WE PITY THE (APRIL) FOOL!

Let's face it... April Fool's Day is a load of old pony. It's supposed to be funny, but it doesn't even last a whole day, what's that all about?. In fact, we reckon you should cross April Fool's Day out of your diary and replace it with APRIL 30TH, because that's when the real comedy is happening... at least in Tunbridge Wells.

That's right folks, HYPE ENTERTAINMENT have compiled a mighty fine duo of stand-up comedians for the end of April. After long negotiations involving a whole load of comedic shenanigans, Paul F Taylor and Trevor Lock will be rocking the mic at the Therapy Room Comedy Club. So what are you waiting for? Get involved, sharpish...


PAUL F TAYLOR

Paul F Taylor

Ever wondered why Pandas have low sex drives? No? Well, Paul F Taylor has, and he's got the answer to many of life's most baffling questions. A true individual with an awesomely surreal style, Paul is one of Britain's most in-demand performers. With his trademark fluorescent headbands, Paul has left audiences in stitches across the land (despite starting in 2005, he's already played at festivals such as Big Value, King Gong and Guildfest). It's really hard to put into words how good this bloke is, so buy a ticket and have a butchers at his brilliant website: www.paulftaylor.me.uk. Just don't ask us what the 'F' stands for...

TREVOR LOCK

Trevor Lock

Having starred in Channel 4's Bafta nominated Star Stories, BBC3's Brain Candy and written numerous material for Radio 4, Trevor Lock boasts one hell of a stellar comedy CV. His stand-up résumé though, is something else. A founding member and co-host of London's comedy cabaret, Kool Eddy's, Lock has made various appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, and his live show, ‘Trevor Lock’s Philosophy Society' in London's Leicester Square, is always a sell-out. And did we mention that he's supported some blokes called Stewart Lee and Russell Brand? Bringing with him wordplay, double entendres and corking one liners in equal measure, Trevor Lock's style is unique, and we're over the moon to have him at the Therapy Room Comedy Club.

"Strangely charming and irresistible. Utterly improbable, absolutely entertaining."
- The Independent

"Fantastic. Pure comic Genius." - Metro

"Trevor Lock with his own brand of self-indulgent humour makes you laugh, although the reason usually escapes you." **** The Scotsman

"Trevor Lock is superb!" - The Stage

Following a hugely successful night at the end of February in aid of Comic Relief, HYPE ENTERTAINMENT are back on March 26th, bringing yet another barnstorming lineup of stand-up comedy geniuses to the Therapy Room Comedy Club. Injecting laughter and much-needed humour into the lives of Tunbridge Wellians, Therapy Room Comedy Club nights offer top notch entertainment that won't break the bank.

With the sensational Stephen Grant, Yank-born Erich McElroy and resident compere Stephen Upsall all taking to the stage, March 26th will be be the best night HYPE ENTERTAINMENT have put on, since, well, ever. For a mere £8, can you really afford to miss out? Nah...

STEPHEN UPSALL

Stephen Upsall

Resident compere, crowd pleaser, the Therapy Room Comedy Club favourite and all-round good nut Stephen Upsall is back doing what he does best on March 26th... and that's cracking people up. Born and bred in Tunbridge Wells, no one knows good 'ol Tunbridge Wells better than Upsall (apart from local historians, but he'd give 'em a run for their money), and his unique and downright hilarious views of life in TW always leave the crowd in stitches. Worth the admission price alone...

ERICH McELROY

Erich McElroy

Hailing from Seattle, Washington, Erich has been bringing laughs-a-plenty to British audiences since 2002. Stateside, McElroy was a regular with the rather splendid sketch group, Up In Your Grill, and has plied his trade in Blighty as a regular on the London circuit, performing at venues such as The Comedy Store, The Chuckle Club and The Bearcat. One half of the stand-up duo responsible for the critically acclaimed 'Brokeback Britain', Erich's style is a wonderfully wry, no-holds-barred take on British life. That's why we love him, and we know you will, too.

“****A very entertaining act”- Broadway Baby

“Hilariously insightful” - The List

“Great gags” - The Stage

STEPHEN GRANT

Stephen Grant

Described by Harry Enfield as having 'brilliant material', Stephen's observational comedy and razor sharp improvisational skills have seen his career grow faster than Rik Waller's waistline. Winner of the "Best Compere Award' at the 2008 Chortle Awards, Grant's on-stage enthusiasm and energy have rightfully earned him a reputation as one of Britain's finest talents. At home wherever he plays, Grant really is the cream of the crop when it comes to British comedy, so do yourself a favour by coming along to see him in action.

"Always funny / Super-energetic style" - Time Out

"If laughter induces weight loss, than a night with Stephen Grant will leave you slender, svelte and stick-like" - Argus
