Off-beat, Comic Story-teller - The Impressively Moustachioed Mike Wozniak - Headlines Comic Boom
Published 17th Feb 2010 by Komedia

Fact: Comedy is the new rock n’ roll. Fact: We all like to say “I saw them before they were famous!” Fact: Comic Boom gives you the chance to see the acts you might not know… but need to know… before they hit the big time and go stellar! Featuring the rising stars of tomorrow’s comedy, Comic Boom presents the best breaking acts - those on the very threshold of stardom – alongside an established headlining comedian at Komedia on a monthly basis. With Brighton’s own legendary Seann Walsh as compère, described as "this generation's Dylan Moran" by Time Out and winner of Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards 2009, this fast-paced quality show is on Thursday 25 February and runs every last Thursday of the month.

Comic Boom is a unique concept and the brainchild of the UK’s leading comedy coach Jill Edwards, who has coached some of Britain's top comics over the last fourteen years, including Jimmy Carr and Shazia Mirza. The idea behind the night is to give breaking hot new comic talent from across the country a platform to perform in front of audiences they might not necessarily be able to achieve at smaller clubs on the new act comedy circuit. Each night also features an established headlining act alongside the less known acts – February sees Mike Wozniak take the headline slot.

Featuring a delightful mixture of intimate off-beat storytelling and fast-paced comedy, the impressively mustachioed Mike Wozniak rose from total obscurity to receive a prestigious if.comedy Best Newcomer nomination and triumphed over 500 aspiring comedians to win the Amused Moose Laugh Off 2008. A master of the absurd, Time Out has heralded him as “a real star in the making. This guy just could be the new comedy hero”, whilst The Independent claims Wozniak is "cleverly offbeat as well as occasionally off-beam".

COMIC BOOM visits Komedia Brighton on Thursday 25 February at 8pm. Tickets are £16.50 (meal deal) / £8.50 / £6.50 available on-line at www.komedia.co.uk/brighton or from the Box Office on 0845 293 8480.
