Clwb Comedy @ Yr Hen Llyfrgell - January

We are back for 2024 and our first double headliner show of the new year kicks things off with a bang. 

Joining us this month are:

DAVID TSONOS

If you want serious comedy David Tsonos is not your man. His comedy stems from being the youngest of five boys, babysitting ...his nephews and his cat. Whether it’s a Bar gig, a Comedy Club or a Corporate function David makes them laugh until they can laugh no more. (Well maybe a little more.)  Starting off in Canada in 1999 and now making London UK his home he has performed in over 15 countries. He has appeared at numerous fringe festivals in the UK including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bath and Hastings. He will continue to make people laugh until Aliens with no sense of humour take over Earth.

“Very confident, knows his material totally and had the crowd roaring. Good face and voice for comedy, great timing”. The Stand Comedy Club

He  has done overseas gigs in Romania, Turkey, Ireland, Austria, Hungary, Singapore, China, Malta, The Netherlands, U.S., Canada, Spain, Sweden, Australia, Denmark, Czech Republic, Germany, Guernsey, Norway, Finland, Luxemburg and Belgium.

FREDDIE FARRELL

Freddie Farrell started his stand-up career in late 2010.

Birmingham based Freddie has a short storytelling style that brings you in to hang of his every word, he has a unique take on everyday life but with an added twist.

Within the first year of comedy he had shared bills with the likes of Sarah Millican, Chris Ramsey, Tom Stade & Phil Nichol to name but a few.

Freddie performs at such iconic venues such as the Glee Club, The Stand, Jongleurs, Highlight, Comedy Store.

He even had a 4 star review from Three Weeks for his first full run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

As you can see Freddie has gigged all over the UK in rooms ranging from just the toilet attendant right up to 500 people waiting to laugh, fortunately they usually do.

Freddie also has a very popular Podcast called ‘Going In Blind’. Subscribe & check it out on iTunes!
