SILKY - 8.00pm
Criminally Underrated.
One the most popular and friendly comics currently working on the comedy circuit brings his one man show to the festival.
'The man just has an overwhelming nose for mischief and trouble.... the entire show went hilariously off kilter as Silky just went where the evening took him. It was fascinating to see how he willingly, joyously, threw himself into the bear pit and revelled in living on his wits for the entire hour. He's not pushy or hardfaced at all - just very mischievous. Watching him deal with it all – and stay afloat throughout, although there were some scary moments - was stand up in its purest, rawest form and it was amazing to watch. One of the bravest and most unusual sets of the festival.'
Daily Post, Liverpool.
'Always brilliant'
Metro
'Considered and clever: excellent timing and dry delivery revealed a comic at the top of his game.'
352 Magazine (Luxembourg)
'Brilliant musical act'
The List (Scotland)
'One of the comedy circuit's most popular headliners.. On the cusp of Superstardom.'
Yorkshire Life
'Among the best of the circuit.. born funny.' City Life
'Equally at home as a compere or main act, Silky has consistently proved himself one of the best and most reliable performers around. Highly recommended.'

MICK SERGEANT - 9.30pm
"Ah Shit! It's Mick Sergeant"
Can a man re-invent his entire self?
Former shipyard worker Mick Sergeant hopes so.
In this show, Mick attempts to answer two of life’s most fundamental questions.
Two questions which he gets asked a lot: “Who are you?” and “What are you doing here?”
"Perfectly judged" Metro.
"Rich with subtle touches and more crucially great gags. Could well be the next Steve Coogan or Rob Brydon such is his brilliantly nuanced characterisation." Chortle.co.uk.
"The greatest single event since the invention of the English language" Mick Sergeant.
(Mick Sergeant is the spoof creation of comedian Lee Fenwick)
