About Craicfriars Comedy Featuring Des Clarke & Krystal Evans
On Wednesday 24th January Craicfriars Comedy is bringing an absolute belter of a line-up to Blackfriars of Bell St, headlined by Scottish comedy megastar Des Clarke, with opening act Krystal Evans and hosting from Peter Bell.
Multi-award winning Des Clarke is one of the UK’s most exciting performers. He has made a name for himself as both a highly successful comedian and one of television and radio’s star presenters. You may have seen him on SM:TV Live, Breaking The News, Des Doesn’t Do, Hogmanay Live, Sport Relief Tryathlon, STV Appeal, Andy Murray Live, Club Cupid, Sportsround and Children in Need to name but a few. He also hosted the live Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony to a global TV audience of 1 billion viewers.
Stand-up comedy remains Des’s first love and he performs his own solo shows annually at the Edinburgh Fringe and Glasgow Comedy Festival. He has toured the world with his unique brand of observational humour, appearing on stage in New York, Dubai, Australia and Los Angeles. Des has also received critical acclaim for his comedy, winning Chortle Best Newcomer and the ITV Golden Mic Award.
“May actually be the funniest man I’ve ever seen… Absolutely excellent.” – BBC
“Touched by genius… His comedy was astonishing and indescribably funny leaving the audience breathless.” – Edinburgh Evening News
“Onstage he is a racing car wrapped in an express train inside a space rocket.” – Sunday Herald
Opening the show will be US comedienne Krystal Evans. She has done tour support for Stewart Francis and Tez Ilyas, been on BBC's Breaking the News and Scot Squad, and hosted and headlined shows at The Stand, Monkey Barrel and The Glee Club. Krystal has won the Ten Feet Tall and Frog and Bucket gong shows, and was also Leicester Mercury New Comedian of the Year Award finalist 2019.
