This Selfdrive Laughter Factory is seriously punching this March by getting co-founder of the groundbreaking ‘Axis of Evil’ tour. Ahmed Ahmed on the bill. Promoter Gail Clough says ‘this is a huge coup for the club. ‘Axis of Evil’ broke the comedy mold. It was the comedy link between East and West. They say that laughter is the shortest distance between two people and this show proved it, We can’t believe our luck having Ahmed Ahmed in our little club.
Next on the bill, four time ‘Scottish Comedy Award’ winner, Chris Forbes, who was also the star of Scottish Bafta winning comedy show ‘Scot Squad’
Described by The Herald as ‘Brilliantly observed…laugh-out-loud stuff…A natural comedian.’
Finally, Rick Kieswetter is a Japanese man, brought up in the states by a German and an Italian and is now living in England. It’s no surprise his humour is ethnically diverse. His act is a subtle, clever, subversion of all those stereotypes fused with some hilariously funny gags.
So, round up some people you like and maybe a few that you don’t. Let’s mix things up. Come and laugh with some delightful people at the very best in live stand-up comedy.
