GARY COLMAN- CLASS
A brand new show from that Geordie chancer and “best deadpan act since Jack Dee” (GQ). Working class boy meets upper class girl...
Not so much a love story as an act of class war. A love story. “This show will have you in hysterics” Three Weeks, “A seasoned gag-smith with
a sharp eye for the absurdities of family life” London Evening Standard, “Laugh out loud... not much in this hour misses the mark” The Scotsman

GARY DELANEY: THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT GARY
...and that something is he likes to write jokes. An awful lot of them. Also he appears to have some jizz in his hair. There’s that as well.
Gary thinks a good joke should be like a drunk Glaswegian, short & punchy. His new tour show is not only great for people who like lots
of jokes but also fun for people who enjoy getting offended by jokes too. Mock The Week Regular Double Sony Award Winner Chortle
