The Lumberjacks – Stewart Francis, Craig Campbell and Glenn Wool

You can get three comedians for the price of one at countless comedy nights up and down this fair isle, but to see this standard of comedy within those confines is an incredibly rare thing. It’s been 16 years since the Canadian trio last toured together, and their distinctive styles of stand-up still create a show which really has something for everybody – Francis’ impeccable one-liners, Campbell’s warm, energetic ramblings, and Wool’s melting pot of anger and acerbic wit strangely complement each other well and ensure the show has a refreshing variety. As Francis said in the show’s introduction, if you don’t like any of them, it’s you… not them.
