Christof EpaminondasSemi-professional company

60 minutesJust The Spare Room
Christof's overly supportive Greek-Cypriot family laughed at one of his jokes once and he's taken it too far. Through talent alone he has done well at stand-up competitions (or the fact that 50% of the audience were blood relatives). Third out of 300: Get-Up Stand-Up New Act competition. Finalist: Rising Star New Act competition. Semi-finalist: Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year and Max Turner Prize. Name butchered on: BBC Radio 4. Christof plans to make some hilarious friend(s) who will also perform some comedy. 'Brilliant... had the room erupting with laughter' (NorthWestEnd.co.uk).

About Christof Epaminondas

Christof Epaminondas brings his overly supportive Greek-Cypriot family to the Edinburgh Fringe in this stand-up show at Just The Spare Room. His family laughed at one of his jokes once and, as the description puts it, he's taken it too far. Christof has placed in the Get-Up Stand-Up New Act competition, reached the final of the Rising Star New Act competition, and was a semi-finalist in both the Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year and the Max Turner Prize. His name has also been mangled on BBC Radio 4. He plans to be joined by friends who will also perform comedy.

Why see this show?

An endearing show built on the peculiar comedy of having too much family encouragement — Christof's self-deprecating take on competition stand-up and Greek-Cypriot family dynamics makes for a warm, funny evening at Just The Spare Room.
