A ‘one-off’ final live show!! – all your favourites for the very last time??

Music, Dance, Theatre, Choreography or Performance Art? Or all of the above! Or is it none of the above. Well, both are sort of right… In a way. Confused? Read on…

STOMP is a movement, of bodies, objects, sounds - even abstract ideas. But what makes it so appealing is that the cast uses everyday objects, but in non-traditional ways.

There's no speech, no dialogue, not even a plot.

So why go see STOMP? Well, have you ever composed a symphony using only matchbooks as instruments? Or created a dance routine based around sweeping? You may have done this a little, but get a group of rhythmically gifted, extremely coordinated bodies with definitive personalities, and you have the makings for STOMP.

The international hit performance-dance rhythm meisters return to London for a long overdue West End residency.

The Comedy Tree opened in 2002 and was the brain-child of comics Pete Jonas & Erich McElroy. While the actual details are forever blurred by alcohol, their dream was to start a comedy night.

Combining Pete’s evil corporate marketing skills and Erich’s ability to smile and nod, the two approached management at the Litten Tree Putney and told them a massive pack of lies. The landlord bought it and new chapter in London’s comedy scene was born.
 
The Comedy Tree is now based at the Walkabout Inn Putney & is one of South West London’s most popular comedy clubs, renowned for it's high quality shows and a fun and intimate atmosphere.
 
The club regularly features award winning comedians from the international circuit – hosting Russell Brand, Lee Mack, Reginald D Hunter, Julia Morris & Phil Nicol amongst others.
 
Along with a full comedy show there’s cheap drinks, food – snacks & platters, a late bar ‘til one o’clock, live DJ after the show – you’d have to go a long way to find a better comedy night.

Doors open 8.00pm. Show starts 8.30pm.

You must be over 18 years of age to attend this event. Any person unable to present valid picture identification indicating they are 18 or over will not be admitted to this event and will not receive a refund.

Line up to be confirmed

It's been a wet old summer, but the if.comedy awards panel has brought in a superb harvest of nominees from the Edinburgh Festival, and so we present the organic, fresh, environmentally-friendly cream of the crop for the Intelligent Finance Comedy Awards Season 2007.

Our noble winner of the if.comedy Award 2007 is the hilarious goat-kissing Brendon Burns, who headlines a superb line-up of funny people winging their way to the Garrick Theatre to show the capital what they're worth. He'll be joined by fellow nominees Andrew Lawrence, Andrew Maxwell, Ivan Brackenbury's Hospital Radio Roadshow and Pappy's Fun Club as well as the budding Best Newcomer Award winner, Tom Basden.

Sunday 7th October

Brendon Burns – So I suppose this is offensive now!
If.comedy Award Winner

He got banned from the BBC for snogging a goat, handed out enough mushrooms at the Glastonbury Festival to get a thousand people high, and walked off the set of “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here NOW” live on air. Somewhat inevitably, perhaps, Brendon Burns has now won the country’s top comedy award after years of rave reviews. This is an hour from the most refreshingly honest comedian of his generation, at the very top of his game, and not to be missed.

“The must-see show of the Edinburgh Fringe” - The Times

“Something akin to a psycho-comedic orgasm” - The Scotsman

Andrew Lawrence – Social Leprosy for Beginners and Improvers
If.comedy Award Nominee

Andrew has now built up an impressive 100% success rate with if.comedy nominations having been shortlisted last year for the Best Newcomer award. He’s now a regular favourite on the comedy circuit, having built a base of discerning fans addicted to the bleakly dark comic world he creates. With his flawless timing and delivery, he can induce tears of laughter from audience members almost against their will.

“A bountiful ball of hatred” - The Times

“Lawrence is dazzling” - Independent on Sunday

Sunday 14th October

Andrew Maxwell – Waxin’
If.comedy Award Nominee

Selling-out your show is one thing, but Andrew Maxwell actually has ticket touts operating outside his these days. It all comes from winning C4’s King of Comedy show in 2004, being named the ‘Comic’s Comic’ at the Chortle Awards in 2005, and receiving reviews like ‘Maxwell turned it around, the first act to actually remember this is a live show’ from The Times for his performance at the renowned Secret Policeman’s Ball. Get tickets from the box office while you can.

“Andrew Maxwell is the coolest best mate you never had… pure magic” - Metro

“It’s this compelling comic’s most successful show yet” - The Times

Pappy’s Fun Club
If.comedy Award Nominee

Pappy’s Fun Club emerged from the murky waters of last year’s Free Fringe as a beacon of hilarity, charming audiences with a joyful hour of superb, uplifting revelry. Their unique brand of ‘post-sketch’ comedy, featuring anyone from Abraham Lincoln to the directions Up, Down, Left and Right, has now featured on BBC Radio 2 and 4, earned them a Chortle Award nomination and now an if.comedy nomination. And all of this thanks to a mysterious hospitalised benefactor called Pappy…

“Pappy’s Fun Club does exactly what it says on the tin. And it’s glorious stuff” - The Times

“A triumph of personality over format” - The Independent

Sunday 21st October

Tom Basden - Won’t Say Anything
Winner - If.comedy Best Newcomer Award

One quarter of acclaimed sketch show Cowards (Radio 4, BBC 3), Tom’s wonderfully eclectic show is an hour of deadpan musical whimsy, interspersed with words, pictures and even some tiny films. His songs cover such wildly varying subjects as ghosts, Chris Tarrant, glass eyes, suicide, ventriloquism, hypochondria, Iraq and love. He also offers 60 second documentaries about swimming the channel and ducks, an art exhibition, and coffee and tea making facilities.

