We are thrilled to welcome comedy royalty to St Albans in September, "In the premier league of comedy" (The Independent), it's ADAM BLOOM!!!

Adam is one of Britain's most inventive comedians. He has performed multiple sell-out solo shows since 1996 at the Edinburgh Festivals as well as completing sell-out tour's of Britain.

His popularity has also spanned the globe with sold out theatres at festivals in Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Wellington & Cape Town.

Adam has been a regular at the "Just For Laughs" festival in Montreal and has previously been invited to perform in the "Just For Laughs Comedy Tour" playing to 42,000 people in 17 cities across Canada.

You may also have heard him on BBC Radio 4's, "The Problem with Adam Bloom" which has enjoyed a three series.

"He's been one of my favourite stand-ups for about ten years. Bloom not only has meticulous, brilliant lines, but also an intense and fragile honesty"
Ricky Gervais

Opening Act: SPRING DAY

Spring Day is a New York stand-up comedian, writer and actor previously based in Tokyo, Japan and is currently ripping it up on the UK circuit. Her uniquely sharp, dark, bubbly and often brutal style of comedy is always a crowd pleaser you don't want to miss.

A fluent Japanese speaker and a mild cerebral palsy haver, Spring has been headlining at the Tokyo Comedy Store since 2002. She has also been performing all over the world since opening for Japanese comedian Zenjiro at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2004.

Voted Brooklyn's Best Comedian 2016, Spring has also been working as a comedy consultant on a pilot for the BBC due for broadcast later this year. She has written, produced, directed and performed five solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival since 2010. Spring has also performed at various clubs in London, Manchester, Dublin, Los Angeles, New York and Paris.

"Spring's gimlet-eyed perspective on life belies her Summer of Love name, but Tokyo's most prolific comic can't hide her underlying joy of life, even while recounting darker tales of love and loss in Tokyo."
Tokyo Comedy Store

★★★★ "Spring Day is such a likable and friendly character with an incredibly infectious smile that draws the audience into her performance and wickedly delivered punch lines which have them falling over themselves with laughter"
Broadway Baby

Also Performing:

WILL DUGGAN

Will Duggan has been performing comedy since 2009 and since then has cemented himself as a dynamic and interesting performer in comedy clubs around the country. Will mixes stories and gags with a cheerfully cynical view of the world.
