HOLY COCK! It’s Alun Cochrane…

Is that? No, it can’t be. IT BLOOD WELL IS!

On 22nd July, a painfully humid Monday evening, at the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Dead Cat Comedy delivered a top-knotch telly comic to an intimate room of hardcore comedy fans…

That’s right! The utterly sensational Alun Cochrane recently popped down to our show at TV21 to do his thing. Alun, whose TV credits include McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Mock the Week, came down to tryout some new material. Mike Newall the evening’s Headliner called us earlier in the day. Mike is currently doing tour support for Alun and Alun had asked if he could come down and just do 5mins. We couldn’t believe it! It felt like we were in Field of Dreams (or Waynes World 2) “If you build it. They will come”.

There’s something really special about bringing an act of Alun’s calibre into a room as intimate as Dead Cat. Anyway, the 5mins Alun had intended to do went out the window and he ended up treating our audience to a solid 20mins. He clearly enjoyed himself and expressed interest in returning. He was even kind enough to give back his cut of the donation money. This is the magic of Dead Cat! Expect similarly big names in the future.

Dead Cat promise top-quality stand-up comedy. And Jesus Tits do we deliver!? Alun is a truly brilliant Comedian. Be sure to catch his tour coming to a theatre near you next January.
