A split-bill work-in-progress comedy show from Zoe Cousin, Clementine Bogg-Hargroves & Brenda | Tuesday 17th November | 7:30pm

TEST DRIVE is a brand-new comedy festival for brand-new jokes.

13 of the best comedians from the North West circuit and beyond are joining forces to present split-bill work-in-progress shows every night between the 17th-20th November.

Amongst our comics are award winners and nominees, television stars, regional regulars and character acts - it's a real who's who!

Tuesday 17th November:

Zoe Cousin - BBC New Comedy Awards Regional Finalist, So You Think You're Funny? Semi-Finalist

Clementine Bogg-Hargroves - ★★★★ (The Scotsman), ‘Winning humour and infectious irreverence’ ★★★★ (TheStage)

Brenda/Rose Gray - Having appeared on Channel 4 Comedy & CBBC, ‘Rose is hilarious and if she’s unavailable you can book her alter ego, Brenda. Double funny!’ (Rachel Fairburn)

With jokes straight out of our acts' notebooks and noggins, there'll be plenty of laughs, perhaps the occasional tumbleweed and the chance to discover emerging talent on the Manchester comedy scene. Who knows, you could be privy to the next 'Garlic Bread'...

Held inside the Red Arch Bookshop (11 Red Bank, M4 4HF), the festival will adopt a relaxed, cosy, fringe-like vibe where comedians can play, experiment & most importantly, entertain you for the evening.

Doors 7pm | Show 7:30pm | Red Arch open from 4pm for Happy Hour!
