Laughing Bishops Comedy Club features Paul F Taylor, John Newton, Michelle Shaughnessy and Paddy Lennox

If you're looking for quirky one-liners, a traditional gag-teller or a comedy force to be reckoned with, get down to Laughing Bishops Comedy Club this Saturday (October 15).

Club compere and resident compere Paddy Lennox will be introducing Paul F Taylor, John Newton and Michelle Shaughnessy to the stage at the United Reformed Church Hall in Water Lane, Bishop's Stortford.

Taylor is billed as having a unique brand of humour, fusing quirky, offbeat one-liners with surreal and observational flights of fantasy to fantastical effect.

A gag teller in the traditional mode, Newton is described by The Comedy Pad as being a slick and professional craftsman, fast of mind and sharp of tongue.

Canadian Michelle Shaughnessy is a force to be reckoned with, "mining every part of her life for funny" and continually "coming up with comedy gold".

Doors open at 7.30pm. You are advised to arrive by 8pm to pick the best seats, with the show starting at 8.30pm.

There is a bar and food is available from pop-up Asian food stall Café Malay. For tickets costing £17 (or £15 with the discount code LAUGHTER) see https://www.jokepit.com/comedy-in/harlow/laughing-bishops-comedy-club-with-paddy-lennox-john/5995.
