Kevin McCarthy remains one of the biggest and most loved performers by comics and audiences alike, compering and headlining at all the major Comedy Clubs in the UK.

 

With an ever-changing act, and the ability to find humour in any subject, Kevin's warm personality and utterly relaxed stage persona puts the audience instantly at ease. His appetite for topical mirth is second to none and he will have even the hardest of crowds eating out of his hand, as well as watching their back for he's as sharp as they come.

 

Kevin’s comedy career took off by pure accident, after getting up on stage at the Tunnel Club in South East London, just to win a dare! From this point on in the late 80’s Kevin has never looked back. His act has taken him as far as Bosnia & Afghanistan to entertain our troops. His reputation in the comedy industry is second to none, both as a comedy set performer or one of the most highly skilled comperes on the UK circuit today. Kevin also has vast experience in the world of corporate hospitality, having entertained the largest of blue-chip clients available today.

 

His ability and experience to connect with any audience is second to none. Kevin’s long established outstanding career was recognised by Club Mirror and voted the honour of Club Mirror Comedian of the Year. McCarthy has many TV appearances under his belt and has also been involved in the writing of ITV BAFTA award winning programme The Sketch Show. He also the chosen warm up act for Later with Jools Holland. Kevin is a massive coup for any event

 

 

Anecdotal, observational and refreshingly honest in style, Gerry’s comedy is enriched by a somewhat unique perspective: Real name Gerry Kyei (pronounced “Chay”), Gerry was born in the East End, but grew up in rural Essex, as a rare black face in an almost totally white ¬and very parochial area (a million miles away from the traditional Essex stereotype towns like Harlow, Basildon, Romford and Southend). In addition to providing some truly original insights into life in rural England, these early experiences have ensured Gerry’s comedy delights an incredible range of audiences often confounds expectations.

 

Starting in comedy as the result of a dare, his rise to headline act was a quick one, scooping a range of accolades along the way including; The Comedy Store’s ‘King Gong’, Metrolife Comedy Newcomer, and The Comedy Café’s Best Newcomer Awards.

 

Now a regular and in-demand headline act both in the UK and overseas, Gerry has played all of the nation’s leading clubs including The Comedy Store, Jongleurs, Komedia. He is also a firm favourite on the corporate circuit and for after-dinner speaking engagements.

 

As an actor he has appeared on The Bill and Angelo’s and recently enjoyed a cameo role on Jimmy Carr’s Xmas DVD. As a presenter, he’s hosted the football forum with former England international and I’m A Celebrity bad boy Rodney Marsh and legendary Sky host Jeff Stelling for Zoo Magazine and has also guested on BBC Nottingham’s ‘The Breakfast Show’.

 

With his energetic and likeable personality, infectious joie de vivre and a beaming smile that warms up the coldest of nights, Gerry K is a truly feelgood act.