“Reminiscent of Gary Larson's The Far Side” - The Independent

“Exquisitely crafted comedy” - Chortle

Ivan Brackenbury’s Hospital Radio RoadShow
If.comedy Award Nominee

Hospital Radio’s flagship presenter’s ‘Disease-Hour’ captures the fun and excitement you’d expect from being ill in hospital with Games, Giveaways, Patient’s requests and Ivan’s special blend of music and chat. Previously heard on Radio 1 in Stewart Lee and Richard Herring’s show Fist of Fun, this was Ivan’s (aka Tom Binns) first full length show and a master class in insensitivity.

“The most deliciously enjoyable I’ve spent on the Fringe” - The Guardian

“As far as laughs per minute, you can do no better than Tom Binns” - The Independent

Age Limit

Over 16s only.

At the centre of his own universe sits matinee idol Garry Essendine: suave, hedonistic and too old, says his wife, to be having numerous affairs. His line in harmless, infatuated debutantes is largely tolerated but playing closer to home is not. Just before he escapes on tour to Africa the full extent of his misdemeanours is discovered. And all hell breaks loose.

You have reached a moment in life when a little restraint would be becoming. You are no longer a debonair, irresponsible juvenile. You are an eminent man advancing, with every sign of reluctance, into middle age.

Noël Coward’s Present Laughter premiered in the early years of the Second World War just as such privileged lives were threatened with fundamental social change. Staged at the National for the first time, with Alex Jennings as Garry.

Consistently funny, Jason is one of the most exciting and popular stand-up comics on the UK and international comedy scene. Now he is bringing his brand new sell-out show to London’s West End.

“I saw Jason Byrne for the first time the other week. I had never seen him before then, but he is a star. I couldn’t begin to describe his material other than to say that when he stands in front of people for more than 20 seconds they begin to laugh out loud – and they don’t stop until he goes away. Jason Byrne is such a mad hybrid, so instinctual that above everything else, you are just blown away by the sheer force of his talent and charisma.”
The Independent

“Watching Jason Byrne on stage is like watching Ronaldinho play for Barcelona. It’s not a matter of if the magic will come, but when and how often. He’s effortlessly masterful. If you leave disappointed from this show, don’t ever bother going to see comedy again.”
Edinburgh Evening News

'Awesome, amazing, brilliant, hilarious and the outright King of Live Comedy.'
The Times

'Part Spike Milligan, part Duracell Bunny…total genius'  
Independent

'If you're not on the floor helpless with laughter… you're probably dead!'
The List

Stars and Angels by arrangement with Tony Denton Promotions present SANDRA BERNHARD.

In her own voice, unfiltered, Bernhard is a living, breathing bonfire.
New York Times

One moment, (Bernhard's) voice is lulling you into a wistful sigh;
the next, she's knocking you back several rows with it.
-San Francisco Weekly

For 25 years, Sandra Bernhard has been challenging fans and critics with her knife-edged humor, satire and emotive performances on film, television and stage. For the first time in six years Tony Denton Promotions brings Sandra back to the UK to tour her brand new hit Broadway show Everything Bad & Beautiful.

Produced by Grammy Award winner, Cynthia Daniels, Everything Bad & Beautiful is a real kind of conglomeration of political, personal and popular culture observations woven into a show. The album of the same name, available via her website www.sandrabernhard.com, contains not only the powerful material from the live show, but also brand new music and video footage. The album, that includes the single "Forever," was produced by Mark Saunders (Cyndi Lauper, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Shiny Toy Guns).

Her first film role was in 1983 in the Martin Scorsese film, The King of Comedy that also starred Jerry Lewis and Robert De Niro, other film credits include Inside Monkey Zetterland, Hudson Hawk and Dinner Rush. From 1991-1996, she portrayed Nancy on the hit TV show, Roseanne. She has guest starred in many other major US TV shows including Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope and Will & Grace. She has appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, as well as The Tonight Show, Rosie O'Donnell and The View. In 2001, Bernhard hosted her own talk show, The Sandra Bernhard Experience.

Along with writing for performance, Bernhard has put her musings into book form. Currently working on her fourth collection, her books, just as her shows, are full of personal insights, introspective rants, prose and essays.

One of the greatest and funniest comedies of the Restoration, The Country Wife tells the story of Horner, a notorious and lascivious man-about-town and his ingenious scheme for the rampant and mass seduction of the women of London society. By spreading the false rumour of his own impotence, he gains the sympathy of the husbands of the town and, more importantly, free access to their wives.
Meanwhile the newly-married Pinchwife desperately attempts to keep his naïve country bride from the clutches of predatory London bachelors. When she and Horner meet, events spiral out of his control…
Award-winning actors David Haig, Patricia Hodge and Toby Stephens lead the company in Wycherley's dazzling comedy. Joining them is exciting young actress Fiona Glascott in the title role.
