PRESS RELEASE
Comedy Store Management Proudly Presents



 
STILL ON THE ROADSHOW
     
  Two of the UK’s most sought-after stand-ups have teamed up to present a unique double-headline show. Skilled veterans of the stand-up circuit, Mike Gunn and Sean Collins have joined forces to provide an unmissable and uproarious night of comedy.

Following their performances on BBC One’s Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, these esteemed performers are taking to the road to wow audiences across the UK with killer punchlines and distinctive powerhouse routines. Still On The Roadshow features extended solo sets from two of the most talented headliners around and culminates with an improvised double-act in which they pitch their comedy talents head-to-head in a dynamic grand finale.

Between them, they have accumulated decades of experience on the live comedy circuit. They have written and performed five acclaimed shows for the Edinburgh Comedy Festival and performed across the globe wowing audiences as far and wide as Montreal, Melbourne, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and the Falklands (and most places in between). As well as stellar performances on Michael MacIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, they have also both performed on The World Stands-Up and The Comedy Store for Comedy Central. Here they prove exactly why they’ve earned the reputation as two of the UK’s leading comedy performers.

Mike Gunn’s road to success was initially rocky; a misspent youth and a heroin addiction spanning fifteen years, followed by a stint in a psychiatric unit. Thankfully that’s all behind him, and he’s been a successful and sought-after stand-up comedian for over fifteen years. Sean’s ascent has been rather more conventional; born and raised in Canada, where he scooped two nominations for the Canadian Comedy Award, he moved to the UK to further his stand-up dream. Co-incidentally Sean has spent time as a counsellor in a psychiatric ward. A shared history in mental health institutions is perhaps what led them each to a career in stand-up comedy.

A formidable duo, catering for all tastes. Mike’s trademark laconic and lugubrious dark humour is complemented perfectly by Sean’s charismatic story-telling and warm conversational style. Catch this powerhouse duo on the Still On The Roadshow tour. A rare chance to see two top-billing circuit stars sharing the same bill. Simply put, it’s a guarantee of first-class laughs, served up by two of the best in the business.
