MET Comedy Line Up Saturday 24th May

We've just had the suggested line up through for Comedy In The MET on Saturday night!

Joe Lycett

Having added a Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nomination at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe to his Best Newcomer award at the 2010 Chortle Awards, it's no secret that Joe is a hugely talented comedian with an effortless stage presence.

Joe's recent television appearances include ITV2's Celebrity Juice, BBC3's Sweat the Small Stuff, BBC2's Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Kevin McCarthy

Kevin's career to date has covered the full gambit of the comedy world, indeed the world at large, working in such far flung places as South America, North America, the Caribbean, Europe, The Middle East, even Afghanistan, entertaining audiences from 10 to 45,000.

He not only performs on but also writes for television, having been involved recently in writing "The Sketch Show", the BAFTA award winning ITV comedy, and has appeared on many television productions as a comedian and a straight actor. He also is a popular warm-up act for shows such as "The Lottery" and "Later With Jools Holland".

Penella Mellor

Stand up comedian Penella Mellor is one new comer who is destined for stardom. Following in the footsteps of Sarah Milliacan, Jack Whitehall and Jimmy Carr, Penella beat off stiff competition to appear in this year's Amused Moose Laugh Off final.


Tickets for Saturday night are sold out but you can book in for February's show here.

Please note this line up may be subject to change.

We recommend an age guidance of 16+ for comedy in the MET shows.

Spot the Slipper - Greetings from the Mouse

Oh! You shouldn't sneak up on a poor little mouse like that! It's a good job I wasn't getting up to mischief... for once!

I was just trying to sniff out any scraps of cheese around this place; cheddar, red Leicester, anything will do!  Although I have to admit, I've acquired an unusual taste for pumpkin recently. I think it began when I spent two days inside one, hiding from Cinderella's dreadful step sisters.

Anyway, you'll never guess what mischief I've been getting up to recently. I've only hidden Cinderella's precious silver slipper somewhere in Stafford. She is going to be so annoyed when she realises what I've done!

I'm so confident that you'll never guess where I've hidden Cinderella's slipper, that I'll give up my family ticket to the last night of this year's rock 'n' roll panto if you do. Let's hope you're an intelligent bunch, because you have to guess correctly to be in with a chance of winning my tickets. When I hid the slipper, I snapped this photo of it, just in case I forgot where I put it.

 

To make things interesting, I'll give you a clue as to where I've hidden the slipper. This watering hole shares its name with the most elegant bird of them all... Many of you will have spent your Christmas Eve here, or even seen in the new year with a tipple or two!

Comment below by to submit your answer for your chance to win a family ticket to see Cinderella on Saturday 10th January at 7pm. The winner will be picked at midday on Friday 9th January.

After the winner is announced they must contact our press and marketing officer, Emma Hogan, by e-mail on ehogan@staffordbc.gov.uk for further details on claiming their prize.
