Big Comedy launch their weekly live comedy nights at MJ’s in Formby on Thursday (April 9).

The first comedians performing at MJ’s Live will be Sean Percival and Chris Cairns, with the evening compered by Formby comedian and MC Brendan Riley.

All tickets are just £5 each. Doors open at 7pm, with the show starting at 8pm.

Sean Percival

Sean Percival’s brand of comedy steers clear of the surreal and confronts realism in an explosively funny way.

A festival favourite, he has performed at the Edinburgh, Download, Reading, Leeds and Sonisphere festivals and as an established headliner he plays regularly at all major comedy clubs around the UK.

In demand as a script writer, Sean works regularly with likes of Johnny Vaughan for the Capital Radio group.

He spent two years writing and performing on Capital FM’s drive-time radio show in Birmingham and for Heart FM in Birmingham, and provided the voice for “Black Country Bob” on both those shows fronted by Talk Radio’s host and impressionist Ian Danter.

“Sean’s comedy is the comedy of honesty. His act is the working man’s revenge on the safe, middle-class, politically correct humour that has dominated comedy. Sean’s humour is not surreal, it’s not wacky, it’s just bloody funny. This is not smile humour, this is bust your gut rubber underpants stuff” Joan Serone Bungalow, What’s On

“…the big gold star of the show must be the long-haired man from Dudley. He came. He spoke. He had us curled up begging for more…Sean Percival was the best heckler worrier I’ve seen for years…” Evening Mail TV

Chris Cairns

The smiling assassin, Chris Cairns is a fearless, rock solid headliner and one of the most admired comperes on the comedy circuit.

A friend to audiences but deadly foe to anyone thinking of chipping in with a heckle, Chris is adored for his charm, joyfully near-the-knuckle jokes, and nanosecond response time.

Always renowned as being a safe pair of hands for any occasion, Chris has grown into a comedian hugely admired by audiences and peers both in his native Liverpool and around the country. His spontaneity and natural enthusiasm have charmed even the most difficult of rooms, and there’s plenty of muscle in his magnificent material to pack a punch on the biggest of stages.

Having done pantomime with John Bishop and enjoyed successful tours of Dubai, Spain and Holland, Chris is now a heavyweight contender to be reckoned with.
