» Red Brick Comedy – Zoe Lyons with Gerry Howell
Luke Toulson expertly compered this late night show which showcased two very different comedians. Gerry Howell, a relative newcomer, started us off with a surreal set which, though it contained some absolute gems of gags, was often a victim of Howell’s skewed, rambling delivery. If he can curb the over-hesitation he will be a vey exciting act indeed. Zoe Lyons, however, hit punchline after punchline in a crowd-pleasing set delivered with masterful verve and energy. Despite warning us that she was trying out new material her reservations were unfounded as there was barely a duff line. A tip-top night out.
