Ben's Book Club feat Rosie Jones & John Kearns
Ben's Book Club feat Rosie Jones & John Kearns at Clapham Library, London
About the show
Calling all bibliophiles! Ben Pope is a bookseller and a comedian. This is his book club! Here's how it works: Ben picks a book. You read it* and so do his two hilarious comedian guests. Then: discuss.
Part comedy show, part literary lunch. All of the joy of a good book club with none of the blah-blah-blah.
Featuring - Rosie Jones
With her infectious laugh and high energy Rosie Jones brings 'huge laughs' (Chortle) and has quickly become a must-see act on the comedy circuit. The ex-television researcher was awarded second place in the Leicester Mercury's New Comedian Of The Year 2018, and has already starred on 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Last Leg: The Correspondents.
With seemingly no end to her talents, Rosie is also an incredible actor, making her primetime debut as Serena in a Silent Witness two-part special.
John Kearns
The most original, odd, off-beat and hilarious alternative comic to arise this decade, John Kearns is an act who has forged his own raggedy path all the way to success.
London-based comedian and Winner of the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award, Best Newcomer 2013.
'Tremendous originality... a jumpy and unpredictable raconteur... a shot of nervous energy, an elastic band about to snap... I can't see him waiting in reserve for long' (Broadyway Baby)
'... brilliantly bonkers' (Time Out)
'Now THIS is how you do absurd comedy' (http://www.Chortle.co.uk).
