Stan Boardman is best associated with his German’s jokes and his success on the hit ITV show The Comedians.  In more recent years he’s dissappeared off our screens after causing outrage on the Des O’ Connor Show.

However he’s still going strong, playing to sell out crowds in a variety of venues.

Stan Boardman was born in Liverpool on 7th December 1940.  When he was  a young child, during World War 2, Stan and his family were evacuated to Wrexham.  On returning to their Merseyside home, thinking they had escaped the worst of the bombing, tragedy struck when Stan;’s older brother Tommy was killed in a bombing raid.

Moving onto 1967 Stan married Vivienne Brennan, they are still married and have two children Paul and Andrea who are twins and three grandchildren.

His first brush with stand up came whilst he and his family were on holiday at a Butlin’s holiday camp.  They persuaded him to enter the weekly talent competition; just for fun.  Reluctantly agreeing, Stan got up, entertaining a full house with a barrage of jokes.  He won first prize.

Little did he know that that talent contest was  one heat, in a much larger national competition.  Stan,  gained in confidence with every appearance, progressing through each stage to secure a place in the Grand Final at the London Palladium. It was here that his distinctive style of comedy and his original material helped him walk off with the £1,000 first prize, a summer season engagement and the title ‘Star Act Of The Year’.

Next step Television and an appearance on Opportunity Knocks topping the poll with the studio audience.  He was invited back to appear on the program’s Gala Show and for the Opportunity Knocks Variety Awards Shows.  Stan was now a television must have and so it was no surprise when he was asked to take over as host of Southern Television’s popular children’s series Runaround.  Stan followed Leslie Crowther and fellow comedian Mike Reid.

Stan featured in the later series of The Comedians alongside Roy Walker and Mick Miller.  Just as Charlie Williams and Ken Goodwin had become two of the stand out names from the first series Stan Boardman became one of the stand out names in the later series.  After making his debut he was invited back for a second series.

Since the success of The Comedians Stan has appeared made many television appearances, the most notable of which was Des O’ Connor Tonight when his “Fockers” jike saw him disappear from our TV screens for a while.  He’s played to packed theatres and other venues all round the world since that first appearance on The Comedians and in 2011 returned to Blackpool with other surviving members of The Comedians for a 40th Anniversary Show hosted by the man who started it all Johnnie Hamp.

Bradford Comedy Club are back with a belting line up for you!

Joe McTernon – Headline

With almost 40 million online streams Joe McTernan is a Edinburgh based comedian and has toured with Tom Stade and Steve Hughes (2021). His energetic and personal style has gained him bookings at many gigs across Scotland.

Joe has performed on BBC Scotland’s Television show ‘The Comedy Underground’, starred and co wrote (Scottish Comedy Award winning) the online sitcom M.U.F.F alongside Daniel Sloss, and has also written and performed in content for BBC Short Stuff.

 

Anthony J Brown – Opener

Clad in a sartorially edifying bespoke manner, like a dapper and dandy funeral director, Anthony cuts a unique on-stage presence with humour blacker than a raven that has slammed it’s claw in a coffin lid.

Eschewing the well trodden terrain of the one-liner witticism, Mr Brown’s penchant is for 4, 5, 6 and 7-liners drenched in evocative imagery and laced with comedic red herrings. And not the merest hint of profanity.

He constantly engages the assembled throng with a cryogenic stare whilst slowly and very gently caressing the microphone stand with well manicured talons.

To be quite so casually tactile with an inanimate object in full public view takes a certain confidence, especially whilst punctuating his bizarre and often hilariously misanthropic anecdotes with measured pauses that you could reverse a Heavy Goods Vehicle through.

The overall effect is both perversely hypnotic and wholly original, leaving the audience zealously hanging on to every syllable like turncoat lemmings on a rockface.

He appears at all the major UK venues.

Jongleurs/Metro ‘Stand & Deliver’ Comedy Award Winner and former BBC New Comedy Award Runner-Up.

Appeared on Channel 4′s “Phoenix Nights”, ITV’s “Attitude” and “Spanking New” on BBC7.

 

Thomas Henry – Middle

Thomas has been entertaining crowds in London and New York with his wry observations and cheeky charm. Official selection for the New York Comedy Festival and winner of Broadway Comedy ‘New Faces’, he’s one to watch on the UK comedy scene.

!!TRIPLE HEADLINER SHOW!!

His charm attracts audiences from all over the globe through his captivating story telling, impeccable dialects, and precise regional accents. Growing up with immigrant parents from England and Ireland, Kevin has sold out theatres across Ontario and has amassed a large and loyal online following.

Roland Gent – After completing a Foundation Course in Performing Arts at Chesterfield College Roland Gent started a career in radio, as a broadcast assistant on BBC GMR Talk and then Radio One. He even presented a breakfast show on Asian Sound Radio under the name Rakish.

He started performing stand-up in 1997, making his Edinburgh Festival debut at The Great Big Comedy Picnic composite stand-up show in 2003.

The following year, he was a finalist in both the City Life North West Comedian of the Year and the Holsten Pils/FHM Comedian of the Year and now boasts of performing hundreds of gigs a year, mainly in the North-West.

 

Sean Percival was born and raised in Dudley. When he left school he became a Fabricator/Welder, which meant early mornings, that didn’t fit in with his late night lifestyle. At this point, Sean had no interest in comedy whatsoever.

He didn’t own a single comedy DVD and he’d never been to a comedy club, but when Steve (the lorry driver at the factory where he worked, who was also a performance poet and ran creative writing workshops) told him that he was funny and that if he wrote down some of the things he said at work he could possibly be a comedian, Sean decided to give it a go.

Steve took Sean to a comedy club. Sean then wrote some stuff and Steve helped him edit it. Sean started doing open mic spots and a couple of years later he gave up work and became a comedian.

Since then Sean has had a fantastic time performing all over the world. It’s a great way to make a living.
