Lone Star Comedy Club - The funniest night out in Folkestone

Line up for the next Lonestar Comedy Club show on 27th June is:
Compere - Maff Brown,  support - Henry Prater and headline act Rob Deering.
As ever there will be two comedy newcomers added to the bill close to the date of the show.
 


Rob Deering

Rob Deering exploded on to the comedy scene in 2000, reaching the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award semi-finals, the finals of the BBC New Comedy Award and the final of the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year Competition, as well as winning the prestigious Amused Moose New Talent Award. 2001 brought further success with Rob hosting the legendary Comedy Zone at the Edinburgh Festival; this led to a personal request from Emo Phillips to support him for his festival run.

With his easy charm, cheesy singing voice, razor-sharp wit and clownish physicality Rob has quickly established himself as a firm favourite on the London circuit and has played at all the major comedy clubs nationwide. He slayed audiences as a headliner on The Comedy Network and has been commissioned by channel 4 to write and host the comedy series Lesser-Spotted Britain.

Bob returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2003, having performed in The World Comedy Tour TV show (Paramount/Granada) in Australia in which he starred alongside the very best international stand-up comedians from around the world.

Henry Paker

Henry Paker started stand-up January 2006, and in 2008, he won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year title and came second in the Laughing Horse new act competition.

He is also a cartoonist, and his book, Don’t Arm Wrestle A Pirate, which he created with comedian Dave Skinner, was featured on the Richard and Judy Book Club for Christmas 2007.

“Henry Paker delivers a mightily impressive set that is rarely less than superb… The man will be a star.” Chortle
“…the star is Henry Paker; every one of his jokes is built up perfectly, and the punch-line is always hilarious. Clever material, but silly enough not to alienate anyone.” Three Weeks, Edinburgh Festival 2007, ****

Maff Brown

Lonestar Comedy Club welcomes back one of our very favourite Comperes. ‘Maff is a great hit every time he visits’ says Ian Stewart from Lonestar.

His growing stature is being recognized through an increasing number of appearances on TV.

Maff is the founder of the Award Wining Outside the Box Comedy Club in Kingston. Within 3 and half months of the launch, Outside the Box won the prestigious "BEST COMEDY VENUE" for London, small club from Chortle.co.uk
