Lesbilicious Comedy presents…
Lesbilicious Comedy: Monday 26th March 2012
Lesbilicious Comedy is back in March 2012! As usual it’s a night of comedy for lesbian / bisexual women and their friends, but the big change this time is the venue - we’re now going to be in The Stand, Newcastle’s newest and best purpose-built comedy venue - and the day - it’s on a Monday night, so you’ll have something to look forward to at the start of the week!
Performing on Monday 26 March 2012 will be…
Gemma Hutton (compere)
Gemma kicked-off her comedy career on BBC Northern Ireland’s ‘Find Me The Funny’ and has since been short-listed for the UK’s Funniest New Female Stand-Up. She’s witty, quick on her feet and disarmingly charming, and, in her own words, “fears nothing but weight watchers”.
“She really has hit us with a bang. Hilarious.” - Madcap Comedy
“A real firework of a performer” - San Francisco Comedy Club
Lara A King
In 2011 Lara made it to the finals of Loaded magazine’s LAFTAs and theAmusedMooseLaughOff. She also won the 2011 Funny Women Awards, making her officially the funniest woman in the world. Probably.
“Utterly brilliant. And very very funny.” - Funny Women
“Strong and impressive” - Chortle
Susan Calman (headliner)
Susan, variously described as “impish” “feisty” and “charmingly pint-sized”, Susan is headlining in March with her brilliantly confessional tales of Glaswegian culture and lesbian fashion.
Susan’s been busy in the three years since she last performed at Lesbilicious, appearing on BBC1’s Have I Got News For You, ITV’s Comedy Rocks, BBC Radio 4’s News Quiz and The Now Show.
“Calman is one of the best female comics to ever come out of the land of bagpipes and haggis. She’ll make you chuckle your pants off” - Time Out
“Sharp, warm and massively entertaining, Calman’s show is not one to miss if you take your pleasures seriously” - Chortle
