| Off The Tracks Festival - May 2009 |
|
We are pleased to announce a new partnership with the Off The Tracks Festival in Donington, Nottinghamshire. The festival runs bi-yearly and the next event will be occurring from the 22nd to the 24th of May. The comedy will be taking place from 8pm on the Friday night and we have an exciting line-up planned.  Danny DeeganHeadlining this event is the storytelling genius of Danny Deegan. Danny has delighted audiences across the country with his tales of cheeky dares and pranks. "Charming, witty and most importantly funny" - Metro "Oozes Confidence and Charisma" - Manchester Online "Can Command any Audience" - Chortle "Full of confidence and brimming with ideas" - Durham21.co.uk http://www.comedycv.co.uk/dannydeegan/index.htm  Pat GallagherSupporting him is Pat Gallagher, a Birmingham born comic who now lives in the Forest of Dean. Pat has gigged all over the world claiming to have played in more toilets than George Michael. He has also headlined in Plymouth and regional South West gigs, as well as numerous regional South West festivals, including playing as support for Wil Hodgson at the ancient order of druids largest gathering in Wales.  Owen NiblockAlso supporting is self-confessed geek, Owen Niblock. He’s a bit of an odd one, with songs about romantic encounters on buses, novel kids’ book designs and other surreal and strange material. Owen’s comedy is a refreshing change from the current trend for politically incorrect humour and he makes a valuable addition to any comedy billing.  Kate Smurthwaite Compere for the evening is the wonderful Kate Smurthwaite. Kate started performing as a comic in early 2004. She was so good at it that she quit her day-job in finance and turned professional in June 2005. She’s performed at over 1000 shows at venues across the UK and overseas and has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows. “This is high quality stand-up, not to be missed.” - Three Weeks Kumquat Comedy In partnership with Off The Tracks Festival For more information about Off The Tracks Festival visit www.offthetracks.co.uk.
