Hi Folks,
We’re looking forward to another brilliant night of laughter at The Folly on Monday 1st June — great food, fantastic comedians, and the best comedy venue in town.
Set in the beautiful vaulted upstairs room, with its warm candlelit cosiness, it really is something special.
Opening the show is Neil McFarlane, who began his comedy career in Scotland over 20 years ago and remains a regular at the highly regarded Stand Comedy Clubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Neil’s dry, laconic style and relaxed delivery have made him a popular MC and support act across the British Isles and beyond.
In the middle spot is Andrew Watts, one of the most talked-about new acts on the comedy circuit. His distinctive style and original material mark him out as one to watch. Formerly a solicitor in London, Andrew is now a full-time comedian and writer based in Wiltshire. His debut Edinburgh show, I Wish I Could Be Like Andrew Watts, received excellent reviews, and he’s rapidly building a strong reputation on the club circuit.
Closing the show is Ronnie Golden, whose CV reads like a who’s who of British comedy and rock ’n’ roll.
As a teenage guitarist, Ronnie worked with musical legends including Tom Jones, Scott Walker, Engelbert Humperdinck and even David Bowie before forming cult late-70s renegade band Fabulous Poodles, whose album Mirror Stars outsold both The Clash and The Jam in America in the early 80s.
Within weeks of the band’s demise, he became a founding member of the legendary Comic Strip alongside Rik Mayall, Ben Elton, French and Saunders, and Alexei Sayle, and appeared as Buddy Holly in the first series of The Young Ones. A regular contributor to Spitting Image, Ronnie finally scored a number one single with The Chicken Song / We’re Scared of Bob.
A refined gentleman of music and comedy, Ronnie will close the evening with charm, wit and effortless skill.
Advance bookings are just £25, which include your main course and reserved seating at a table. Please pop into the Folly Downstairs Bar, or call them on 01730 719564 for reservations.
£10 tickets on the door after 6:30pm on the day, no reserved seating but we'll try to find you a seat somewhere. But it is probably better to just come in around 7pm, have a great meal, sit back and let the world disappear in fits of laughter.
Join us for a warm, welcoming night of pure entertainment.
See you there,
Chaz
