Bobby Davro – Everything Is Funny If You Can Laugh At It

Following a series of sell-out shows at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, last summer, comedy legend Bobby Davro hits the road for his first tour in over a decade.

Everything Is Funny If You Can Laugh At It is a masterclass in stand-up from one of Britain’s best loved comedians at the top of his game

“…a polished performance of predictably old-fashioned but expertly delivered gags.” – The List

..if more modern comedians had a fraction of his showmanship, the circuit would be a jollier place …spot on delivery… bulletproof professionalism” Chortle

Bobby Davro says: “With the laughter still ringing in my ears from the month of Edinburgh gigs, I thought I’d take the show on the road and catch up with my fans around the country. I hope to prove two things – You’re never too old for a good gag and everything is funny if you can laugh at it. So if you like to laugh, come along – and don’t forget, if you’re on the frontline, you’re in the punchline!

Over the past four decades, Bobby Davro has appeared on a huge variety of television shows, his popularity was at its highest during the mid-1980s with his own Saturday night ITV shows, Bobby Davro on the Box, Bobby Davro’s TV Annual and Bobby Davro’s TV Weekly.

He also made appearances on the popular comedy impressions sketch show Copy Cats. He then went on to play Vinnie Monks in BBC’s EastEnders in 2007 and has appeared on a host of reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing On Ice and Celebrity Come Dine With Me.

He has headlined for over fifteen years in pantomime across the country and his live stand-up shows are legendary!

It’s time for Fluff to do the ultimate puzzle… her life.

But Fluff hates puzzles; especially word searches. She can never find the words and doesn’t understand why there’s a half eaten birthday cake and a woman who keeps visiting her room. As she navigates her way through her most treasured and darkest memories, Fluff desperately needs to piece together her life; story by story, person by person. This darkly comedic play explores memories and the choices we make in life.

The non-linear plot line allows the audience to feel, first hand, the devastating affects of dementia, through joining Fluff in her journey to uncover her life’s memories.

Teepee Productions was founded by co-writers James Piercy and Tayla Kenyon, who met online during a writing course. The two enjoyed each other’s writing and decided to work together, thus, there first creation ‘FLUFF’ was born.

They love to produce character driven work with witty, truthful dialogue, relatable to a range of audiences, asking them to reflect on the world we live in.

Silent Men

Released to help mark International Men’s Day the previous day (Nov 19) and partnered with the UK men’s mental health charity Andy’s Man Club.

Why do so many men struggle to show their feelings?

Part therapy, part road trip, BAFTA award winning filmmaker Duncan Cowles asks men how they open up in order to directly address his own difficulties in being intimate and open with his loved ones.

With profound honesty and deadpan wit, SILENT MEN intertwines awkward conversations and the filmmaking process, asking what makes men tick, and more importantly, how to come to terms with all aspects of health, both physical and mental.

Exploring aspects of masculinity that all too often are little discussed, this film opens the door for other ways of being, communicating and healing, as well as attempting to define masculinity.
