Stand-up comedians Damian Kingsley, Conor Drum and Matthew Baylis will perform at the Eden Comedy Club’s 18th Stand Up Comedy Night on Friday at the Eden Cinemas.

Damian Kingsley, the headline act, tells punchy, joke-packed stories and short anecdotes from his personal experience. His persona wavers from cheeky and personable to irritable, deadpan and, at times, borderline sociopathic. This unique mix of traits has led to a strong and distinctive comic voice. In 2016 he did a 120-gig tour with no money or transport, from Land’s End to Edinburgh in aid of the bad housing and homelessness charity, Shelter, raising over £17,000.

Irish comic and actor Conor Drum has appeared on both the RTÉ and the BBC’s New Comedy Awards and has performed around the world, from Barcelona to Los Angeles. He has been described as “a skilled raconteur” by Mumble Comedy and as having “very shrewd observational humour” by BroadwayBaby.com.

Master of Ceremonies Matthew Baylis has travelled the globe with his own unique brand of unashamedly middle class comedy, sharing stories of growing up and getting old in the leafy suburbs of middle England. As a father of six he draws much of his humour from tales of parenthood which ring true with audiences of all ages. With more than half a decade on the comedy circuit Baylis has gigged with some of the best from the UK comedy circuit, including Harry Hill, Milton Jones, Andy Parsons and many others.

The 18th Stand Up Comedy Night is taking places at the Eden Cinemas, Paceville, on Friday at 8.30pm. Doors open at 7.30pm. For tickets, visit http://edencinemas.com.mt or call 2371 0400.
