ENGLISH COMEDY NIGHT W/ ALLYSON SMITH & SEAN MCLOUGHLIN

Allyson Smith is maybe our Brussels' audience favorite female comedian, and you are totally right!  Every time she performs in Brussels she raises the roof.  The bar being set quite high (the roof), we are also bringing back another comedy master in the person of Sean McLoughlin.

 

Allyson June Smith (Can)


Since 2000, Allyson June Smith has been tickling Canada’s comedy scene from the moment she put down the chalk brush and picked up a mic.
Playing to packed rooms has become like another day in the classroom for this former school teacher.


Her credits include her own hour long Comedy Now special, appearances on CBC Radio’s hit show The Debaters, and the Winnipeg, Halifax and Just For Laughs Festivals, to name just a few. A multiple Canadian Comedy Award nominee for Best Female Stand-Up, she performs for audiences ranging from corporations to the most rural of gatherings. Whether she was the emcee, support, or headliner, she's delighted them all.


After working her way across Canada, Allyson now has taken her craft to the UK. Using her sassy blend of in-your-face stand-up and hilariously insightful commentary, she now works for major UK promoters and comedy clubs.


It is her genuine and unique sense of humor, combined with excellent performance timing, that has made audiences augh. This teacher-come-comic is ready to show international audiences why she is a sought-after fan favourite.

 

 

Sean McLoughlin

Sean McLoughlin has performed gigs of all sizes right across the U.K. and internationally, from the big weekend clubs to the smaller independents, universities and crack dens. He’s also supported Doc Brown and Katherine Ryan on tour, and made an appearance on Russell Howard’s Stand-Up Central on Comedy Central.

Edinburgh Fringe 2014 – I Will Prevail:

“What a genuinely fresh and powerful voice…it is wonderful” The Scotsman

“On the cusp of far greater recognition on the back of a strong comic voice very competently delivered.” The List

 

Nominated by fellow comedians for the UK Barry Award for ‘Best Performer’
