Brian Gittins: Don’t Feed the Monkey Man

Date: Tuesday, Oct 10 2017
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: The Wardrobe Theatre
Price: £12
Artists
David Earl

More top-notch comedy at the Wardrobe from Bristol’s Chuckle Busters.

David Earl’s alter ego Brian Gittins is an utter prat and according to the Sussex Argus, ‘The World’s Worst Comedian’. However, Brian’s not having any of it and he’s back with a live show with the might of powerhouse sponsor Rampoo (Shampoo for rams) behind him.

“It promises dancing, singing and Knock Knock jokes about an elderly lady called Joan McEnroe (sounds like John McEnroe). This year Brian will be giving back in the final section of the show exclusively for frustrated audience members called ‘Heckle Gittins’.

“This is a rare chance to catch one of the country’s leading alternative comics outside of London. A true a virtuoso in the field of ‘Wincemaking’ and fully certified berk of a man, this is a comedy joyride with all the bells, whistles and monkey suits that go with it.

“So, if you like watching a 42-year-old man prancing around like a moron, come and see the newly invigorated Brian before he’s bedridden with performance anxiety.

David Earl is star of Derek (Channel 4), Gittins (Channel 4), Extras (BBC), star and co-writer of Rovers (Sky 1). Chortle Award Character Act nominee 2013 / 2014

“One of the best comedy characters of the decade.”
Ricky Gervais
