More stand-up from some new and not-so-new faces on the comedy club circuit.
Endlessly charming headliner Steve Shanyaski’s inherent warmth and cheeky, roguish twinkle shine through his material, elevating him to quite another level as a performer. Spot-on observations turns domestic drudgery into frenetic fun.
Craig Deeley is a Birmingham-based stand-up who has crafted his art form over the last twelve years. Craig's repertoire is one of anecdotal observational comedy, combining humble self-mockery and tapping into the ridiculousness of modern life and everyday occurrences that we all recognise.
His routine covers a range of topics, including growing up, coming out, faith-healers, and barmy relatives.
“Craig Deeley’s star is in its ascendancy with his assured delivery, broad appeal and original funny viewpoint on life.”
