Need a laugh? Brighten up your January by a trip to this month's Comedy Club at Quay Arts on Friday 25 Jan at 8pm, featuring funny men Andrew Lawrence, Mark Allen and one surprise act!

Andrew Lawrence's debut at the Edinburgh Fringe was in 2001, when he wrote, directed and appeared in the sketch show Skin Pickings and he hasn't looked back since. His dark thoughts, gruff voice and soaring songs make him an immediately engaging act - his demonic, teen-with-a-guitar persona makes you think he would probably be killing for fun if he weren't performing comedy! It also whisked him to second place in the Final of 'So You Think You're Funny?' in August 2003 and winner of the BBC New Comedy Competition 2004. Now based in London, he is gigging regularly all over the UK and being invited back to every club.

"Allen is a comic with something new to say" The Guardian

"Witty and absorbing" Time Out

"...impeccable timing and genuinely funny song ... routines combine to create moments of absolute hilarity" Three Weeks Magazine

"spellbinding and totally mesmerising" John Pidgeon, BBC Radio Editor of Light Entertainment

Don't miss this evening of live entertainment and laughter...
