sparkle, then these tassels are well worth the hassle’

RUSSELL KANE: Smokescreens & Castles

In his new show, the triple Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and co host of ITV2’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here NOW! explores self, family, and the consequences of his Dad buying his own council house. Sociological silliness and high energy contortions guaranteed.

 
“Bold, defiant... shot through with vulnerability.” Sunday Times

 “Such a gifted, distinctive comic.” Chortle

 “More thought and intelligence behind his comedy than most people could ever get near” The Mirror

 “The kind of gags that make you snort beer out of your nose… An impressive punch line rate” Metro

Brendon Burns : Y’Know – Love ‘n’ God ‘n’ Metaphysics ‘n’ Shit

 

A comic love letter, and a preamble through the Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner’s brilliantly insane mind, this show has a giant twist in it’s tail…as always, nothing is as it seems…


Hilarious, heartbreaking…don’t miss it.

“Absolutely the smartest thing I have ever seen in the comedy section” Scotsman

“The most jaw-droppingly awkward, painful, yet ultimately rewarding piece of stand-up we've ever seen” TIME OUT

THE BOY WITH TAPE ON HIS FACE

The Boy With Tape On His Face is a pensive, curious soul approaching every object and audience member as a potential friend - or plaything.

Shoes sing, empty dresses dance and electrical tape blossoms into roses creating a world of possibilities where the only certainty is laughter.

Mime with noise, stand-up with no talking – drama with no acting. This show speaks for itself.

CRAIG CAMPBELL LIVE

How much could 'Ludo' the dog on my poster have in common with his namesake 'Ludwig van B'!? As much as my storytelling could compare with King Billy C's, however this reality didn’t prevent the Edinburgh Evening News from claiming that I spin a yarn like a younger version of the Monarch himself!

 
Choosing between talking down the compliment’s obvious hyperbole with humility as a gentleman would, or flogging it relentlessly as a desperate egotist with a black hole for a soul would, I've chosen the latter and much lower path. Come to my show, or I'll hurt the dog! 

Craig is currently on a 120 date sell-out nationwide tour with Frankie Boyle, he recently guest starred on BBC Three’s hit new show Russell Howard’s Good News and on Comedy Store for Comedy Central.
