Good Ship Comedy featuring Angela Barnes
South London Theatre welcomes: Good Ship Comedy Founded in Kilburn, migrated to Camden Town and now south of the river in West Norwood, Good Ship Comedy is your friendly neighbourhood comedy club. For the past fifteen years we have featured some of the finest comics from the UK and international festival circuit including Josh Widdicombe, Sara Pascoe, Sindhu Vee, Nish Kumar, Rich Hall, Katherine Ryan and many, many more. All presented by resident compere, Ben Van der Velde. The perfect comedy club host he is a master of audience interaction. The audience werent just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage. Huffington Post ANGELA BARNES Angela Barnes swapped a career in health and social care for stand up in 2010 and hasnt looked back. Within just a couple of years she had won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2011 and has since toured the UK and starred in BBC Twos iconic Mock the Week as a regular panelist, as well as Live at the Apollo, and Hypothetical on Dave. She is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4, having featured on The Now Show and The News Quiz including a stint as the host. Angela co-hosted the less-than-serious popular podcast We Are History with the author John OFarrell. Six series strong and with over a million downloads, the two history nerds discuss, explain, and laugh at interesting and quirky episodes from the olden days. Most importantly, Angela is a patron of the SLT and is finally returning to one of her very first comedy stomping grounds to headline Good Ship Comedy for the first time. Brilliantly funny . Sarah Millican She's just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic.
