Comedy in Lossie
Comedy in Lossie
27 January 2006

The recently opened Warehouse Theatre has joined forces with Moray Council’s Arts Development team to bring a night of comedy to Lossiemouth.

Boothby Graffoe, the only comedian to be named after a Lincolnshire village will visit the Warehouse Theatre on Sunday 26th February. 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 a Time Out Comedy Award and a 1995 Perrier Award nominee, he has also co-written and starred in two series of The Big Booth for Radio 4 and seen two of his plays, The Condition Of The Virgin and God and Adam performed at the Edinburgh Festival. All of which is why he has recently had his own series on Radio 4.

As well as pleasing his die hard fans, the live radio series aimed to bring the full flavour of Boothby to an audience who did not know his work. He is a skilled performer, has a good singing voice and he tells great gags, ranging from the political to the silly and surreal and delivers great anecdotes.

The Warehouse Theatre date is the first time the venue has staged comedy and the event promises to be a good night out.

The evening begins at 8pm (please bring your own refreshments). Tickets are £9 (£8 concession) and can be booked on 01343 814004 or bought in advance from Buckley's News Agents, 29 Queen Street, Lossiemouth. Tickets will also be available on the door, subject to availability.
