The venue will be the Waterside Cafe at Brentford Dock, just two minutes walk from the High Street. Doors open at 7.00.

Comedy impressario Robbie previews this month's acts...

It seems all our hard work is slowly starting to pay off with the January show bringing our biggest and best crowd yet - attentive, affectionate and laughing in all the right places. On to February…

Our MC for the evening is a chap called Michael Legge… Sharp, quick and fantastically spontaneous; Michael Legge is a unique comic talent with a background in improvisation, stand-up, writing, compering and acting. As a performer, he is cheeky, lively and charming, with a bite to keep you on the edge of your seat and he is one of the circuit's most sough-after compere's.

Our open spot this month is a friend and colleague of mine from the world of television production… Steve Parry. He is brilliantly sharp, intelligent and hugely entertaining, in a very ginger way but this I know from working alongside him, whether this will translate to the stage is anyone's guess.

Already a big competition winner, walking away with the Daily Telegraph Open Mic competition and runner up of Channel 4's 'so you think you funny', Mark Watson has form… Originally from Bristol this young comic likes to converse, when on stage, in a delicate and wisp Welsh accent, I just think he likes it. A bit silly, some might say surreal, Mark can find absurdity in the most mundane of subjects but the subject matter is not the joke… it is Mark, Mark and his ability to run with the ridiculous that will draw you in and make you laugh: a naturally gifted performer who will let you see just how funny life, and comedy can be.' f young comedians: a star for the future" - Maxim
"Magnificent Welsh miserablism and acid wit… supreme comic abilities… achingly funny material and assured delivery" - Daily Telegraph
"By day he is a semi-serious novelist, by night a gangly Pythonesque performer. Catch him before real fame comes knocking" - Evening Standard

Headline - Reginald D Hunter
Twice nominated for the most prestigious award in comedy, the Perrier, and voted best Headliner by Chortle, Reginald D Hunter the coolest man in comedy. With his softly spoken, southern drawl he is the very embodiment of composed confidence. His stage persona gently invites the audience in as his set builds and builds, never pressured to rush his material he carries you along at a meander through his world, drifting cloudlike almost, his dulcet tones swooning you along… but Reginald is more than just a smooth talker: subtle and peppered come his gags, stories and observations...both simple and brilliant.

This month you can find us at the Waterside Café Bar on THURSDAY 24TH FEBRUARY, proceedings start at 8.30pm. NO PARKING!!!
