Marina Comedy Club – January 2024 (16+)

**Update 13.01.24 Trevor Bickles will now appear instead of Louise Bastock**

**Update 10.11.2023 MC John Mann has now been replaced with Justin Panks**

With Angela Barnes, Philipp Kostelecky, Louise Bastock and hosted by Justin Panks!

Headlined by the hilarious Angela Barnes! Angela swapped a career in health and social care for stand-up in 2010 and hasn’t looked back.

Within just a couple of years she had won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2011 and toured around the country with her stand-up shows. Angela has starred in BBC Two’s Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, House of Games, and Hypothetical on Dave. She is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4, having featured on The Now Show and The News Quiz – including a recent stint as the host. She has also hosted BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack. Angela co-hosts the less-than-serious popular podcast We Are History (Acast) with John O’Farrell. The two history nerds discuss, explain, and laugh at interesting and quirky episodes from the olden days.

Opening the show is the brilliant Philipp Kostelecky! Philipp’s style of comedy is a little bit silly, and a little bit witty, and a little bit blue. Starting comedy in 2018 in London, Philipp’s originality, international appeal, and first-class physicality have shot him up the comedy ladder, reaching the final of the 2022 Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year competition and winning Best New Comedian at the 2021 Southend Comedy Festival. Raised by an American-Slovenian mother and absentee Austrian father, Philipp uses his unorthodox cultural background and family structure to pose as an external observer and cultivate an offbeat socio-political perspective. Philipp’s writing has been featured on the BBC and he has also supported Russell Kane on tour. Based in London, Philipp now performs across the UK and Europe. 

With up-and-coming comic Louise Bastock!
