Ludlow-ho-ho-ho: Comedy acts aplenty on the town's fringe menu
Comedians will be trying to exercise your chuckle muscles at a Shropshire fringe festival that starts tomorrow.
Ludlow Fringe Festival kicks off and this year has attracted a fair few up-and-coming acts which are set for success, many of which are en route to Edinburgh, a well-known launch pad for those seeking fame.
Adam Flood and Thao Cao are some of the acts coming to town.
Adam is described as high energy and adds a twist of the surreal using enthusiastic act-outs, vocal effects, samples, short songs and crowd work to keep the audience on their toes.
Thao Cao is an observational comedian who has an unusual background. She says: “I like to do a mix of comedic style with some witty one-liners, observational humour as well as storytelling.
"Growing up in Australia and being a Vietnamese refugee I feel I have a unique story to tell.”
Their show is on Tuesday June 20 at Ludlow Brewery.
Stella Graham: Dragon is a half Sri-Lankan lass from Coventry. She is performing on Wednesday, June 28 at Ludlow Assembly Rooms.
She has had rave reviews from the LA Comedy Store and Adelaide and Perth Fringe and the NZ Comedy Festival.
She is described as a diminutive figure but packs a punch with her shameless repartee.
The other Fringe comedy shows which are appearing this year are Harun Musho’d, Richard Pulsford, Tommy Cooper Show, Twin Possible, Maybe Dick, Madame Chandeliers Opera Party, Harvey Greenfield is running late, Ian Stone, Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppets and Friday Night Comedy at Ludlow Brewery, which is hosted by Drew Taylor.
But unfortunately this show has already sold out.
Tickets can be purchased at the Ludlow Fringe Box Office or from www.ludlowfringe.co.uk.
The Box Office will be open throughout the festival fortnight from 10 am - 4 pm and you will still be able to buy tickets last minute for some of the shows.
