gimp, Laurence Clark! If you don't know him yet, you gotta check out the comic filmmaker critics call:
...quick-witted and sharp comedian - grab a ticket for his great show which will have you well and truly rolling with laughter." Broadway Baby 19/8/2008
"Remarkably funny... self-depreciating yet self-assured... a damn fine comedian." Fest 17/8/2008
***************************
Biography of the artist:
"Laurence spent years studying for a PhD which he now feels is pretty useless since he turned to comedy!
Laurence has cerebral palsy and his outlook on life as a disabled person very much shapes his comedy. His first show, The All-Star Charity Show, won critical acclaim at Edinburgh Fringe in 2003. The show was named Critics' Choice in The Times and Laurence was described as a "powerful comedy voice" and "stunningly hard-hitting" by critic Kate Copstick in The Scotman's round-up of the best of the fringe.
Subsequent shows he has taken to Edinburgh Fringe include The Jim Davidson Guide to Equality, where Laurence responded to 'comic' Jim Davidson cancelling a show because wheelchair users were in his audience by doing a comedy show which he vowed to cancel if Jim turned up in his audience! In Jim Fixed It for Me he tried to come to terms with having appeared on Jim'll Fix It as a child and not getting a Jim’ll Fix It badge. His next show, 12% Evil took its title from the many famous villains who were portrayed as disabled in order to make them seem sinister and evil; e.g, Richard III, Long John Silver, Captain Hook, Dr Strangelove, various Bond baddies and of course... Heather Mills-McCartney!
Finally his last controversial show, Spastic Fantastic followed Laurence's attempts to reclaim 'spastic' as someone with cerebral palsy through stand-up comedy and hidden camera stunts."

more details coming soon :)
Opening night!!!
The last battle is here and it’s being waged in Faustlandia. From the man-made disasters in our beloved Gulf to the meltdown of our financial system, come bask in original Faustian sketches and music that brings the shortsightedness of humanity into keen, albeit comic, focus. This will all be accompanied by our first ever celestial pit orchestra, directed by Larry McCraw with the Ontological Ontiphants. Pre and Post show music will be provided by our very own house band, Eclectic Acoustic. The music starts in the backyard at 7pm, and the show starts at 8pm.
**Please plan to purchase your tickets online, the number of tickets available on the night of show is limited**
Final show!!!!
