The next Lone Star Comedy Club takes place at the Lanterns in Folkestone, this Saturday March 18th with HOWARD READ, DAVE LEMKIN, JOE WILKINSON and compere DAN WILLIS.
HOWARD READ is an award-winning stand-up comic, writer and animator. His show ‘The Big Howard Little Howard Show’ was the only British nominee for the Perrier Award at the 2003 Edinburgh Festival. He then took this show on a national tour and to New York, Stockholm and the US Comedy Arts Festival in Colorado and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The show was a unique combination of stand-up comedy and live, interactive animation where Read performs with a cast of animated characters which he writes, voices and animates himself. The star of the show is Little Howard, Read’s six-year-old alter ego who can respond to audience questions using a complex data-base of animated routines. This and Howard’s other shows – Howard Read: words and Pictures (2002) and At Home With The Howards (2004) received rave reviews and ongoing interest from television companies both here and in the US. Howard can (and does) claim to have created a completely new genre in live entertainment. His stand-up warm up work includes Channel 4’s Black Books, ITV’s Baddeil and Skinner Unplanned and The Frank Skinner Show. His writing credits include channel 4’s Meet Ricky Gervais, The eleven O’Clock Show and The In Crowd.
DAVE LEMKIN started as a stand-up in April 2002 and has since performed at venues such as the Comedy Store, jongleurs and Up The Creek. A qualified lawyer and actor, he has appeared in both Red Dwarf (BBC) and Drop The Dead Donkey (Channel 4). The move to stand-up was a natural progression which has seen him work as both a compere and a straight act in Britain and Europe. He reached the semi finals of the Channel 4 sponsored So You Think You’re Funny competition at the Edinburgh Festival in 2003.
JOE WILKINSON was winner of the 2006 Hackney Empire new act competition and was placed third in the So You Think You’re Funny competition.
Having started out as a panellist on the Perrier Awards (after winning the TimeOut Edinburgh Festival comedy competition in 2001), DAN WILLIS has starred in and presented a number of shows for network television including ‘Kings of Comedy’ and ‘Edinburgh or Bust’. Dan has also worked tirelessly as a crowd warm-up person for shows such as ‘Open House with Gloria Hunniford’ where for six months he daily entertained a crowd of 80-year-old ladies without swearing or naughty sex talk – though his stand-up routine can switch effortlessly from clean to adult material depending on how the crowd want to go.
Tickets are £8 each or £64 for a table of eight on the main dance floor area. Call Richard on 07810 864228 to book your place. Doors open at 8pm, with the show starting at 8.30pm.

MATT WELCOME (our headliner comes finely recommended from our twin club in cranleigh, where he has ripped the roof off not once, but twice! he displays a sharp, snappy skill for comic writing and claims to deliver more gags per minute than any other act on the uk circuit, so he will appeal to those of you who've enjoyed acts such as gary delaney in the past. he'll be great. "probably one of the most talented comedians on today's comedy circuit" - for woman magazine)
DAVE DYNAMITE (the latest export from the rather wonderful maverick comedy stable [whose other clients include the marvellous talents of both wil hodgson and josie long], dave is a proper south london geezer who has promised to bring twenty minutes of vein throbbing anger and utter stupidity which will be forced down your throat like a cocktail on the club 18-30s holiday. oh my i can't wait! "brash, mouthy South Londoner with the impenetrable stage presence of an ox" - chortle)
COLIN OWENS (colin is actually a relative newcomer to the circuit, having been gigging for less than a year, but in that time he has won jimmy carr's 'comedy idol' competition, reached the semi-finals of both the 2005 paramount comedy/channel 5 so you think you're funny and the bbc new comedy awards. so he looks like he's going to be great.)
compere DAN WILLIS (one had better get used to dan's lovable face because he will be our semi-resident compere for the future! he has appeared at the club three times before, each time proving to be absolutely delightful and placing a really fun atmosphere upon the whole show.)
all of this at the LONE STAR COMEDY CLUB
