Joe Lycett: I'm About to Lose Control And I Think Joe Lycett Live (DVD)Joe performed an Edinburgh Preview show for us at The Parish Hall in Barnard Castle way back in 2012 (it was a double header with Chris Ramsey!!). A few weeks later he was nominated as Best Newcomer in Edinburgh. How his career has progressed since then. This is his second DVD.Joe Lycett has pressed his brand new stand-up show I m About To Lose Control and I think Joe Lycett onto this very digital versatile disc! Pop it in your DVD player to join Joe as he shares jokes, paintings and some of the pathetic trolling he's been up to recently such as breaking into banks, selling art for 12.5 million quid and taking on bronze medal winning Olympians. Recorded at The Eventim Apollo, London, to a sell-out crowd.
Since his time in Barnard Castle, you've probably seen Joe absolutely smashing it on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, QI, Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo, Roast Battle and The Royal Variety Performance. This is his second DVD. You will totally love it babe!!! |

Of course, this DVD holds a very special place for us as John Bishop performed three of his warm up shows in Barnard Castle on the early part of his 150 date tour. Anyone who came along will wonder if the Market Cross in Barney gets a mention on the DVD (as it did on several of the arena shows!!).
Multi award winning, comedy superstar, John Bishop is back with his brand new DVD. Recorded during his mammoth 150 date sell out tour of UK & Ireland at the iconic London Palladium in 2018. Here on this very DVD, you too can experience him 'Winging It'! John shares his opinions on the royal family and how Kate Middleton could have been Mrs Bishop. You'll find yourself carried along with his brilliantly observed feelings about hitting the big 50, how to deal with the 'empty nest', the menopause, the moment he finally managed to impress his mates with his fairly new found fame and getting a 'name-check', live on stage in Boston, from his idol Bono! His everyman style of delivery make the 90 minutes pass in a flurry of belly laughs and nostalgia. The Times - ★ ★ ★ ★ 'Everything is infused with his startlingly natural personality' The Liverpool Echo - ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 'John Bishop produced a stand-up master class' |

Robin Ince - I'm a Joke and So Are You: A Comedian’s Take on What Makes Us Human (Book)"I’m A Joke And So Are You is one of the best books ever written about what it means to be a comedian, mainly because it’s not satisfied to be just that. It’s certainly a must-read for anyone interested in the workings of comedy and comedians., but probably for anyone interested in the workings of human beings in general." Chortle
