National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest (12A)

The Importance of being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
directed by Max Webster

Three-time Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke is joined by Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who; Sex Education) in this joyful reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy.

While assuming the role of a dutiful guardian in the country, Jack lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy adopts a similar facade. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.

Max Webster (Life of Pi) directs this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance, filmed live from the National Theatre in London.

Marina Comedy Club – October 2024

** Update – 24.10.2024 – Unfortunately due to medical reasons, Shappi Khorsandi has had to pull out of this weekend’s Marina Comedy Club. We wish her well and hope to see her at a future event. **

With Laura Lexx, Josh James, Joe Foster and hosted by Jason Stampe!

Regional comedian, author and actor Laura Lexx is vivacious, impassioned, intelligent and one of the best MCs/Headliners on the comedy scene. Born and bred in the home county of Somerset, Laura’s comfy demeanour, warmth and energy delightfully juxtapose her biting wit, sharp tongue and brutal audience take downs, which just can’t stop going viral.

Following her Live at The Apollo (BBC) debut Laura received an unprecedented reaction both from the live crowd and audiences at home, which lead to her appearing in shows such as Mock The Week (BBC), Hypothetical (Dave) and Celebrity Mastermind (BBC) to name a few. 

Having reached the lofty heights at the top of the live comedy club circuit, headlining at clubs around the UK and Europe, Laura also boasts a series of highly-polished and critically acclaimed stand up shows on ITVX, is the published author of Klopp Actually and Pivot her debut novel, and is an in-demand writer on shows such as Have I got News For You (BBC), The Now Show (BBC R4) and The Really REALLY Rude Puppet Show (Dave). 

Laura is the creator of multiple podcast formats, her current being Lexx Education where, taught by her scientist younger brother, Laura tries to get her head around the GCSE science syllabus with hilarious results! 

With unrivalled tenacity, intelligence and an infectiously vibrant attitude to life, Laura Lexx is the name on everyone’s lips.

In 2024, Laura Lexx announced her debut national tour SLINKY.

Opening the show is Josh James! Josh James is one of the UK stand-up circuit’s best up and coming club comedians. His killer punchlines about modern life and his easy-going audience interactions have meant he has previously been voted Essex Comedian of the Year. Though you won’t just catch him on stage, Josh’s online sketches have gone viral several times – digesting Football culture, relatable characters and the big news stories through this Essex chap’s view of the world. 

 

With Brighton comic Joe Foster! His dry wit and likeable persona established him as a firm favourite with audiences and promoters alike. In 2015 Joe won the Fosters South Coast Comedian Of The Year Competition which cemented his reputation as one of the fresh new voices on the UK comedy circuit.

 

Hosted by the very funny Jason Stampe!

Marina Comedy Club – November 2024

**Update 06.11.2024 Jack Skipper has been replaced with Marlon Davies**

With Marlon Davies, Radu Isac, Richard Spalding and hosted by Stephen DiPlacito!

 

Marlon Davis is a talented comedian, improviser and actor whose TV appearances include Live at the Apollo, Live From The Comedy Store, Stand Up Central, The Stand Up Sketch Show and Don’t Hate The Players.

Marlon made the final of two national competitions Laughing Horse New Act of the Year and So You Think You’re Funny? at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe the following year, very quickly and firmly cementing his status as a rising star on the comedy circuit.

 

Marlon has supported Kevin Bridges, Michael McIntyre and Alan Carr on tour and is performing at clubs, arts centres and theatres all over the UK. Marlon’s act is inspired from his upbringing, exploring urban Britain and tackling its social issues with skillful characterisations.

Opening the show is Radu Isac! Radu was a professional stand up comedian in his former home of Romania and was known as Romania’s “comedians’ comedian”. Shortly after moving to London, he was a finalist in the English Comedian of the Year competition. He’s made a name for himself as the king of the misanthropes, setting out his bleak world view one gag at a time. His sugar-coated depravity forces laughs out of those who should really know better – venomous but twinkly, like a snake dipped in glitter. His stand up has featured on multiple BBC and Comedy Central programs such as Stand Up Express (Comedy Central), What Makes The World Laugh (BBC World Service), Fresh From the Fringe (BBC Radio 4) and The Arts Hour (BBC World Service).

 

With Richard Spalding! Rich is an award winning, mild mannered and polite (or so he says) comedian from the Midlands. His immaculately crafted material and impeccable comedy timing ensures very well delivered jokes. Richard is one of the best acts breaking onto the circuit currently. 

 

Hosted by Stephen DiPlacito!
