Pete Prodge

Currently performing a 10m spot around the UK as dizzy W*th*rsp**ns barmaid Trisha Timpson. I'm also the booker/MC/promoter of two monthly comedy nights: Beerhouse Comedy in Market Harborough and Chuckle Pit in Wellingborough. ----------------------------------------- "Cheers for Saturday, thought you smashed it" - Jason Neale, Proper Funny Comedy, Leicester. "You were really good!" - Geoff Steel, Go On My Sun, Reading. "I love your gags" - Jim Grant, Oi Oi Comedy. "Brilliant character" - Charmian Hughes. "...a very good act in my opinion I've seen it a few times and was more polished every time I saw it" - Glen Gandy, Blue Giraffe Comedy. "Very good" - Dan Nicholas. "Excellent" - Chris Norton-Walker. ----------------------------------------- Nominated for Midlands Comedy Awards 2015: Beerhouse Comedy for Best Open Mic Club ----------------------------------------- The owner of an acerbic mouth, Pete Prodge is partially responsible for the EU's surplus in sardonic expression. Through quirks of fate, Pete Prodge had already performed a comedy sketch on live TV and a regular character on radio many years before attempting stand-up, thus playing out his comedy career in reverse. Stand-up debut was in 2011 at the Between The Cheeks New Act gong show at Northampton's Black Bottom Club, which saw him win over the audience. A gong show at his local, the Horseshoe Inn in Wellingborough saw him invited back for the 'Best Of...' finals. Despite these minor successes, Peter gigged very sporadically over the next two years and then put comedy on hold, preferring his love life... ...which eventually crashed and burned, thus giving him the perfect incentive get behind the mic. (Passing his driving test also helped massively.) Encouraged by the offer to organise a monthly comedy night in Market Harborough, Pete assumed the role as host, booker and promoter. 2015 saw Pete travelling over the country to perform more open spots, as well as taking part in daft comedy projects like Bushroads for The Holly Bush. He produced his first television series, The A-Z Of Tiswas, for Big Centre TV. This year kicked off with a unique performance specially crafted for cult comedy night Club Smashing in Leicester.
