Epic Comedy Club returns May 3rd with headliner Simon Brodkin

Most known for his various comedy characters including Lee Nelson, Simon is now performing as himself. Simon is currently on a solo world tour which already included TWO SOLD-OUT shows at the Norwich Playhouse. Simon will be taking a night out of his tour to perform at Epic Comedy Club making this an exclusive comedy event.

Star of Britain’s Greatest Hoaxer (Channel 4) Simon hit global headlines multiple times for his high-profile stunts, including handing Theresa May a P45 during her speech at the Conservative Party Conference, showering disgraced FIFA president Sepp Blatter with bank notes, and surrounding Donald Trump at the opening of his golf courses with 60 swastika-emblazoned golf balls.

Simon’s most famous character is “comedy legend” (The Sun) Lee Nelson, writing and staring in two series of BBC Three’s ratings smash Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show and the sketch series Lee Nelson’s Well Funny People, which introduced the nation to a plethora of brilliant characters.

Simon’s latest show Screwed Up was performed to sold-out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer and Dominic Maxwell (The Times) said  “no show has made (him) laugh more than this one…”.

Tom Ward

Hello, Tom here. Now, let’s be very clear about this – comedy is my one true love. I leave my phone on at night in case she calls, and I always take her back…even though my friends warn me against her.

I recently did Live at The Apollo, which was probably the greatest moment of my life. I may never be the same again. In fact I’ve already started being more rude with the staff at restaurants and bars and it feels really terrific.
