“A touching story, hugely entertaining and original.*****” – Latest 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As engaging an hour of comedic storytelling as you are likely to find.****” – Fringe Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where do you go when you\u2019re 15, bored, living in a backwater and it\u2019s 1987? In renowned character comedian Joanna Neary<\/a>‘s delightful, hilarious story of teenage longing, crushed dreams, weak squash and table tennis, there’s only one answer.<\/p>\n

“Quirkily told and beautifully written…Neary mines those teenage years for the ultimate embarrassment.****” – Chortle<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Youth Club’<\/strong> is a brand new, one-person character comedy (including four songs and one dance routine) about growing up in a small town that once had industry where now there\u2019s none. Based on a true story that chimes with absolutely everyone who is, or ever has been, a teenager, it will make you hoot with delight and cringe with embarrassment. Boasting a cast of “many memorable characters” (Exeunt Theatre Magazine), all contained in Neary’s talented yet diminutive frame, it is ideal for small theatres, arts centres and rural venues. <\/p>\n

“Both sympathetic and hilarious…A compelling mixture of stand-up, one-woman show, and storytelling……simultaneously innovative and entertaining.****” – Exeunt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hailed by ‘The Times’<\/strong> as “A Twenty-First Century Joyce Grenfell”, Joanna Neary is a highly-regarded character comedian, also known to millions of loyal fans all over the country for her role as Judith in the hit BBC series ‘Ideal’<\/strong>. Her four previous Edinburgh sketch shows won rave reviews, and a nomination for Perrier Newcomer<\/strong> in 2004. \u2018Youth Club\u2019<\/strong>, co-written with Joseph Nixon<\/a> and with additional material by Brian Mitchell<\/a>, sees her develop her multiple character acting and story-telling skills in her first full-length, one-person comedy. <\/p>\n
