Our Comedy Club is back, showcasing the best in Jewish Comedy!
We’re bringing you Jewish and Jew-ish comics, from rising stars to names you'll recognise, and not just from sitting next to them at your niece's Bat Mitzvah! Be aware, you might hear one or two words that your Bubbe only said in Yiddish, hoping you wouldn't understand...
Featuring Adam Bloom, Alex Kitson, Nicole Harris and Mike Capozzola, compered by the wonderful Rachel Creeger.
Adam Bloom
From the moment he set foot on the circuit over 18 years ago, headliner ADAM BLOOM stunned the industry with his rapid rise. This included producing countless sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival, breaking box office records at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival for a first visit and performing a sell-out UK tour, all within his first five years. His originality and speed of thought have also resulted in him being hired to write for numerous TV & radio shows – including three series of ‘The Problem with Adam Bloom’ for BBC Radio 4.
Adam‘s own television special ‘Adam Bloom Beyond a Joke’ was televised as part of Ch4's Comedy Lab series. He recorded another series as one of the team captains on the successful comedy quiz ‘Bring Me The Head Of Light Entertainment’ on Ch5, and appeared as a roving stand up for SKY TV's Apocalypse Tube.
Other TV credits include The Young Person’s Guide to Becoming a Rock Star (Channel 4), Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC2), Mock The Week (BBC2), The Stand-up Show (BBC2), Edinburgh Nights (BBC2), Head on Comedy (BBC1), Comedy Lab (Channel 4), Comedy World Tour (Comedy Central), The World Stands Up (Comedy Central). Adam’s book “Finding Your Comic Genius: An in-depth guide to the art of stand-up comedy” is widely considered to be the best practical guide to understanding how to create that art form.
