Thursday 6th November – Asylum is launching a new night of comedy, featuring some of the best comedians currently on the scene.
Featuring Tom Lawrinson, Jed Salisbury & Vix Leyton, tickets are available now.
TOM LAWRINSON
Over 130million views online – Tom was the runner-up on BBC’s New Comedy Awards in 2022 along with the runner up for NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy for Best Show
‘He instantly has everyone in stitches as he strides the stage switching from manic to poised in a heartbeat, keeping everyone on their toes.’ – Edinburgh Festival Magazine
‘He has an eye for the mundanely absurd which is truly unique, with an execution that is joyfully daft.’ – Rolling Stone
‘Effortlessly Engaging’ – Jay Richardson for Chortle
Tom Little is an award-winning comedian. In 2015 he won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (an award also won by acts such as Johnny Vegas, Jason Manford, Rhod Gilbert and Romesh Ranganathan) which he never stops banging on about. He was also a BBC Radio New Comedy Award finalist and his 2018 Edinburgh show was nominated for the Amused Moose Comedy Award. He plays the well-read fool, taking on hugely diverse facts, but refusing to deal with them conventionally, with a unique turn of phrase.
‘Inventive, unexpected and often very silly…. He surely can’t remain a hidden treasure for long.’ **** – Chortle
‘His elevation to TV panel show favourite is surely only a matter of time.’ **** – The Wee Review
‘The real deal. An instinctive comedian with oodles of charm and a quirky, frenetic intensity…. If he cuts his energy levels by 10% he could end up in movies.’ – The Spectator
‘A huge talent.’ – The Scotsman
JED SALISBURY
A high-energy, jolly young man with a warming charm and an innate sense of funny. He has taken mischievous crudeness and belly-laughing cheekiness and mixed them with modern edginess to create a truly unique act
