Torquay Comedy Club is thrilled to unveil its upcoming Grand Show, headlined by the iconic comedian Russell Howard. Scheduled for Sunday, August 25, 2024, this event promises an unforgettable evening of laughter and entertainment for all.
At the heart of this announcement lies a captivating tale of determination and unconventional methods. Six years ago, Torquay Comedy Club’s founder, Ben Milden, embarked on a mission to bring top-tier comedy talent to the stage. His journey took a remarkable turn when he seized an opportunity to connect with Russell Howard during a spontaneous phone call to the Radio One Breakfast Show.
During the segment, where listeners could speak to various celebrities, Milden boldly pitched his vision for a Torquay Comedy Club Grand Show to Russell Howard. Although the initial conversation didn’t lead to an immediate agreement, Milden’s persistence and innovative approach eventually paved the way for Russell Howard’s involvement in the Grand Show happening later this year.
Since that pivotal phone call six years ago, Torquay Comedy Club has flourished and established itself as one of the premier comedy destinations in the Southwest. Featuring acts such as Sean Lock, Jason Manford, Frankie Boyle, and now Russell Howard, the club has consistently delivered exceptional comedy experiences to its growing audience.
Now, after six years of dedication and hard work, Torquay Comedy Club proudly announces Russell Howard’s participation in their most anticipated event to date. Russell Howard, celebrated for his razor-sharp wit and infectious humour, will headline the Grand Show, promising an evening of laughter and camaraderie unlike any other.
Pre-sale sign-ups for the Grand Show are now open, inviting comedy enthusiasts to secure their seats for this historic occasion. To reserve your spot and be part of this extraordinary event, visit www.torquaycomedyclub.co.uk/grandshow.
