THE PLAYHOUSE

'Absolute genius. The Einstein of comedy' Chortle
'One of the funniest comics in the land.' The Guardian
'Graffoe’s finest moments rival the fanciful flights of Eddie Izzard... Catch Graffoe now before he sorts his life out' Evening Standard
"This man is a joy to behold... he plays his audience like a virtuoso" Daily Mail
"Wondrous stand-up" Time Out

This very tall comedian from Hull has been honing his gags and guitar-playing on the stand-up circuit since the late 1980s. Winner of the Time Out Comedy Award and 1995 Perrier nominee, he is also the only comedian in the UK named after a Lincolnshire market town. With a brilliantly inventive comic mind that never rests on its laurels, audiences can't help but warm to Graffoe's gloriously laid-back manner. But then, when suitably lulled, he'll whack them with a genuinely unexpected punchline. Gloriously entertaining and creative. A real class act.

Tickets: £8
