BIG BEN AND LIL' JIM

Therapy Room Comedy Club
Supported by Toni & Guy Tunbridge Wells & Moog Royale

Thursday 30th July 2009 sees the return of the Therapy Room Comedy Club Tunbridge Wells. Resident Compere Stephen Upsall introduces Ben Norris and newcomer Jim Smallman.

BEN NORRIS

Ben Norris
From his humble comedy beginnings as the promoter and compere of a monthly comedy club in Aldershot circa 1993, Ben Norris has become a regular headliner on the UK comedy circuit and has performed around the world in Prague, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Singapore, Manilla, Bangcock, Tokyo and the Isle of Wight.

As well as regular appearances at music festivals like Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Ben has performed stand up on various TV shows including The Stand Up Show (BBC) Gas (CH4) The Comedy Store (Paramount & CH5) “The World Stands up” (Paramount)

Surely it’s only a matter of time before Ben is as popular and famous as his cousin actor Martin Freeman (Tim in ‘The Office’) …surely!


"...an acerbic attitude, a well-stocked arsenal of sharp lines and the wherewithal to work any crowd make Norris one of the more engaging and enjoyable comics on the circuit"
Chortle UK Comedy Guide

"...one of the comedy circuits best improvisers"
Daily Mirror

"Strolls through his material with the laid back charm of a Jazz saxophonist"
The Stage

JIM SMALLMAN

Jim Smallman

Jim Smallman has been resolving his own personal issues through the medium of comedy since 2005, bringing his own brand of oddball observations and paranoid illness to stages all over the UK. After stumbling into a comedy workshop in a vain bid to conquer his nerves he somehow found himself onstage several times a week with a microphone in his hand and people listening to his general weirdness. Often, they laughed.
"... Jim Smallman had an impressive stage presence for one so new, holding his own amongst pros... he has great potential."
- Chortle UK Comedy Guide


"Anarchic and matey in equal measures, Smallman boasts a masterful rapport with the audience and clearly takes much delight in pushing the comedy boundaries... his manic energy was easily picked up by the punters"
Coventry Evening Telegraph
