Oswestry Rugby Club - 20/04/24

Kung Fu Pug

This year's annual comedy bash at Oswestry Rugby Club has not one but TWO TV COMEDIANS!

Opening the night is Telford's own silver medal paralympian and BBC New Comedian nominee, Ricky Balshaw!
Ricky is already performing at all the top clubs across the UK, has appeared on BBC1 & BBC3 and has also been a pundit for Channel 4 for the Paralympics from London, Rio and Tokyo.

Our second TV act is the legendary Tony Burgess, who you may recognise from his role in the cult BBC3 comedy 'Ideal', his self penned BBC1 sitcom The Visit, or from his writing credits for many top comedians including Steve Coogan (Paul and Pauline Calf’s Cheese and Ham Sandwich), Johnny Vegas (the Sony award winning radio comedy Nightclass and Who’s Ready For Ice Cream) Lily Savage and John Bishop (John Bishop’s Britain). Tony even managed to get a writing credit on Wallace and Gromit’s The Curse of the Were Rabbit, so his kids now believe that he’s got a proper job.

“Deceptively intelligent and incredibly funny” - BBC

“…great, well crafted gags” - The Times

In the middle we have 2 great, new comedians in the form of Chris Yates (2023 Kung Fu Pug Comedy New Comedian of the Year) and the rising star that is Harry Jenkins.

Your MC for the evening is Oswestry's own Donald Mackerel.
