February 2006 is British Comedy Month in Athens!

The most popular form of live entertainment in British comedy clubs is stand-up comedy and the British Council and the Comedy Club in Athens are delighted to present three leading British comics, directly from the stand-up comedy scene.

Each comic presents his or her own hilarious, provocative and unconventional approach to British humour:

			Craig Hill Craig is Scotland’s brightest comedy star. 3 & 4 February 2006, 10 p.m.
			Owen O’Neill Owen provides the Irish take. 9 & 10 February 2006, 10 p.m.
			Lucy Porter Lucy has performed at venues all over the UK including some of London’s most prestigious clubs. 16 & 17 February 2006, 10 p.m.

In addition to the performances, the British comics will take part in a series of interactive workshops with the Athens Comedy Club team and a limited number of Greek comics.

Mike Bolland (former Head of Comedy and Entertainment BBC Scotland) joins actor Ieroclis Michailides and Lucia Rikaki on the stage of the Comedy Club in an open discussion on the subject of Does Humour travel? 21 February 2006, 8.30 p.m.
