On Monday 20th April it’s another special edition of Tennent’s Laughter Lounge as we’ve booked his unholiness THE REVEREND OBADIAH STEPPENWOLF III to headline at Tennent's Bar, Glasgow. The night will also feature a strong selection of exciting new acts, all fronted by guest host Pierce Higgins. And with free entry and pints for as low as £3.50, there’s no better night out in this city!

Join the FB event: Tennent's Laughter Lounge ft. THE REVEREND OBADIAH STEPPENWOLF III

The loud-mouthed, bible-bashing alter-ego of Jim Muir, The Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolf III is an essential comedy experience unlike anything else out there. The Reverend has taken to spreading the word of the Lord on the Radio with his weekly Saints & Sinners round up on Kerrang’s breakfast show and also the Devil’s Own Television, as well as around comedy clubs all over the UK. He was a regular on all 4 series of BBC’s Live Floor Show, for which he was nominated for Scottish BAFTA’S best newcomer award. His 2003 Edinburgh Fringe double-headline show with Frankie Boyle provoked massive, diverse reactions and was simultaneously hailed as the most exciting and original as well as the most offensive and dangerous show on the Fringe. The Reverend’s debut solo Edinburgh Festival Show, What Would Charlie Sheen Do? received 5 star rave reviews. The Reverend’s alter-ego Jim Muir wrote for Channel 4’s Distraction and 8 Out Of 10 Cats, as well as for BBC Two’s Mock The Week.
'His act is a tour de force in political incorrectness, and when blended with a brilliant sense of timing, it proves to be devilishly funny... Uproarious... Hilarious!' - Broadway Baby
'Unforgettable character comedy’ - Evening News
'The best comedian I've seen who doesn't have his own chat show....It baffles me that the Rev is performing at Fringe bar in Edinburgh when he could easily fill a prime-time slot on ITV’ - The Spectator
'The man is a tornado, a fount of pitch-perfect jokes coupled with quite masterful timing and material that flouts the very laws of censure... Howlingly funny' - Metro
