After a standing-room only run at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Javier Jarquin brings award-winning show ‘Card Ninja’ to Leeds! The Card Ninja possesses extraordinary skills which are more than just sleight of hand; these ‘tricks’ are on another level, and unlike anything you’ve seen before. Watch as Javier uses ordinary playing cards as weapons, with unfathomable precision, speed and power, in a unique, hilarious performance that you’ll never forget. Following his journey from mild mannered card player to silent assassin, ‘Card Ninja’ is a one-man comedy show with upbeat humour, impressive stunts and smooth audience interaction for anyone who’s ever wanted to be a little bit Ninja…
As seen on ‘Mock the Week’, ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ and ‘The John Bishop Show’, Ellie warms up for the Edinburgh Festival with her brand new show all about that pesky bit of marriage known as monogamy. At least, that’s what it was about when she wrote this blurb. It could be 60 minutes on budgies by now.
It’s been a morbid year for “the country’s leading musical satirist” (The Times); he’s turned 46 – over the hill by anyone’s standards – his personal life is in turmoil, and his childhood heroes are dropping like flies. At times like these, a man feels the Reaper creeping up on him…
Ed Aczel “Britain’s greatest living anti-comedian” comes to Leeds as he tries once again to nail down the nature of existence.
As seen on ‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘Phoenix Nights’ and heard on radio’s ‘The News Quiz’ and ‘Fighting Talk’, he’s a little slimmer but still as “belly laugh funny” – Manchester Evening News, everyone’s favourite northern charmer is back and better than ever.
The BBC Radio 4 star shares his personal mix tape – the joy, the pain and the bizarre middle eight – in this brand new stand-up hour.
Lloyd brings a brand new hour of his hearty comedy mixing a delicious blend of jokes, stories, observations, ad-libs, one-liners, accents, theories, topical gags and self-deprecation.
