Ordinary Lads
BACK2BACK Productions Ltd
Presents ORDINARY LADS, Written by Paul Ferguson
Four ordinary lads, leading ordinary lives, are about to have an extraordinary day.
“Somebody’s at the door” bringing disaster, sticky situations and a free car! Bones wants his drug dealer, Fergie wants someone to laugh at his jokes, Sparky wants some good luck and Dibbs…well he’s just Dibbs.
Directed by - Jake Hendriks Designer - Olivia Altaras Lighting Designer - Gary Bowman Sound Designer - David Gregory
"Three friends (Bones, Sparky and Fergie) wait for their dealer to arrive, like tramps awaiting a Reebok-clad Godot... The Ordinary Lads makes for a laid-back and enjoyable night, despite its outward wide-boy braggadocio. Much like Bones’ reefer paraphernalia, the play is more complex than it first seems. There's a subtle social commentary that draws you into the fray, and gives some much needed heart to some much-maligned characters." Spoonfed
"This is quality, accessible fringe that you could invite the lads down the pub to without fear of later ostracization. This warm and funny show whetted my appetite for more from this talented playwright; the bubble is far from bursting." Extra Extra
"It was like watching a newly born Only Fools and Horses, the writing was sharp, the acting sensational and the feel good factor tremendous." Remotegoat

Brian Gittins: Roadside Cafe Owner
Brian Gittins performed his first ever show at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, and had to cancel the second half of the run due to exhaustion. But he did meet Peter Duncan. Now he’s better again, he’s booked himself into London's glittering The London Palladium. However, due to an administrative error, he is instead playing The Etcetera in Camden for “ONE NIGHT ONLY”! (plus two other nights).
"One of the best comedy characters of the decade." Ricky Gervais

Hello there!
Fresh from a sold-out night at the Etcetera performing new material alongside Idiots of Ants, join Max (taller, curlier) and Iván (shorter, 'cuddlier') for an hour of joy-soaked trans-genre sketch wizardry. Delightful, insightful, a little bit spiteful. It would be wrong to miss it.

The Leeds Tealights - Live Sketch Comedy
Returning to the London Fringe for the first time this year, The Leeds Tealights are ready to prove why they represent a refreshing contrast to the enforced jollity of your regular comedy revue show.
With a mixture of their trademark black comedy, and silly whimsy, The Tealights are set to present a few favourite sketches from Edinburgh, combined with a selection of brand new material, in a show proudly defined by its comic diversity.

Department of Smelling Pistakes
Mining its trademark vein of absurdist humour, Publick Transport presents this new comedy set in a Russian governmental office where two civil servants jostle for power, one a puffed up bureaucrat in search of a job description, the other an unidentified inspector, the purpose of whose visit remains frighteningly vague. Reluctant to commit to specific thought for fear of showing ignorance of the party line - which changes hourly - they make idle conversation out of which is extrapolated the deepest meaning, while their attempts at political correctness only result in grammatical incorrectness.
“A hilarious caricature of the stifling formalities and hierarchies of office life, channelling Reggie Perrin, Kafka, Beckett and the Goons – and two splendid comic performances from Angus Barr and Toby W. Davies.” Steve Wright, Venue Magazine

Gerry Howell: The Fantastic Reality of Frederick Goodge
The much anticipated brand new one man show from award winning stand up comedian and BBC College of Comedy writer Gerry Howell. A darkly comic play about a man who gets embroiled in the imaginary world of the fiction he creates. An existential comedy of inertia, delusion and despair!
"Surreal rambling brilliance... A one man Mighty Boosh" - Time Out.
"The fast-rising free-associator Gerry Howell, often likened to a youngEddie Izzard... possesses a wonderfully befuddled stream of consciousness – The Guardian

Oliver Lansley's Immaculate was first seen at the Edinburgh Festival in 2005, where critics called it 'genuinely laugh a minute' and said 'In a Fringe filled with comedies, this has to be one of the funniest.' This is the first production of the play since a UK tour in 2006.
