PBJ Management Ltd present Mike Wozniak - Take The Hit, Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival, The Belmont Hotel



PBJ Management Ltd present

Mike Wozniak - Take The Hit

Best Show Nominee, Fosters Comedy Awards 2013

His wife’s parents have moved in. Permanently. Not so much a show as a person getting out of the house. But fear not, Wozniak has more show business in his moustache than he does in his little finger. Where do you keep yours? Let’s find out if we get around to it. ‘Just could be the new comedy hero’ Time Out wrote that ages ago. ‘Completely hilarious, highly recommended’ (3 News - they are real and based in New Zealand). Wozniak has a total of 43 stars from an undisclosed number of reviews.

Praise for Take The Hit:

***** The Daily Telegraph
**** Chortle

James Loveridge: Funny Because It's True, The Looking Glass, Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival



Due to an inability to think before he acts James has lived a somewhat ludicrous life, getting himself into scenarios too ridiculous to seem true but amazingly they are. In his first ever hour show James plans to share his most hilarious and outlandish stories and make you laugh, whether you believe him or not.

Last year his double act show ‘James And Amy: A Loser’s Guide To Dating’ sold out at the Leicester Comedy Festival and his debut Edinburgh show 'James Loveridge and Other Losers' was met with excellent reviews.

'..his tales of provincial misadventure are by far the funniest parts of his set, delivered with witty self-deprecation and perfect timing.' - Three Weeks

'**** ...he had the rest of us in stitches throughout a polished yet ever-evolving act, with asides and quips just as strong his actual jokes' - The Skinny

'**** James is an animated story teller; an entertainer. His jokes and asides are self-deprecating and sharp, and delivered in such a manner that makes it difficult not to laugh along.' - www.edfringereview.com

'A thoroughly enjoyable storyteller and a charismatic self-deprecator, James treated the audience like a roomful of friends. Interacting with as many people as he could, he entertained the crowd brilliantly between acts and threaded the evening with a real sense of warmth.' - www.whats-on-london.co.uk
