HELMUT
'Germany's finest comedian'
Helmut was an instant hit, becoming a finalist in The Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competition, the Metro/Evening Standard Act of the year and C4's So You Think You're Funny, took Helmut to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2004 in his first full length show, Helmut's Half Hour.
'A ream of clever one-liners' Scotsman
'A towering comic intellect' Metro
'A gifted comic and writer.' Edinburgh guide
'Master of the two-liner. Extremely well-written jokes' Chortle
Helmut also performs for corporal functions and conferences. Using information supplied by the clients he offers a bespoke performance that is always guaranteed to split the British sides. Naturlich! Inefficiency, Britain's reluctance to join the EU, European policy gone mad are all grist to his Germanic mill. A hilarious act with dollops of silliness.
Mark Blake also appeared on channel 4 in August as part of their Offensive Comedy week.
WES ZAHARUK
This is definitely one of the zaniest shows on the market. If you like to laugh you won't want to miss this comic in action.
Early in his career Zaharuk’s fast paced razor wit and tornado-like approach to comedy caught on quickly. Soon he became one of the most requested comedian at clubs, colleges, and major corporations through North America.
Wes Zaharuk has performed around the world and his television experience takes him back to the days of SCTV and Bizarre. He appeared on America’s Funniest People and came in second one episode.
Wes was a feature of the documentary “Yellow Brick Road” which won a Genie.
Five appearances on Club 54 increased the audiences that have been lucky enough to have seen Wes and his eccentric collection of stupid prop tricks. Wes has brought his one-man tour de force around the world.
Cypress, Germany, Israel, and Australia are but a few of the countries Zaharuk draws audiences excited to see his crazy antics on stage. Audiences have come to expect the unexpected.
