The Baby Blue Banana presents its regular stand-up comedy night in English on Wednesday, with its most international line-up yet.
Gordon Southern, Taylor Glenn and Red Redmond
8pm, Wednesday 22 June, Kafé Scherz, Partizánska 2, Bratislava 1
Gordon Southern is one of the most sought after comedians on the UK and international circuit and we are delighted to have secured him for a show in Bratislava. Regularly playing to sell out audiences at the most prestigious clubs in the UK including Comedy Store and Jongleurs, his upbeat and energetic delivery combined with his fantastically funny observational comedy and quick-witted improvisation has secured his place as an audience favourite.
Opening the show will be award-winning American comedienne Taylor Glenn. Taylor first took to the comedy stage seven years ago in New York, where it quickly became clear that she is a natural at both stand-up comedy and improvisation, with a self-deprecating style ideally suited to European audiences.
Also performing will be the fresh new talent of Red Redmond, recent winner of the prestigious Student Comedian of the Year award.
MC for the evening will be popular local comedian Milan Sedliak.
