TOMMY AND MR. WINCHESTER Tightly scripted and delivered with anarchic and masterful comic timing Scotland on Sunday ***** 'It's safe to say youve never seen anything like it. Their timing is sheer delight. The balance of their gloriously unequal partnership is perfect The Scotsman **** 'Refreshingly funny. Roars of laughter filled the auditorium' Three Weeks 'A riotous parody of vaudeville' The List In August this year Mr. Winchester and Tommy took the Edinburgh Festival by storm with their hit show Classic Entertainment, showing all the so called comedians a thing or two about the business and how it should be done. By popular demand they are bringing this tried and tested formula to The Big Chill House to inject some real comedy into all the alternative sh*t that fills the London club circuit. Harking back to the golden age of truly great entertainment when the likes of Bobby Ball, Duncan Norville and Stan Boardman were at the top of their game. 7.30PM - 11.30PM, £7.50 / £5.50 concs
