DOSEWEDNESDAY 21/09/16 7- 10.30 PM

JOEL DOMMETT is one of the UK’s most energetic and exciting comedians returns to the road with his new solo show. A terrific night with no artificial sentiment and plenty of huge laughs. His self-deprecating stories, his fear of rejection, not unreasonable social shyness and general everyman qualities bring everyone onside. He is the master of set up and callback and an outstanding storytelling comic. After receiving great critical acclaim for his Edinburgh Fringe shows, he has gone on to appear in numerous television shows including; Impractical Jokers, Russell Howard’s Good News, Drunk History (Comedy Central), and Skins (E4).
