Ocean City Comedy performing inaugural show at Illuminate
15th November 2021
This year the much loved Illuminate Festival sees its first ever comedy night! It's the inaugural show from new Plymouth promoters Ocean City Comedy and is happening on the 23 November.
The night will be a celebration of Plymouth’s comedy scene with a bill of Janner based comics! Headlining the event will be born and bred comedian Suzy Bennet.
Suzy Bennet: A born and bred Plymouthian! Former Butlins Redcoat and proud Devonian Suzy ‘accidentally’ won an award on her 6th gig and has kept the laughs, and her accent, going strong ever since, performing around the UK as well as overseas. She is the voice of the ‘Plymouth Trails’ Tour app and was recently named as one of the ‘50 Coolest people from Plymouth’ by the Evening Herald (It was in no particular order so she assumes she came third after Dawn French and Wayne Sleep).
Also on the bill is:
David Arnold: A Welsh man by birth but Plymouth based for 10 years (married a Janner), David is a regular on the comedy circuit, mixing mainstream and alternative material with aplomb! A warm and engaging presence, David has recently won through to the finals of British Comedian of the year! An absolute treat of a man. www.welshdavecomedy.com
Frankie Doré: 10 year + Plymouthian Frankie has become a regular on the South West comedy circuit over the last few years. His tales of life as a (late) 30 something male have entertained at pubs, clubs, and festivals across the South of England. A disarming and sharp witted fella indeed!
Willtordian Ballorian Edwardian: The baby of the bunch moved to Plymouth 4 years ago and performed his first ever stand up set in the city. A man with a penchant for owls and a celebration of the absurd silliness of life! Expect chaos, music, prizes and owls....
Another act is due to be announced very soon.
Tickets are just £8.00 and available to buy now from the Real Ideas website.
