This is unmissable stuff” - The Mirror ***** “ Kevin Bridges is destined for the top” - The Herald ***** “Will have you snorting with laughter long after leaving the venue ” - The Scotsman **** Kevin Bridges , Scotland’s “young comedy prodigy” (The Guardian) has had a fantastic year so far.

His unique brand of social commentary, astute observations and sharp one-liners, “confirm him as one of the most accomplished young comics on both sides of the border” (Chortle). Kevin was a huge success earlier this year at Channel 4’s Comedy Gala Live at the O2 in aid of Great Ormond Street (Channel 4) performing alongside major comedy stars including Lee Evans, Michael McIntyre and Bill Bailey.

Kevin will be releasing his debut DVD on Monday 22 nd November. Filmed at Glasgow’s SECC arena in May 2010 ‘ The Story So Far ... Live in Glasgow’ will be released by Universal Pictures UK and is available now to pre-order from www.amazon.co.uk .

    Jarred Christmas

    Jarred Christmas COMEDIAN, WRITER, TV & RADIO PRESENTER, IMPROVISER AND ACTOR ‘BEST CHILDREN’S SHOW’ NOMINEE – LEICESTER COMEDY FESTIVAL 2017 ‘BEST COMPERE’ - CHORTLE AWARDS 2016 New Zealand Sensation Jarred Christmas is one of the most innovative and exciting stand-ups on the UK circuit. A sought-after headliner famed for his quick-witted spontaneity, masterful skills of improvisation and energetic storytelling; Jarred is a regular at the Edinburgh Festival, and at comedy clubs and International festivals around the globe. He is a regular team member at The Comedy Store’s weekly topical show The Cutting Edge and was recently named Best Compere at the 2016 Chortle Awards; scooping the title for the second time. A dynamic onstage persona combined with the ability to improvise with anything that’s thrown his way makes Jarred’s comedy sizzle with originality. Early in his career he supported both Ross Noble and Tommy Tiernan on UK tours. He has since written and performed in countless shows at the Edinburgh Festival and has toured the UK in his own right with his solo shows Jarred Christmas Stands Up and Let’s Go Mofo. Combining his superlative improv and stand-up comedy skills (not to mention vocal agility), Jarred has recently developed The Mighty Beatbox Gameshow and a child-friendly version The Mighty Kids Beatbox Gameshow which he hosts alongside acclaimed beatboxer The Hobbit. The show has played at festivals around the UK including Edinburgh and the Leicester Comedy Festival. The kid’s version of the show was nominated for ‘Best Children’s Show’ at this year’s Leicester Comedy Festival.

SPECIFICALLY, I EXPLORE HOW THE SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER – AS DISSEMINATED BY THE PODCAST – CAN LEAD TO EXPLOSIONS OF EMOTION IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE; SETTING THE BODY IN MOTION AND LEADING TO NEW WAYS OF THINKING, FEELING AND BEING. WHILE THESE PUBLIC EXPLOSIONS OF EMOTION CAN BE TRANSGRESSIVE, I POSTULATE THAT THEY CAN ALSO RELIEVE SOME OF THE TENSION CREATED BY THE NEGATIVE AFFECTS SWIRLING AROUND FEMINISM, WHICH, ACCORDING TO AHMED, “IS ALWAYS ASSUMED TO BE BRINGING OTHERS DOWN” (AHMED, 2010:65). USING GUATTARI’S IDEAS ON THE PRODUCTION OF SUBJECTIVATION, I ARGUE THAT THESE EXPLOSIONS CAN INTENSIFY THE EMERGENCE OF A GLOBAL, INTERSECTIONAL FEMINIST COMMUNITY, PROVOKING A CONSIDERATION OF HOW PODCASTS SUCH AS THE GUILTY FEMINIST COULD EXTEND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND ONLINE ACTIVISM WITHIN CONTEMPORARY FEMINISMS.
