Stand Up Comedy Night in Scott's

with Barry Dodds and Dave Twentyman

Wednesday 27 February 2008
9pm, Doors open at 8pm
Euros 10,-, no presale

(Falsely accused to be from Liverpool, please note that Barry is in fact from Newcastle but lives in Manchester, and Dave is from St. Helens (at least this is near Liverpool!!!) and still lives there. The only excuse for this blonde moment is that I was still taken in by the Greater region euphoria of 2007. Liverpool and the Greater Northwest sounds nicer anyway.....)

Currently riding high on the UK comedy scene, Dave Twentyman is one of the most affable and naturally gifted comedians you'll see this year. Dave's strengths are his improvisation and interaction delivered with genuine warmth & charm, all the ingredients needed for a natural compere. Enjoyed by audiences young and old, he is one of the best things to come out of St.Helens from a long list that already includes Rugby League, Johnny Vegas, Glass, The Transport Museum & Margaret off the Weakest Link.

Barry on Luxembourg: "I'm really looking forward to returning to Luxembourg. My first time there two years ago was one of the highlights of my life so far. I had never even been on a plane before that gig. The people in Luxembourg are great, the promoters of the gig are fantastic and Scotts Pub is such a great venue for comedy. It really is my pleasure to return and play there."
