A split-bill work-in-progress comedy show from Charlie Ashton & Justina Seselskaite | Wednesday 18th November | 7:30pm TEST DRIVE is a brand-new comedy festival for brand-new jokes. 13 of the best comedians from the North West circuit and beyond are joining forces to present split-bill work-in-progress shows every night between the 17th-20th November. Amongst our comics are award winners and nominees, television stars, regional regulars and character acts - it's a real who's who! Wednesday 18th November: Charlie Ashton - BBC New Comedy Awards Regional Finalist, "a star in the making" - Rolling Stone Justina Seselskaite - Edinburgh Fringe ISH Award Nominee, So You Think You're Funny? Finalist, "Brilliant" - Micky Flanagan With jokes straight out of our acts' notebooks and noggins, there'll be plenty of laughs, perhaps the occasional tumbleweed and the chance to discover emerging talent on the Manchester comedy scene. Who knows, you could be privy to the next 'Garlic Bread'... Held inside the Red Arch Bookshop (11 Red Bank, M4 4HF), the festival will adopt a relaxed, cosy, fringe-like vibe where comedians can play, experiment & most importantly, entertain you for the evening. Doors 7pm | Show 7:30pm | Red Arch open from 4pm for Happy Hour!
