David Ward is a circuit stalwart, regular MCing and performing sets at the major comedy clubs around the MC. His frantic style is underlined by smart writing and his ability to dip into the crowd is a real bonus.
“Guaranteed to be well-received, especially as his material is so universal – a reliably funny addition to any bill ” Chortle
“This poignant and moving show about a man’s struggle through his gambling addiction, time in prison, and various relationships, is not the comedy I expected, but rather a retrospect that is darkly funny, in that way life can be. His observant nature is an excellent tool for both his comedy and his reflections, and Ward proved to be a skilled storyteller, able to take the audience with him as he spoke honestly about all he has been through. If you want a show that speaks with honesty, and with an added slice of black humour, you won’t be disappointed.” Three Weeks-Edinburgh Fringe
About Getaway Comedy
It’s all about the laughs at Getaway Comedy. Expect a delicious mix of playful, unapologetic, dark, punchy and (most importantly) very funny stand-up. Our main aim is to make sure our audiences have a top night out. Line-ups are booked purely on merit (ie. how funny each act is), with an emphasis on making sure there’s a variety of comedic styles for you to enjoy throughout the show. A spoonful of observational, a sprinkling of one-liners, a pinch of musical, a dollop of the daft… you get the picture. With all the crap going on in the world, Getaway Comedy is an opportunity to escape to laughter for a couple of hours.
Getaway Comedy have been putting on shows for over a decade (previously under the banner of The Stand-Up Club), and have built up a reputation as one of the best run and funniest comedy clubs in the UK. We also founded and run the £10,001 British Comedian of the Year competition, with the biggest cash prize in British comedy. With venues across London and the South, check out the nearest venue to you on our Venues Page.
