Join Mad Ron (Reg D Hunter tour support) and Jerry Bakewell (as seen on BGT) for an hour of character comedy. The very best club sets from some of the circuit's best and up and coming character comedians.
Mad Ron is a regular on the pro comedy circuit to critical acclaim. Nominated for "Best Show" at the Leicester Comedy Festival. A masterclass in criminality (and comedy writing) from Uxbridge’s third hardest man. Packed with gags,.... (Lucy Porter, Twitter).
Me and my partner loved Ron, one of our top 3 performances over the 3 days we were at the fringe. Had us laughing throughout and has bought us fantastic memories. Great story telling and interactive. Becca (EdFringe Review.
Jerry Bakewell performed on Britain's got Talent in 2022 - Although he didn't get the judges vote the public acclaim was overwhelming. Former Heavyweight champion at Lucha Britannia wrestling.

News and Reviews for this Show

August 14, 2024  The Scotsman
Mad Ron himself is a delightfully unreconstructed hardman. Not that hard. But definitely hard enough to register on the geezer scale. He despises those who vape, yearns for the days when soap was solid and has funny diatribes about vegetarians, Liverpool, lettuce and France.

He is an excellent MC, pushing on through the show because the hour has three characters crammed into it, first of which is Kitty Cassis, astrologist/beautician, followed by Mr French Fries, who crams more visual gags and sound effects into his set than would seem possible. The randomness actually helps the comedy a lot, as you feel he is as clueless as we are. The room gets quite competitive over his game of Catchphrase but before things get too heated, Ron introduces Jerry Bakewell whose Mexican wrestler outfit belies the cleverness of his act.

Ron and Jerry do a two-hander, I am told, and on the basis of tonight I think it might be rather good. Jerry just might be the only comic you will see this August doing quality accountant material, long form “shape-based gangs” gags and alliterative tongue twisters about Portobello. Impressive stuff.
