A pair of half-hour illustrated comedy talks from John Lawrenson, comic actor and one half of musical double act Fred & Dickie.
DOUBLE ACTS
Sitcoms are full of dreamers assisted by their clueless sidekicks. The fools in these “double acts” are based on two classic comedy types. Illustrated with TV clips and archive photographs, the talk reveals how a double act works and examines their characters, techniques & skills, and humour & appeal.
SILLY SUSSEX
Sussex has a rich history of “spinning a whopper”, its many ingenious tales and urban legends exhibiting a humour that’s often irreverent, sometimes dark but always ridiculous. The talk explores this ancient storytelling tradition, visiting other countries where tales are created through bragging contests, performed in liars clubs and even deployed as weapons.

Welcome back to On The Edge Comedy! Headlining for us this time is musical comedian and stand up Jamie D’Souza.
Jamie started performing comedy in the summer of 2016, Jamie has quickly established himself as a rising star on the comedy circuit. He has reached the finals of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny? and The Musical Comedy Awards, as well as being shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award. Jamie was also the runner up at Hastings Fringe New Comedian Of The Year.
Jamie’s stand up has been described as a mix of short stories and one liners, delivered with an instant likability and an understated confidence. Covering a range of topics including veganism, his mixed race heritage and coming to terms with entering adulthood.
Coming from a musical background, he is adept at both straight stand up and musical comedy.
As always we have a cracking supporting line up too.
Acclaimed gilet-wearing stand-up, filmmaker, goalkeeper and viral Twitter star Stuart Laws is heading out on his first tour. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Recently, Stuart risked everything in a Vegas poker tournament and his life changed forever. In Stuart Laws Is All In, he asks life’s big questions: is he a winner or a loser? Can
he burn a candle at both ends? And has he been infected by the Willennium Bug?
Stuart has featured on Radio 4 , is regular tour support for James Acaster , produced Acaster’s four Netflix specials, and can be seen on stand-up streaming service NextUp
Comedy.
Following a hugely successful run the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, Stuart Laws Is All In heads to Brighton with a show about making difficult decisions, choosing different paths and
gettin’ jiggy wit’ it.
