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.

Pam Ann is the alter ego of Australian comedian Caroline Reid. An emerging icon in gay culture, she portrays the air-hostess Pam Ann, a mixture of drag, camp and glamour, and a pun on the airline Pan Am. Reid as Pam Ann can be seen on tour in the United Kingdom as well as the Bloomsbury Theatre, she also has a guest-role in the BBC show Fasttrack. She also frequently conducts shows in major cities in the USA, Canada and her native Australia.

Performances tend to emphasise the vagaries of air travel, including the identifying quirks of various airlines around the world, mixed with a generous dose of ribald humour and double entendre. Reid often caters to airline employees and frequent travellers in her audience, directly involving them in the performance.

Wagner’s final masterpiece returns to The Royal Opera repertory this December with Bernard Haitink as conductor. The music is some of the most powerful in all Wagner, combining action with an incredible sense of poise and spirituality, a showpiece for orchestra and singers alike. With the addition of an exceptionally fine cast, for musical performance alone this will be a major musical event to experience. But the power of Parsifal also lies in the tense conflicts of its drama, as Parsifal battles temptation to restore the power of the order of knights who guard the Holy Grail. Klaus Michael Grüber’s production presents striking images such as the vast table of the Knights of the Grail – a tableau of ‘Last Supper’ resonances – and the otherworldly castle of the evil magician Klingsor.

Chroma Triple Bill - Chroma/Different Drummer/The Rite of Spring

Ashton’s Sylvia was restored to the splendour of its elegant and oppulent three-act form for the 75th anniversary celebrations of The Royal Ballet and it is now firmly back in the Company’s repertory. Its story, from Greek myth, tells of Sylvia, whose vows of chastity mean she cannot return the love of the shepherd Aminta. Eros, up to his tricks, intervenes, only to see Sylvia abducted by the hunter Orion. Rescuing her, Eros finally brings the lovers together.
Ashton was inspired by the music of Leo Délibes to create such great choreographic sequences as the famous Act III pas de deux and the role of the mischievous Eros, one of those delightful, darkly comic characterizations for which Ashton became known and loved. With Margot Fonteyn as his original Sylvia, Ashton made the title role a wonderful showcase for virtuosity, invention and classical beauty. And it is indeed a beautiful ballet to look at – the epitome of Ashton style in stage settings of great detail and painterly splendour.
