Gilded Balloon Comedy Circuit presents Allen, Grant, & McCaffrey

Add your review

The Gilded Balloon has become synonymous with comedy in Scotland having played host to unnumerable rising stars in the Edinburgh Festival over the years and returns toThe Lemon Tree with another fine selection of stand-ups ear-marked for the top.

Tom Allen

In 2005 Tom Allen won the coveted SO YOU THINK YOU’RE FUNNY? competition in Edinburgh and went on to win the BBC NEW COMEDY AWARD later that year. Since then he has performed at the international JUST FOR LAUGHS FESTIVAL in Montreal, at Manchester’s QUEER UP NORTH and has had his own highly acclaimed show at the Edinburgh Festival for the past two years. This new show is about all the women that – for whatever reason – he has come to love. Or at least like. And always in a completely non-sexual way.  Not to be mistaken for a show fit for a stag party, it comes from Tom’s position as a gay man and the curious unique brand of love that he has for the women in his life.

“Rocked by the rhythm of a saint” Daily Telegraph

“He's a wonderfully laconic anecdotalist, and a rare talent. I urge - nay, demand - that you see him perform” Three Weeks

Sean Grant
Sean describes his act as a mixture of fact, fiction and nonsense, inventive, sometimes cynical, often selfish, but with an underlying frivolity, carefully constructed and delivered with the enthusiasm of sporting pundit Alan Hansen.

Not bad for a comedian who, not quite 4 months after his first-ever open-spot in May 2007, and on only his 10th time on a stage, won the coveted Scottish Comedian Of The Year title, beating many more experienced, professional acts. There are very few comic writers who could be called a natural talent - Sean Grant is one of them.

Paul McCaffrey
Paul McCaffrey is one of the most exciting new acts on the UK circuit. Over the past year he has been scooping up awards, accolades and critical acclaim.  His assured delivery and beautifully observed material lead to bizarre flights into silliness and darkly gleeful rants.

“He has charm, charisma and success written all over him” Evening Standard

“One to watch” The London Paper

“Highly promising” Time Out

“Likeable, animated and fluid, with a first rate sense of timing. A very appealing act indeed” Chortle
