Our first shows this year (8th and 9th June 2007) will be at a stunning venue in Windsor. We will be performing Henry V for communications experts ComXo. The venue in Windsor is perfect for open air Shakespeare and ComXo invites select clients and key personnel for a special corporate evening. There will also be a public performance in aid of charity. Last year we performed one night of Romeo & Juliet for ComXo and so it is a great honour to be invited to return for two nights this year. Please keep visiting the site for further details as we have them.

We are thrilled to announce the line up for week one of Comedy in the Park at Leeds, will be an evening of improvised comedy with Stephen Frost, Josie Lawrence, Andy Smart, Richard Vranch and Lee Simpson.

Stephen Frost is a well know TV face (above left), having appeared on Bremner Bird and Fortune, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, French and Saunders, Mr Bean, The Young Ones, and many other shows. Josie Lawrence has appeared in numerous theatre productions including The King and I, Pygmalion, Moll Flanders, Picasso’s Women and had many television appearances including seven series of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Fat Friends and her own series Josie.

Andy Smart is probably the best and most recognisable compere on the British stand up circuit. He has been part of the infamous ‘Comedy Store Players’ since 1984 and has compered the Glastonbury Festival Cabaret tent every year since then too. Andy is also part of Paul Merton’s Impro Chums and Steve Frost’s Impro All Stars that regularly tours around the world. This is Andy’s second appearance at Comedy in the Park. Lee Simpson is a regular with the Comedy Store Players and has appeared in Drop The Dead Donkey, Terry and Julian, Nuns On The Run, Family Money, Blackeyes and can be heard on Radio 4’s Just A Minute, and Quote Unquote. Richard Vranch (far right) does voiceovers, impro, acting, scriptwriting, panel shows, animation, presenting and cartoons. Richard appears on Radio 4’s Just A Minute with Paul Merton and appears at the Comedy Store Players twice a week.
