ON THE FUNNY SIDE

On The Funny Side is BACK! OTFS is the UnderHand stand up night which ran fortnightly for three seasons set in the gloriously intimate and relaxed surroundings of Bar 242. As the the summer really begins to hot up, we're taking OTFS to the Streatham Festival. It's a return visit for us, and frankly we can't wait. We've got an awesome line up in store for you, and it's a cracking venue. What more could you ask?

MC Matt Holt Resident MC Matt has been running this show since its inception way back in December 2002. He is a rare MC who cares more about audience and atmosphere than simply churning through set material. Genial, fearless and lightning quick: the perfect host. 'The cream of chortle-worthy talent, very funny, a top laugh' Loaded

Autumn Fringe Report review (11th September 2003)

You can also check out all the amazing acts that we had at previous On The Funny Side nights in our archive.

	Rob Deering Breakout star of Channel 5's "99 Things To Do Before You're Thirty", this genial silly-man bypasses angst and introspection and cuts straight to the laugh. One of the few guitar-wielding comedians whose music is as funny as his gags, Deering is a wonderfully warm entertainer you just can’t help liking. Joyous. "Sterling stand-up from one of the circuit's rising stars. A safe place to bet your comedy dollar" The Sunday Times
	Tom Price Tom is a phenomenally talented comic and has achieved tremendous acclaim, including a coveted Scotsman Fringe First Award, for his stunning depiction of John Cleese in the Graham Chapman biopic "A Very Naughty Boy." His charming and inventive banter has also taken him to the finals of almost every comedy competition in the land. "Crowd-pleasing but with enough twists to satisfy the more discerning comedy connoisseur" Chortle
	Matt Kirshen Won the coveted Hackney Empire New Act Competition in 2003 and has become a man much in demand around the country. He's an intelligent and skilful stand-up with material goes and bites you like a hungry adder. "Winning material ...Kirshen certainly shone through" Evening Standard
	Sven Stacey The sleaziest agent in show business, Sven is the grubby creation of versatile character performer, Gareth Tunley. Half of infamous double act Legendary Polowski, and star of "Ealing Live!", Gareth is simply one of the best character comedians around. "Super-efficient, adrenaline-filled, the pace is dizzying and the humour is deliciously off-the-wall" The Stage
