Just Fair Laughs presents a night of the very best of UK standup, with Alex Boardman, Martin Mor, and MC Tony Vino.
Alex Boardman
“Alex was one of a small band of writers who worked on the second series of John Bishop’s Britain on BBC 1 and he made a significant contribution to it being the highest rated stand up show of 2011 bringing in six million viewers a week. He can turn material around quickly and has the great skill of enhancing existing ideas to make a show better rather than just wishing to force his own material which makes him a great collaborator” John Bishop
“Alex started stand up the year before me at the same dodgy backrooms and pubs in Manchester. He has gone on to be one of the most assured confident stand ups on the circuit and regularly plays all the top comedy clubs here and abroad. I employed him as a writer when I was on 8 Out of 10 cats, he is quality.” Jason Manford
“A great comic and a skilled writer” Sarah Millican
Alex Boardman is now one of the most sought after acts in the country due to his ability to interact with any audience and to seemingly conjure something out of nothing. His free flowing style and natural charm breeze through in performances. His unique brand of “Flattery and abuse” is done with a lack of malice and a big sense of fun.
Before you ask, he is no relation to Stan Boardman.
“Probably the quickest I’ve ever seen, certainly the funniest.” The Big Issue
“Improvised witticisms from the acerbic Mancunian. A veteran of the Madchester phenomenon, his loved-up reminisces and tall tales can lead anywhere on any given night.” The Times
“Call the cops, double, double funny” Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays and Daily Sport)
Martin Mor
Originally known as ‘Martin Big Pig‘, Martin Mor has been a mainstay of the circuit for decades. A former circus acrobat, Martin turned to stand up after sustaining a serious injury in the ring. He is also one of the few acts who can claim to have performed on Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’ as well as in an Italian prison. Although his club work is certainly geared towards adults (Martin has worked extensively with Frankie Boyle) he is an immensely flexible performer and regularly performs ‘clean’ shows for families and kids.
A truly international performer Martin has spread the love at virtually all of the world’s comedy festivals as well as gigging in some of the less popular ones too! 2016 saw him appear in Burma as well as doing a show at Mount Everest Base Camp alongside Tom Wrigglesworth, Mickey D and Wayne Deakin that raised money for Save The Children.
“A very funny lad, with the best beard in the business” Johnny Vegas
“The UK comedy circuit would not be the same without him” Frankie Boyle
“He had all the VIPs shaking with laughter, and engaged on the right level with everyone. Thank you so, so, so much.” Helene Cooper. Northern Beats
“Extremely funny.” Peter Kay
Tony Vino as MC
Preston’s very own funnyman. Tony Vino (**** The Scotsman) has been touring the comedy scene since early 2005. Well aware of social and political issues, he mixes friendly well thought out observational humour with audience interaction and quick witted responses. A finalist in 2006 Funny Bones competition, Tony has enjoyed recognition as a comedian and comedy compere of renown. His life and interests are wide ranging and so is the subject matter he weaves together on stage.
“A Great Show the assured Tony Vino copes with a mixed audience really well” Kate Copstic, The Scotsman
“Uplifting style, great delivery and consistently funny throughout” BBC Manchester
“Tony is very funny, a class act and always comes up with the goods” Darren Goddard, Greenbelt Festival Events
