Newbury Comedy Festival New Act finalist 2010 and Winner Bath Comedy Festival New Act competition 2010.

".....engaging energy" Chortle

"A very enjoyable, laugh a minute rollercoaster ride." The list

He'll be supported by Dan Nicholas, Jane Huxley, Jim Carroll & one of our favorite acts on the circuit, Brendan Higgins (you've gotta see this guy, hilarious)

At the request of some of you..

ANDY WHITE

Yes.. Andy is back at ManillaRoad for the first time since July '12.. He's a brilliant act, gigged with him loads.. His crazy outlook, daft views & anecdotes are gonna get that room rocking again..

Here's what others had to say -

Andy White is a Brummie true comedian who escaped from a call centre to become a stand up comic. He combines silly voices and a mad afro to devestating comic effect. Andy's humour embraces silly voices, funny faces, observational humour, topical humour and his mixed race background. He can do comedy material that's clever, cheeky, sick or just silly. His performance can shift from deadpan to loud and physical.

"Headline comedian Andy White was hilarious" - Official Comedy, Grimsby

"Oozes talent" - What's On Magazine 

"The laughs turned to applause many times for Andy" - Suzanne Worthington, BBC Cumbria

"Undeniably entertaining" - Chortle.co.uk

As usual, Doors open 8pm & there's support from four emerging acts..
See you's on Thursday..

Greetings for October!!!!

Firstly..

How good was Nick Doody last month eh? Thankyou to everyone who came, amazing that we were busier than the Glee Club.. We're proud..

Now.. For OCTOBER 10th.. ManillaRoad are thrilled to bring you..

IAN COGNITO

'Cogs' is one of the best comics on the national circuit, a veteran who clearly knows what he’s doing as he spits his darkly humorous vitriol over an unsuspecting crowd. Outspoken, opinionated, and totally clued up, this man’s take on the world will have you convinced and convulsed (with laughter).

"Cognito’s indignant polemic is a bracing antidote to more amiable routines. When a comedian can transform rage into humour without diluting their passion, the result is always riveting. Share his inspired madness." - William Cook, The Guardian

"Cognito puts them all in the shade. If you want to know what’s wrong with New Britain, Ian Cognito’s going to tell you. And if you don’t, you’d better keep your mouth shut. Just stunning." - Phil Daoust, The Guardian

"Ian Cognito is up there with the greats. He rants - but not without thought." - Evening Standard

Full support from Ben Briggs, Ben Slaughter, Andrew McBurney & Broady..

As usual, FREE entry.. Doors open 8pm..

Look forward to seeing you's..

MR..x

ps - recommend getting in early for a seat, it's going to be busy..

Headliner - ANDY ROBINSON

We love Andy, he's been here before to try out stuff before touring but he's back to rock the place as headliner..
Here's what a few had to say -

Andy has done over 2000 gigs all over the place, including yer Glee Clubs, Comedy Stores, Highlights and Jongleurs..
Also he’s worked as a warm up artist for loads of popular shows on television such as Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Shooting Stars, Later with Jools Holland, Jonathan Ross as well dozens of others you may know… and some you definitely won’t. He is still relieved that What’s In Your Celebrity Fridge? never made it to series..

‘Andy Robinson is an absolute joy to work with… self-deprecating, generous, very funny and relaxed’ – Jo Brand

And he'll be supported by Richard Quarmby, Gareth & Kiruna, Dave Pitt & Frankie Peoples..
