The Comedy Store : Raw and Uncut - in cinemas February 2013

The first instalment will be launched in cinemas on 22 February with the remaining three shows following in fortnightly intervals.



It’s fresh, new and hilarious and will showcase 16 of the funniest names on the thriving British comedy circuit. On the bill will be New Zealand comedian and Chortle Comedy Award winner Jarred Christmas, the comedian The Evening Standard described as “absolutely boxfresh” Tom Stade, Comedy Store favourite Ian Stone, rapper turned comedian Doc Brown - who supported Ricky Gervais on his 2012 European tour - and Foster’s Edinburgh comedy awards Best Newcomer nominee Imran Yusuf. For the full line-up please see below.

The Comedy Store is a comedy club located in London, Manchester and Mumbai. The London venue opened in 1979 by Don Ward, and was inspired by The Comedy Store club in the United States, which Don Ward had visited the previous year. The club was the focus of the "alternative comedy" boom in the early 1980s and helped start the careers of many comedians, including Paul Merton French & Saunders, Alexei Sayle, Craig Ferguson, Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Ben Elton and Simon Pegg.
