Charity Chuckle Stand-Up for Local Charity in association with Brighton Digital Festival 2013
News provided by test on Thursday 5th Sep 2013
Featuring Multimedia Stand-Up Comedy from:
David Trent, Nathan Penlington, Joseph Morpurgo, Phil Lucas, compere Michael Fabbri and animation from Laurie Rowan.
Having raised nearly £10,000 for the local community, Brighton’s longest-running comedy fundraiser is moving to a monthly night at the award-winning comedy venue, the Brighton Komedia. Charity Chuckle's first show on Tuesday 10th September will also be the first ever stand-up comedy event in association with the Brighton Digital Festival.
September's comedians come from a digital perspective, featuring the hilarious video mash-ups of Edinburgh Best Show nominee, David Trent, and a cracking 20 minute set from Nathan Penlington, who recently won a The Scotsman's Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Festival for his show Choose Your Own Documentary based on the Choose Your Own Adventure books.
Proceeds will go to Brighton & Hove Community Radio, a digital radio station run entirely by volunteers that aims to give an alternative voice to the local area.
Tickets are available from the Komedia Box Office or online from We Got Tickets.

About the acts:
David Trent has both offended and delighted audiences with his searing blend of live rage and mashed-up video content. In 2012, he won a Best Show nomination at the Edinburgh Fringe for his debut show, Spontaneous Comedian.
Nathan Penlington is a documentary maker, author, stand-up, magician and darts connoisseur. Promoters Jim Holland and Kerry Herbert first saw him at the Bloomsbury Theatre with Daniel Kitson and Stewart Lee and have been enchanted by his witty storytelling and bookish ways ever since. His show Choose Your Own Documentary has garnered rave reviews from the Edinburgh Festival and London’s Southbank Centre, culminating in a prestigious Fringe First Award for new writing.
Joseph Morpurgo, member of the hit improvisation show Austentatious, received 4 star reviews for his first Edinburgh show Truthmouth this year. Picked by Londonisfunny.com as a Top 10 One to Watch, this may be his year.
Phil Lucas is a stand-up and poet who is best known in Brighton for his fake planning notices. Posted around town were bizarre and brilliant Council Planning Applications, such as, permission to cover the Brighton Pavilion with bakelite, and to replace the Queen Victoria statue in Grand Avenue with a statue of a pregnant Adele. He is currently on ebay auctioning his picture of Harry Styles - Lovely Lips.
Michael Fabbri, nominated Chortle’s Club Comedian of 2012, is to compere the night. Currently in Edinburgh in his show Buffering, he has been the warm up for Micky Flanagan on his Out Out tour.
