JEFF INNOCENT

Multi award winning comedian Jeff Innocent has reached legendary status among his peers and audiences alike by staying at the top of his game for over 20 years. His unique appeal lies in the contrast between his East End 'geezer’ appearance and demeanour, and his educated, philosophical delivery and culturally relevant subject matter. Always original, he continues to cement his position within the history of British stand up comedians with his regular performances on the UK and world live comedy circuit and has recently acquired a whole new generation of fans, through his online viral video clips.

Jeff Innocent started his comedy career in the mid 90’s at the age of 41 after a colourful and eventful life including a father and brothers best described as ‘entrepreneurs’, working as a window dresser in the trendy 70’s world of London's Kings Rd and Carnaby St fashion shops and appearing regularly as an actor at the radical Half Moon Theatre in London's Aldgate. It was in 1996, after a gap of 25 years, that Jeff resumed his passion for performing by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course a 40th birthday gift tutored by the legendary alternative stand up pioneer Tony Allen. Since then Jeff has performed stand-up comedy not just in the UK but in such far flung and unlikely locations as Viet Nam, Abu Dhabi, China, the Philippines, India, Norway, South Africa and Kuala Lumpur to name just a few.

"Jeff Innocent delivers a masterclass in stand up comedy every time he performs." Sunday Times

"It should be made law that every British citizen should go and see Jeff innocent, he’s that funny." Evening Standard

"Jeff presents a show that’s part history lesson, part sociology lecture, but all funny." Guardian

HELEN BAUER

AND YOUR RESIDENT HOST:

BEN VAN DER VELDE

One of the quickest wits around and a much-loved compere, he always brings a jam-packed back of nonsense, silliness and wisecracks to every gig he hosts.

"Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue." Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.”  Huffington Post
