Lyme Regis Comedy Club with Andrew O’Neill

Friday 7 April 2023

Twelve pounds and four acts, it's the best value comedy club in the South West. Andrew O'Neill is an award-winning comedian who has starred in Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up. Also on the bill is Samantha Day, resident host Tom Glover and one more act to be confirmed.

Twelve pounds and four acts, it's the best value comedy club in the South West. Andrew O'Neill is an award-winning comedian who has starred in Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up. Also on the bill is Samantha Day, resident host Tom Glover and one more act to be confirmed.

Andrew has performed in over a dozen different countries, at over a hundred different festivals and is equally at home in rowdy comedy clubs as performing to their own cult following.

They co-wrote and starred in Radio 4’s occult sitcom Damned Andrew and authored the book A History Of Heavy Metal, described by Alan Moore as “a comprehensive landmark analysis of an enormous area of music that has been too long without such a thing, and has the massive advantage of the funny being turned up to twelve. A loud and thoroughly engrossing love-story.”

TV credits include Saxondale and their recent Radio 4 stand-up show Pharmacist Baffler proved to be an award-winning hit.

Support from Samantha Day and TBC

Former accountant-turned stand-up comedian, Samantha Day reached the semi-finals of Jason Manford’s Best New Act 2020 just before lockdown and since the world re-opened has been making a name for herself across the UK comedy circuit. Turning to comedy after 30 years in the real world, Samantha Day has a distinctive act that sets her apart from the rest of comedy scene. “The Real deal, a fresh voice tempered by a life full of square peg experience” (Nick Page, English Comedian of the Year)
