Suspiciously Cheap Comedy returns, featuring Phil Wang and Lolly Adefope.
It is usually in London but this gig will be at the picturesque Halen Môn in Anglesey and will also be broadcast live over the internet.
Suspiciously Cheap Comedy is a mixed bill comedy night, run by sketch groups Tarot, Gein’s Family Giftshop and Goose, with Kiri Pritchard-McLean the resident MC. It’s a new material night that books the best names in the country, for the best audience in the country, at the best prices. They have attracted some of the biggest names in comedy already, including Daniel Kitson, Greg Davies, Rose Matafeo, Milton Jones, Sara Pascoe, Joe Lycett, Nina Conti, Nish Kumar, Lolly Adefope, James Acaster, Josie Long, Bridget Christie and Josh Widdicombe.
Started in November 2014, the night has grown and grown, cultivating a mailing list and a devoted audience who regularly return to the gig. In fact, the night now sells a large portion of its tickets before the line up has even been announced, on the strength of its name alone. “We are basically the Glastonbury of comedy,” says Kath Hughes. In recent years, Suspiciously Cheap has gone around the country, setting up regular nights in Salford, Leicester, Cambridge and Edinburgh.
The tickets are still only £5, or £3 for concessions. “At these prices it’s less than the mortgage for your pint in London,” says Kiri Pritchard-McLean, the night’s double Chortle Award-winning MC. Kiri has appeared on multiple times on Have I Got News For You, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and her own Comedy Central special.
Also on the bill will be Tarot, the sketch supergroup formed by Suspiciously Cheap’s co-founders Gein’s Family Giftshop and Goose. Tarot was the fifth best-reviewed comedy show at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe (comedy.co.uk).
