About Showbiz Baby
A new comedy night at De Hems Dutch Cafe Bar in Central London, with newer and pro acts to help you fight your midweek blues.
Reviews
With the Edinburgh Festival lurking around the corner, like a dirty but troubled slasher from an 80s horror, it is time for me say, 'Everything is going to be alright' and lead a party of imbecilic youths to their demise.
It's fresh (not ready), it's funny (subjectively), it's FREE (it is free).

BLURB:
An artist draws the same image repeatedly with indomitable zeal. A convenience shopkeeper eschews convenience to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams. Richard Todd returns to Edinburgh with a new show. Fools? Maybe! Obsessed? Certainly! Pension Plans? Probably not. Let's go meet them!
In celebration of the human spirit, Richard Todd prods hope's perpetually moribund body with the indubitable stick of logic and asks: 'Why won't it die?'
HYPERBOLE:
'Painfully funny.' EDFEST MAG****
'Some comics have a gift of words that touches their work with wonder. Richard Todd is such a comic… A painfully funny show… like finding The Fall guesting on X-Factor.’ THE SCOTSMAN ****
'A talent entirely of his own.’ – FEST ****
‘Flashes of brilliance with complex, imaginative surrealism and an endearingly chaotic style’ – THE SKINNY
'… An inventive comic thinker, with surrealism that creates weird imagery with robust, if unlikely, internal logic. He delivers with the passion of an insane preacher, and there’s a keen off-the-wall wit throughout…’ CHORTLE
'… A smart surrealist…' THE INDEPENDENT
CHORTLE ONE TO WATCH 2018

URGENT! Guys we have a change of venue for next Wednesday's gig- the gig will now take place at the Kentish Town at the Rose and crown, 71-73 torriano avenue London sw5 2sg TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS! SHOWBIZ CANT BE STOPPED!
Idiots Todd & Patel give the public what they want - them in a basement room, talking to themselves and leaving everyone else alone to get on with life.
It is, however, free.
Sunil Patel - Juicer
... Sunil Patel's (Time Out's One to Watch, BBC New Comedy Awards finalist, Chortle Best Newcomer nominee) debut show rolls into town. Is he funny? ‘Beautifully funny’, says the Evening Standard.
Richard Todd
“How much happier the man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow.” so said Dr Frankenstein, to himself, in his head, after making a botch job of building a man. Richard concurs. A master of menial tasks, it is a tragedy that he ever meddled with ambition. But now it's alive and he must appease it. Fresh from the bath, flibbertigibbet Richard Todd blurts out an Edinburgh debut no greater than his nature allows.
"An inventive comic thinker" - Chortle 'A smart surrealist.’ Independent Amused Moose Laugh-Off winner

Alright guys, here's something lovely that's happening. We're very excited about our line-up and would love for you to all come along and laugh (remember laughing?). Or just listen to Richard Todd, who said:
On 6th July, SHOWBIZ BABY! has a bill chock full of headliners - theoretically at least, actually there is only one, for logistical reasons, Jarlath Regan; but any one of Dave Green, Tom Ward & Jordan Brookes could have done it - maybe not as successfully, but professiona...lly. These are comics considering taking the option of a 6th year extension on there 5 year plans - experienced. Come see their experiences live.
We also have the pleasure of hosting Nathan Roberts, Claire Lanahan and Heather Shaw!!
Do come guys! https://www.tickettext.co.uk/showbiz…/s howbiz-baby-06072016/

SHOWBIZ BABY is back on the 6th of July! We've got a wonderful line-up prepared for you. Come see the likes of:
JORDAN BROOKES! “Brookes has clearly spent time meticulously planning the theatrics, the jokes, the absurdity, and the outbursts to a beat and shows all the signs of a highly skilled comedy writer and performer.” - chaplinmoustachecomedy
... "the best joke of the night" - Loaded Magazine
CLAIRE LANAHAN! She escapes out of chains and stuff. Or will she? Oh! Intrigue.
HEATHER SHAW! Heather is awesome. We are delighted to have her, not just because she's funny, but because she slightly scares us as well. Which is good, if you like that sort of thing.
NATHAN ROBERTS! Nathan (D'Arcy) Roberts is the prettiest man in comedy. And if you think that takes away from his jokes, then just look at his face. Either way, you will be satisfied.
TOM WARD! "Equal parts hilarious and bizarre…One of the most impressive, distinctive newish acts around." Bruce Dessau – Evening Standard & Beyond The Joke
“Fine writing, evoking silly images and ideas, combines with a distinctive look to make him memorable.” Steve Bennett – Chortle
DAVE GREEN! “Fantastically original gags” Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke
“Could be a contender to follow in the footsteps of Milton Jones”. Steve Bennett, Chortle
And our headliner: JARLATH REGAN! “Always one of the fastest and funniest shows at the festival” (Jason Byrne) ***** “Hilarious” Independent
**** “Side-splitting stuff” Metro
“More laughs in the first 15 minutes than most comedians can muster in an hour” Herald
Hosted by our very own ROSS SMITH! (Winner of no things except the admiration of his friends)

'Wednesday 18th of March, that's an awful day, never liked it, it's boring' - we've all said it. But not this year. Why? Because of this: a gig with comedians so great that hyperbole bounces off them as if they were words that no one actually said.
What words? Mega-splendid! Tear inducing back ache! I laughed, I cried, I was incontinent! What aisle are the peas in?
And that's not even the start of it. Come see the fools:
... Brand Brady, Julian Deane, Matt Hutson, Richard Todd, Fergus Craig, Patrick Turpin & Daniel Audritt.
