Description
Character Assassination returns with another line-up of people pretending to be other people - some of the best and most original character and sketch comedians on the London scene.
This months line-up:
PAJAMA MEN
Shenoah Allen and Mark Chavez are a world-renowned double act known for their unique style of narrative-sketch comedy that incorporates elements of stand-up, sketch, improv, and both outlandish and familiar characters, all of which are narrowly contained by intricately woven story threads that tend towards the surreal and the macabre. The irreplaceable Mr. Kevin Hume usually compliments their shows with musical accompaniment.
“The Pajama Men create a cartoon of the mind – a shape-shifting world in which anything seems not just possible, but imminent.” ★★★★★ - The Guardian
"I was doubled over in a kind of hysterical agony. I felt as if my lungs had migrated into my throat and that my anatomy would soon be inside out.” - Washington Post
“Every now and again — though all too rarely — a comedy show comes along that casts things in a new light...this American duo ultimately possesses a marvellously unique appeal.” ★★★★★ - Evening Standard
'One of the most dazzling displays of comedy theatre I’ve ever seen. It's weird. And it's wonderful.' ★★★★★ - The Times, London
"Whip-smart and able to turn on the thinnest of dimes, Allen and Chavez are improvisers' improvisers. Actors' actors. Comedians' comedians." - Chicago Tribune
"Did you miss the Pajama Men? Then you f**ked up"
★★★★★ Timeout, Sydney
PIPPA EVANS
Pippa first made a splash on the comedy scene with an incredibly successful Edinburgh Fringe Festival where her debut solo show, Pippa Evans and Other Lonely People, was nominated for the if.comedy Best Newcomer Award 2008. The Scotsman praised her “searing talent as a comic writer, actor and versatile singer” and The Independent cited Pippa as “probably one of the most talented performers at Edinburgh this year.”
In 2009 Pippa returned to Edinburgh with Pippa Evans: Your Evening’s Entertainment! and more recently with Loretta Maine: I’m Not Drunk I Just Need To Talk To You in which she unleashed her alter-ego Loretta Maine, a sexy and psychotic American country and western singer-songwriter for a full show of her own. Backed by her band and with an arsenal of hilarious yet catchy songs audiences were once again captivated by Pippa’s perfectly realised character comedy. She returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2012 with a whole new hour of Loretta entitled Loretta Maine: Bi-Polar.
As seen on Fast and Loose, Live at the Electric, The Morgana Show, The Slammer and The Wrong Door. Also an experienced radio performer, Pippa has appeared on The Now Show, Arthur Smith’s Balham Bash, Bigipedia, Les Kelly’s Britain - all for Radio 4 and is a regular cast member of NewsJack for Radio 4 Extra Alongside Sanderson Jones, Pippa is also the co-founder of the hugely successful global atheist church The SundayAssembly.
Pippa is also one of the UK’s best improvisers and part of the critically acclaimed smash-hit Showstopper! The Improvised Musical.
