Following an extremely successful career, including a sold out 5 night run at London’s Southbank Centre<\/em> and television shows such as Modern Life Is Goodish <\/em>(Dave TV),\u252c\u00e1Are You Dave Gorman?<\/em>\u252c\u00e1and\u252c\u00e1Googlewhack Adventure<\/em>;<\/em> <\/em>Dave Gorman returns to his roots and is going to perform his live show at St David’s Hall on Saturday 25th<\/sup> October. This new show promises to combine stand-up, story telling and a powerpoint as <\/em>Dave Gorman Gets Straight To The Point<\/em>. Sounds intriguing and promises laugh out loud funny, this is something different from the traditional stand-up show.<\/em><\/p>\n

Comedy at the College<\/i> is the monthly student comedy night run at the Wales Welsh College of Music and Drama. It is run in association with their student union and The Comedy Network who have nurtured the careers of Russell Howard, Noel Fielding, Bill Bailey and Ross Noble. It features a mix of famous comedians and open mic slots where budding comedians can show off their skills. Furthermore, the central \u252c\u00e1location and impressive building create a great atmosphere to laugh the night away.<\/p>\n

Another great venue is Buffalo, whose comedy club, which only started last year, has expanded to attract some great comics. This month they are welcoming MichaelLegge, whose Northern-Irish stand-up comedy has had people laughing for years. As well as many successful tours, he has also written for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and appeared on shows such as, 8 out of 10 cats<\/i> and Would I lie to you? <\/i>He is now set to perform at the cosy Buffalo bar on the 2nd<\/sup> November, which is sure to be a great night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
