Addy Borgh has that rare talent of making people laugh
when he walks on stage (helped of course by a large nose and mad
eyes). Addy is a great performer of highly acclaimed and
original material, an ability
noticed immediately by the BBC when he appeared on the 'Stand-up
show' (BBC1) after only one year as a comedian.
He has
subsequently appeared on 'Live at Jongleurs' for Sky TVand will
be appearing in the forthcoming BBC3 series from Baby Cow
Productions, "Baby Candy".
With
brilliant timing and an array of voices and characters which
animate and enliven even the most drab subject matter
(computers, museums, libraries) Addy has built a following of
fans not just in all the major clubs in Britain (Comedy Store,
Jongleurs, Comedy Cafe etc) but also worldwide, including
Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Vietnam and Thailand.
Addy
appeared at the Edinburgh festival in 1998 as part of the
Screaming Blue Murder comedy showcase and in 2000 with his own
sell-out show '21st century fool'. He returned in 2002 with
another hit "Hearing Voices": "With a potent mix of brilliant
mimicry, offbeat character comedy and hilarious observations,
Addy takes you on a journey of the mind to the many voices in
your head, that come together in a brilliant combination" - Time
Out.
"An
excellent stand-up with intelligence and wit" The Guardian
"Addy's
excellent. His flights of fancy and gentle manner are a
brilliant combination" Time Out
"Comic
genius" The Scotsman
"Addy has
a brilliant sense of comic timing" The Independent
"Fantastic. I've seen a lot of comedy and this is the real
thing" The Evening Standard
