A no holds barred hour of top-quality gags, tales and anecdotes from the Essex Riviera with the legendary Life Coach, Philosopher and Comedian, Paul Merryck. Or put simply, Lies, Alibis and Filthy Stories (AKA Beer and Self-Loathing in Bas Vegas). “The Essex bloke is something of a geezer …plenty of showbiz patter…. his set proves very effective…. gag-focussed delivery…. high laugh rate…. you’d think that the spirit of Mike Reid is alive and well” Steve Bennett – Chortle July 2018
Paul seemed a bit rusty after the pandemic layoff but he was a very engaging personality, not fazed at all by the small turnout. Good idea having a guest comic for 10 mins mid-set. I enjoy seeing how different comics operate. Paul seemed to enjoy himself, so did we.
