Gay Comedy Night at Y Theatre
The Y’s 2012 Leicester Comedy Festival kicks off in fine style with its annual Gay Comedy night!
Hosting the event is the ever sparkling Jonathan Mayor (left). A star of the Manchester alternative performance scene, Jonathan is an incredible and articulate performer, who is sure to bring more than his fair share of razzle dazzle to the opening night of the Comedy Festival!
“Imagine a Christmas tree has just exploded over the campest Bollywood star you know.” – John Locke (Manchester Comedy Store)
Joining Jonathan is the fabulous, award winning comedy duo, Topping & Butch. Cheekily camp Topping and Butch have “such innate warmth and charm that they could be Morecambe and Wise on Poppers…” Steve Bennett, Live Review.
Followed by the multi-talented Rosie Wilby, “a funny, bright and engaging performer” Broadway Baby (4 stars) and the stunning Suzi Ruffell (right).
‘Suzi Ruffell owns the stage so convincingly that she could take out a mortgage on it’ Chortle
Finally heading up the night is the delicious Tom Allen (left), who comes fresh from his own show at the Edinburgh Fringe! Tom Allen’s Afternoon Tea is a chat show interviewing the likes of Margaret Cho, Jack Whitehall, Ed Byrne and on its debut in London, Mark Gatiss and Matt Smith!
‘He’s a wonderfully laconic anecdotalist, and a rare talent. I urge – nay, demand – that you see him perform.’ Three Week
Prepare to be entertained by a host of top comedians at the start of what promises to be over two weeks of quality humour at The Y!
