Markus Birdman: We Are All In The Gutter, But Some Of Us Are Looking At The Gutter

Phil McIntyre Live proudly presents: Markus Birdman: We Are All In The Gutter, But Some Of Us Are Looking At The Gutter
Last year, after 20 years of stand up, I did Britain’s Got Talent. People asked me, “why now?”. Up ‘til that point I’d been very happy avoiding TV & fame – and in that sense, I’d been hugely successful! However, the year before, I’d also had a stroke and lost half my eyesight. I was now keen to talk about my experience, comedically, to as wide an audience as possible. I did quite well, got to the semi-finals & had my 15 minutes fame.
Careful what you wish for!
Who knew that talking about my experience would be so offensive? How dare I make jokes about my own strokes & blindness! “You nasty, awful man”.
This is a candid and hilarious new stand-up hour, talking about who I am, in an era where people are really keen to hear about who you are, so long as who you are, is something they want to hear about. Otherwise “you deserve your stroke*.”
Never mind the haters, I come back at you with love. Well, a couple of you can still kiss my half-blind backside**
*an actual online comment
**I never had a single complaint from anyone who had actually had a stroke.
As seen on Britain’s Got Talent (ITV) and Rosie Jones TV Disability Extravaganza (UKTV)

What people are saying...

Excellent venue… have never laughed so much! Nice bar food as well!

Thank you for having us, we had a lovely night!

Came with a couple of friends who don’t generally go to comedy. They loved the evening. Chantal Nash and Gbemi Oladipo were the favourites (Gbemi’s plane section had me crying!). They though the food was great and were impressed with the speed of service. Overall a brilliant night. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Thanks very much to all of you for hosting this – it was a great night!

It’s always entertaining when you sit at the front. The host was great, and the lineup was extremely funny. Well worth a visit great value for money.

Had a great time. Recognisable TV personality hosting. Several hours of comedy. Drink prices reasonable for the area. Lots of laughs.

Fantastic comedy venue, very accommodating to my disability requirements. Never seen a bad comedy show there yet … really good up and coming acts.

Love the Komedia. It has the best comedy shows!

I always spend awesome nights at Komedia and the Komedia staff, at the door or behind the bar are always so friendly and super helpful. I can’t wait to go back already!

Amazing night of comedy drinks and fun with a friend celebrating a birthday. Great food, great service and a fantastic night, loved all the acts by the host was *Chefs kiss*
