BBC New Comedy Award winner Joe Kent-Walters has some phenomenal moments in his show. We're some distance from straightforward stand-up here: this show is weird in the most brilliant possible way.
Here he is! Yorkshire's biggest bastard. For 27 nights only! Join owner and MC of The Misty Moon (working men's club in Rotherham/portal to hell) for a slap-up feast of laughs, tricks and mucky bitter. Can Frankie save showbiz? Can he protect his club from demonic ruin?? Can you touch his special trowel??? (NO WAY!). 'Echoes of The League of Gentlemen and Reeves & Mortimer' (Scotsman). 'Once seen, never forgotten, physically commands the stage and beyond... barnstorming nonsense' (Chortle.co.uk). Winner of BBC New Comedy Award 2023 and Best Show Leicester Comedy Festival 2024.
