ROLLING IN THE AISLES COMEDY CLUB

Three TOP comedians and an MC perform cutting edge stand up at Kettering Arts Centre’s monthly ROLLING IN THE AISLES!

At the age of 15, CHRISTIAN REILLY joined a band to get laid. The Salvation Army had different ideas…

As former integral part of the Perrier award-winning show Otis Lee Crenshaw and the Black Liars, with comic/songster Rich Hall, Christian’s career has taken him around the world three times. On his way, he received accolades at international festivals and numerous network TV credits in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.

Now a solo stand-up performer and playing all the major comedy venues in his own right, Christian uses his dynamic guitar and vocal skills to target histrionic rock bands, musical theatre and morose indie musicians. He recently wrote and performed for ‘That Was Then This Is Now’ (BBC Radio 2) as musical counterpart to Richard Herring and Emma Kennedy, as well as giving his improvisation skills an outing on Radio 2’s ‘Jammin’.

Christian’s comic songs, improvisations, sharp wit and youthful energy have delighted audiences wherever he performs. He was recently interviewed for the British Comedy Awards Magazine, and will be appearing in Edinburgh in 2006, performing in the ever-popular ‘AAA’ at the Pleasance Courtyard.

“The word ‘charisma’ is bandied around too often, but Christian does have it in spades” CHORTLE.CO.UK

“If you’re a fan of Bill Bailey or Rich Hall, you’re probably a Christian Reilly fan already” THE GUARDIAN

“Bill Bailey watch out, there’s a new kid on the block!” ONE4REVIEW.COM

Performing stand-up comedy since 2003, MATT GREEN has appeared at venues all across the UK and the world, including gigs in Australia, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Norway, Romania, Slovenia and Singapore!

He has also performed six solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and three shows at the Camden Fringe.

A high energy mix of observational and personal stories with a dash of audience interaction and an improvisational edge.

“His delivery is skilled and polished – he quickly builds a rapport with the audience and is a dab hand at pacing, at building a story layer by layer.” 
The Stage

“Excellent audience interaction and intelligent observations… An hour of classic stand-up expertly delivered”

The Scotsman

“Brilliantly assured and commanding stage presence…..a super impressive comedy brain”

PAUL T EYRES (MC) – Winner of Best New Act at the Comedy Cafe

”Cracking material!” – Matt Kirshen

”I wish I’d written that joke.” – Reg D. Hunter 

Paul T. Eyres was so bored of middle-class values that he converted to Buddhism, only to win the title of world’s rudest Buddhist. Despite his everyman appearance, Paul rallies against the stereotypes and assumptions that are ingrained into our culture. 

Having run a number of comedy nights himself, Paul is also a lively and engaging compere who is much in demand for his ability to get a room going.

With his relentless high energy humour and rapid fire delivery, Paul breaks down barriers in way which is often challenging and frequently shocking – inspiring his audiences to laugh, gasp, then laugh some more!
