LAUGH Out Loud (LOL) Comedy Club returns to Bournemouth Pavilion Ballroom tonight (Friday May 13) for its next hilarious instalment.

The show will bring the best in live stand-up to Bournemouth each month until the end of the year. Every show comprises a different line up of four top professional comedians.

It will feature comedians off the telly from such shows as BBC2's Mock The Week, Channel 4's 8 Out of 10 Cats, BBC1's Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Have I Got News For You, Dave and Paramount's Live at The Comedy Store etc. Plus the best of the rest from all over the world.

Previously they have booked the likes of Jason Manford, John Bishop and Sarah Millican before they hit the big time.

Tonight's four acts include Andy Robinson who is widely regarded as one of the country’s top headline comedy acts. As a result he is a regular warm up artist for lots of popular television shows including Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Shooting Stars, Later with Jools Holland and The Jonathan Ross Show. He's also been tour support for Sean Lock, Rich Hall, Paddy McGuiness and Jo Brand. Andy's been in the business for well over 20 years and began his meteoric trajectory into the glitzy world of show business from a pub in Dudley where he sharpened his trade compering a 'free and easy' night every fortnight. The discipline of cracking funnies between bare-knuckle boxing and dogfights was an invaluable experience.

The evening, as ever, is compered by comedian Damion Larkin, a former stockbroker who quit his lucrative professional job in August 2004 to live the dream and has never looked back. He went full time in 2005 and is now learning the meaning of the phrase ‘there’s more to life than money’.

Damion was a regular financial commentator on Bloomberg TV as well as BBC2’s Working Lunch, Radio 4’s ‘Today Programme’, and Radio 5 ‘Wake Up to Money’. He’s appeared on virtually every local radio station in the country and in every national newspaper. At the same time he ran three departments and generally ended up exhausted. He gave it all up to be a comedian, a versatile and creative one at that who always leaves audiences wanting more.

Damion runs The LOL Comedy Club which will be making monthly visits to the Pavilion Ballroom.
