AAA Stand Up

Combining topical, observational and downright daft humour, this hour long stand-up show is the product of three excellent stand-up comedians. Paddy Lennox, who opens and compères the show, is laid-back and charismatic, and acts as a successful counterpoint to Tom Craine's dynamic energy and fast pace. Craine's ideas for dressing strippers up as Suffragettes to re-enact significant moments in feminism show both his intelligence and razor-sharp wit. This diverse and entertaining show is topped off with the filthy ruminations of Maff Brown who, according to his stand up routine, spends most of his time terrorising innocent members of the public. Vastly entertaining, this show proves that the AAA stand-up comedians have great things ahead of them.
