SUMMARY:Comedy Social with Paul Kerensa
DESCRIPTION:Great news for comedy fans! The Comedy Social is back at Northwood House…so grab some friends\, prime your giggle muscles and get ready for our next instalment….and what a line up we have for you! \nFollowing our inaugural sell out event back in April we are delighted to present an exclusive evening of fantastic comedy with our amazing headliner\, the very renowned UK TV scriptwriter Paul Kerensa\, who’ll be performing his stand up show for us live in the Northwood House Ballroom on Friday 9th September. \n \nPaul has scripted a number of hilarious and very well known TV shows over the last 20 years including the BBC’s “Miranda” and the  “Not Going Out” series\, as well doing writing stints with Top Gear and Spitting Image…so this is a great opportunity not to miss if you’re a fan of any of these great programmes. \nJoining Paul Kerensa on stage at our second Comedy Social  is another Paul…the rising national comedy circuit star Paul Cox. Paul (number two) is also a writer and performer\, best known for his hilarious anecdotes about his personal life. Born locally in Portsmouth (don’t worry\, we won’t hold that against him!)\, he has performed stand-up all over the UK and is a member of the the London based sketch group\, Unhinged. His debut Edinburgh show\, ‘Common People’ received 4 stars from Edinburgh based magazine Ed Fest. He was also a  finalist in the prestigious Hackney Empire New Act (NATYS) in 2018 and a finalist for South Coast Comedian of the year in 2017. \n \nPaul Cox  is definitely an unsung talent on the UK comedy circuit\, performing at some of the best clubs alongside the stars\, where he is very much at home. He has supported Esther Manito on tour and appeared at the Byline Festival and Victorious in his home town of Portsmouth and we’re delighted to have him on our second Comedy Social bill! \nSo what a line up we have for you this September…we can’t wait and we hope you can’t too? \nSo let’s get social and have a laugh! \nThis is all about a sociable night out and doing something different in Cowes rather than going to the pub or out for dinner! So gather some mates or some girlfriends…or even the other half and come along! \nThe vibe is very much “comedy club”\, with a relaxed lounge and table seating plan…perfect for relaxing with friends on a fun night out! As well as the comedy we will have some great live acoustic music from popular local lads\, Mr Mojo Duo\, who’ll be here to open and close the Comedy Social and entertain us during the interval. \n \nThe Northwood House Lawn Bar will be open all through the evening for drinks and bar snacks. Guests are welcome to arrive early and enjoy a sociable drink and a pizza on the lawn (available from our guest local caterer Captain Pizza) any time from 5pm.
