Christopher Donovan and Laurie Brewster present a split hour of stand-up as they try to rebrand themselves as the bad boys of comedy. Christopher brings anecdotal comedy, rich in detail and delivered with panache that earned him second place in So You Think You're Funny? 2023. 'Has a flair with words' (Chortle.co.uk). Laurie brings a dry, surreal brand of humour that saw him make it to the final of So You Think You're Funny? 2024. 'Proper jokes, coloured by self-deprecation' (Chortle.co.uk).

About Christopher Donovan and Laurie Brewster

Why see this show?

Two up-and-coming voices sharing a bill, each with a distinct style — Christopher's detailed storytelling alongside Laurie's dry surrealism. A good chance to catch both before their paths diverge.
