This Month at Catch 22:

Greg Cook is a gruff working class comedian who cuts an unforgettable figure. Looking at him, you wouldn't believe he used to be a lawyer. 'Law and comedy is essentially the same gig,' says Greg, 'telling lies for money. But this way I don't have to wear a tie.'

Support comes from The German Comedy Ambassador to The United Kingdom, Henning When. This is not the easiest of jobs because the Germans allegedly do not have a sense of humour. Henning does not find that funny. Expect a deconstructed look at comedy in true German style, Henning's attention to even the tiniest detail takes you to anally retentive and beyond. Totally brilliant.

MC Jason Cook returns and as always, we support new comedy in the middle section with a new act.

Not only ultra-charming MC Matt Reed, and fresh new face Lloyd Langford - [one of the best new acts we've seen in ages], but also 'awesome' [The Independent] electric guitar-wielding headliner Rob Deering. This man is probably the only comedian who regularly works the crowd into such a frenzy that they end up invading the stage. Beat that!

Jimmy says ‘This show is exactly the same as last year’s except every single word. It’s rude, crude and offensive but those aren’t the only reasons you’ll enjoy it.’

Book early to avoid disappointment (or alternatively lower your expectations).

The boys are promising an eclectic mix of song and dance, from jaunty re-workings of classic covers to their own comic observations of life in the noughties. Book early to avoid disappointment.

This Month at Catch 22:

We welcome the superbly named Anthony Johnston Aethelwulf Sulla Law, or as we know him…Tony Law. Imagine if Harry Potter was a Canadian non wizard in his mid thirties who writes very funny jokes with his big hands. That's Tony Law says aficionado and comedy legend Sean Lock.

Support for the night comes in the shape of Vince Atta. Some say it's wonderful, we find it odd that Vince manages to include the following in his set; students, spanish horses in a kitchen, psychotic London ex-girlfriends, pointless racial pride and the advantages of an alcoholic mother.

Jason Cook returns for his 3rd gig on the trot and we'll chuck in a fresh face to make up the middle section of the evening.

Tonight's headliner Rob Rouse will be a familiar face to many, after appearances on TV shows such as the Friday Night Project, 8 out of 10 Cats, and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. The Sunday Times called him 'a future star', Time Out 'a born clown', the Guardian just plain 'phenomenal'. Who are we to disagree?

This could be the perfect way to kick off your festive season, but be warned...we're expecting an early sellout, so please buy well in advance to avoid disappointment.
