A right royal variety show line-up in Bath's premier venue to celebrate Bath Comedy Festival in style!
Starring:
RHYS JAMES
Rhys's sardonic wit combined with his playful style have made him a firm favourite on the British comedy scene. He's a "master of the lightning-paced, gag-dense, precision-delivered set" (The Guardian), as showcased in his six critically acclaimed sell-out solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
One of the final Mock The Week regulars and star of Live At The Apollo, Rhys's last solo tour sold out over 70 dates nationwide in the UK. He released a third, ARIA nominated, Radio 4 series, starred in 'The Great American Joke Off' for US network The CW, and been hurled through the air on a bungee cord by Micah Richards on 'A League Of Their Own'. His Instagram reels alone have generated over 80 million views to date. Rhys has also appeared on Richard Osman's House Of Games (dressing gown, luggage, decanter), Celebrity Mastermind (The US Office, 3rd place) and Pointless Celebrities (wore a tuxedo, out in round 2).
"Funny and engaging...a delightful thing to see" ★★★★ Broadway World
TERRY ALDERTON
Terry Alderton has always been something special. With a set full of extraordinary caricatures - where he famously is interrupted, and with his back turned, battles with his two inner voices.
With some stunningly acute impressions, observations and a hyperactive delivery, Terry is loved by comics and fans alike.
"Unfollowable" - Jack Whitehall
"He's a very funny man with a fantastic comedy mind, but someone who really ought to seek some sort of professional help" - Eddy Izzard
"An unusual mix of traditional club comic and experimentalist, Alderton at his best is unstable and deliciously unexpected" - Guardian
