World’s Best Performers: Ricky Balshaw & Tevin Everett

Leading the spectacular August tour is the brilliant Ricky Balshaw, whose astounding and genuinely inspirational life story is only exceeded by his truly great comedy abilities. Paralympic Dressage Medallist Ricky shares his own lived experiences of having cerebral palsy and performs a stunning, daring, and expertly constructed stand-up show. His punchlines are devastatingly funny, his performances are compelling, always full of real warmth and raw honesty. Ricky Balshaw is now seen by both critics and fans as one of the most gifted and promising comedians to be coming up in the UK. He’s a hot favourite at some of Britain’s biggest and most competitive comedy clubs already.

Joining him on this wonderful tour will be Tevin Everett, an award-winning American comedian and one of the most popular new comedic performers on the London circuit. Tevin has received over a million views online, great feedback from all quarters, and has gained huge recognition in the business very quickly. He recently booked a place in the highly sought-after Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year final. Tevin’s live shows combine super-charged storytelling, incisive observations, and endless on-stage charisma to ensure that every audience member has an incredibly captivating experience.
