Club Fandango presents; Comedy at Cosmic

Club Fandango presents COMEDY AT COSMIC! 🎭

Club Fandango held its first comedy night in October 1997 and was the first comedy club south of Exeter!

The first act ever to be booked at Club Fandangos was Geoff Whiting, who then booked every comedy night in the venue. Over the years Club Fandango hosted some incredible names in the comedy scene such as;

□ Jimmy Carr

□ Marcus Brigstocke

□ Russell, Howard

□ Nina Conti

□ Reginald D. Hunter to name, but a few

Geoff is the biggest Booker of live comedy in the country and he also books comedy clubs in Europe 🎭 so were feeling very blessed to go full circle with this and bring him to Cosmic Kitchen to book and sometimes perform to start the next chapter of comedy events. Tonights line up :

Closing act

NEIL McFARLANE

Neil started his comedy career in Scotland 16 years ago, where he remains a regular act at the highly-regarded Stand Comedy Clubs in Glasgow & Edinburgh.

He now performs in locations across the length and breadth of the British Isles, attracting widespread concern, and has also entertained international audiences in places as far-flung as Tenerife, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania, the Czech Republic, the two Channel Islands you can actually get to, Florida, California and Kent.

Neil reached the Scottish regional final of the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2001, so technically that means he's been on the telly (for the 7 people who had BBC CHOICE at the time). If you really want to stretch the point, he's also been on '15 to 1' twice, and has the dubious honour of being the only contestant in the show's history to have been told off by William G. Stewart for slouching.

In 2006 Neil came third in the Scottish Comedian of the Year competition and performed his first, sold-out, one-man show, 'Posh Glaswegian', at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, followed by his first full run in the Gilded Balloon at the Edinburgh Fringe; and his first solo show outside Scotland, at the Manchester Comedy Festival.

He moved to London to become a full-time comic in 2009, and March 2010 saw his fourth solo show at the Magners' Glasgow Comedy Festival, entitled 'Neil McFarlane is Still in Search of a USP'. In 2013 he performed 'Neil McFarlane's First Period' at the Bath Comedy Festival and the Brighton Fringe.

In 2012 Neil was a finalist in Jongleurs Comic Idol competition. He also wrote and performed his solo show "Sightseeing With A Hangover" at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2016

1st act

AIDAN MORRIS

Aidan Morris A Canadian expat, here to take down the patriarchy one dick joke at a time, all under the confusing visuals of a modern day pin-up doll. An experienced actor, dancer, singer before turning to comedy because all of that was going so well, she has a natural stage presence and charisma that is undeniable. Expect strong opinions, strange situations and the best hair in comedy (not that there was much competition.).

Semi finalist 2023 West End New Act of The Year.

5 stars from Broadway World and Everything Theatre for “All this must pass”, a one woman show at the Camden Fringe 2022.

CHESTER CONSTABLE

Chester Constable’s failed romances, uninformed film reviews and unwavering loyalty to the bullies that moulded him, makes for an enjoyable evening of comedy.

BEN TRELOAR

Having just won the Cornish Comedian of the Year 2023, Ben is a rising star of the Southwest stand-up scene. With audiences occasionally enjoying his deadpan musings on life, he’s quickly performing much further afield than his native Cornwall, recently becoming a finalist at Stand-up for Cider, one of the biggest competitions in the Southwest circuit. Join him on a sarcastic journey as he rambles about exciting topics such as supermarkets, urinals, and how to steal material from better comedians!
