Jazz and stand-up comedy have a long, intertwined relationship, dating back to when Lenny Bruce would play smokey clubs in New York opening for Miles Davis (not certain this happened, but it's a nice image.)
Well, thankfully the smoke is gone, as is some of the other nasty stuff that came with the 1950s. However, thankfully we still have bumpin' jazz clubs like our home Matt and Phred's in Manchester's infamous northern quarter, and we still have great young comedians coming up in the vibrant north-west scene. So we thought; why not bring them together?
Matt and Phred's, in association with Lay Down Comedy, present; Full Swing Comedy. The most hilarious way to spend your Sunday evening. Come and enjoy our happy hour with great deals on drinks and pizza from 6-7pm, then be entertained by the best up-and-coming local comedians alongside national headliners.
Our first show is a Best of Manchester line-up featuring;
Erika Ehler
Michael Mannion
Natalie Husdan
Karl Porter
Zach Slater
& more great new performers. Many of these will be headlining up the road at Frog & Bucket before too long!
The show will be hosted by international man of hilarity Alex Camp, who got his start hosting comedy in Tokyo (of all places) and has performed in over 10 countries across the known world (11 to be precise).
