Gun Brewery, in association with Village Idiot Comedy, are pleased to offer you an unforgettable night of comedy with compere Adam Preston presenting two brilliant acts.
Tom Rosenthal as a comedian has received critical praise over the years for his relaxed observational comedy and sharply written punchlines. His previous show, ‘Manhood’, saw him receive rave reviews, notably being called a “striking show, raising questions and laughter in equal measure” (Brian Logan, The Guardian).
Tom is also an award winning actor and comedian best known for his work in the award winning series Friday Night Dinner (Channel 4) and Plebs (ITV 2), which both set records for the highest audience and highest ratings for any comedy across their respective channels. Tom’s acting credits also include Lloyd of the Flies, Broadchurch (ITV) and Bridget Jones’ Baby.
On screen, Tom has appeared on Drunk History (Comedy Central), Roast Battle (Comedy Central), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), The Last Leg (Channel 4), The Great Pottery Throwdown (Channel 4), Pointless Celebrities (BBC One) and more. On stage, he is currently playing the titular role in The Government Inspector at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Trevor Lock first went on the telly with Lee and Herring and on tour with Stewart Lee. He starred in all three series of Channel 4’s British Comedy Award winning, BAFTA nominated Star Stories, wrote two plays for Radio 4 and once addressed the Oxford Union on the meaning of life. True stories, one-liners, flights of fancy and plausible theories, all went into his stream of consciousness freestyle stand up. The Scotsman once described him as ‘Funny, moving and clever.’ TimeOut, simply as ‘hilarious’ and culture website Spoonfed thought he could ‘probably win an award for the most laughs in a minute.’ The Sunday Times wrote of the ‘superbly comic writing’ of his plays on the Edinburgh Fringe. Then along came Trevor Lock’s Community Circle. A two hour “social experiment” in which there are no jokes and no actual content and which seemingly doesn’t even begin. In their respective 5 star reviews Community Circle has been described by The Daily Mirror as ‘The most fun you can have without taking your clothes off’ and in The Scotsman Kate Copstick wrote that it ‘blew me away … a masterclass in comedy performance’.
