Comedy Buoys nights in Thetford have become a hot ticket, and the next show brings a rare opportunity to see Marcus Brigstocke on your doorstep when he headlines The Carnegie on Friday 30 October.

A familiar face from Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News for You, QI and Mock the Week, Marcus is also a much-loved voice on BBC Radio 4, with appearances on The Now Show, Just a Minute and I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. His career spans stand-up, television, radio and theatre, with national tours taking his distinctive comedy across the country.

Sharp, mischievous and very funny, Marcus combines brilliantly delivered observations with gloriously exasperated takes on modern life. His comedy is clever, but the laughs come first. For audiences who know him from television and radio, this is a chance to experience him live in the close surroundings of The Carnegie.

He will be joined by Roger Monkhouse, Tom Toal and Jenny Hart, making this a full evening of stand-up with four distinctive performers on the same bill.

Paul Dunn, founder of Comedy Buoys, said:

“Our Thetford nights have become a hot ticket, and bringing Marcus Brigstocke to The Carnegie is another reason to get excited. He’s sharp, wonderfully funny and someone people have enjoyed watching and listening to for years.

“Seeing him live in Thetford is a rare treat. With Roger Monkhouse, Tom Toal and Jenny Hart joining him, we’ve got a cracking evening lined up. Get your friends together and make a night of it.”

Comedy Buoys continues to bring leading comedy names to venues across East Anglia, giving local audiences access to live stand-up without a trip to a major city.

Tickets are on sale now, and audiences are encouraged to book ahead for this special Thetford date.

It is with sadness, but understandable that the promoter dropped our venue from their national tour for Baga Chipz Mbe. Unfortunately we did not sell enough tickets to justify a show.
