Funhouse Comedy Club launches the new season with another great line-up of comedians, at the Grainstore Brewery, Oakham on Thursday 25 January 2024.

Topping the bill is Christian Reilly who, at the age of 15, joined a band "to get laid", however the Salvation Army had different ideas! He became an integral part of the Perrier award-winning show Otis Lee Crenshaw and the Black Liars, with comic/songster Rich Hall and travelled the world three times.

Now as a solo performer he both captivates and amuses his audiences with his comic songs and witty punch-lines.

Opening the night will be Perrier Award Winner, author, broadcaster and comedian Dominic Holland, father of Spiderman actor Tom Holland. He has made numerous appearances on radio and TV including 'Have I Got News For You', 'The Clive James Show', 'The Royal Variety Show' and 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks'.

His talent for spotting people's eccentricities and mixing in the fine-points make his observations quite unique and his appealing stage persona has the audience immediately entranced.

Completing the line-up is Romanian professional stand-up comedian Radu Isac. Since moving to the UK he has switched to performing in English and has done so seamlessly, winning various comedy competitions, including Funhouse's own "Should I stay or Should I Go?" Champions' title.

Compere for the night will be the calm and carefree, writer and stand-up Tony Cowards. His smart and hilariously stupid jokes, always leaves people rolling in the aisles!

Tickets cost £13 in advance and doors to the event open at 6:15pm, with last orders for food at 7.15pm and the show kicking off at 8pm.
