Our resident MC Danny McLoughlin introducing double headliners Mick Ferry and Sol Bernstein.
Mick Ferry set foot on stage for the very first time at the legendary Frog and Bucket in 1997, which led to a career that has seen him perform all around the world. He is one of the most sought after comperes and headliners in the UK and writes regularly for some of the biggest names in stand up comedy and he has appeared on many tv shows.
Completely at ease with any audience, Mick has an effortless ability to pluck material from thin air.
A supremely talented performer, Mick is a member of the esteemed Cutting Edge Show at The Comedy Store. It’s a furiously fast paced topical team show that relies on its members being quick witted and Mick continues to hone his off the cuff spontaneous acerbic and razor sharp outbursts.
Sol Bernstein has reached a certain point in his career, where it’s time to ease up on doing legendary things and reflect on an exemplary life. He invites us to listen to his tales of the high life with the biggest names in showbiz, musings on how the world has changed, and being just an ordinary Jew with world-beating wit, unbounded talent and death-defying chutzpah.
Singer, dancer, comedian, magician, actor and musician Sol Bernstein was born in Ukraine. Having been rated Best Triangle Player by Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington in the 1950s, he went on to perform across the globe at venues such as The London Palladium, New York’s Carnegie Hall, The Paris Olympia, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Scunthorpe Working Mens Club.
But despite such a life, Sol has suffered unforgiveable injustice. Heard of Elvis Presley? No? How about The Beatles? Really? Ok then, surely Marcel Marceau? Good. Well, Sol Bernstein launched the careers of these greats, and what did he get for it? Nada. Nothing, not even a ‘thank you’. But having escaped the Pogroms in Russia and the Nazis in Germany as a child, Bernstein is no stranger to pain and hardship – in all their forms – have made the man what he is. Such struggles – be they life-threatening or female nagging – give Sol Bernstein not only the inspiration to face each new day but the material for his limitless supply of comedy shtick. The resulting performances have given the man good reason to enjoy fame and build friendships with the likes of Burt Bacharach, James Brown and Harry Hill.
Resident MC Danny McLoughlin has the sharp wit & material, likeable persona and strong stage presence that have seen him become a much sought after act in his short time as a stand up. A finalist in the Chortle Student Comedian of The Year in 2008, Danny went on to perform as part of the prestigious Big Value Comedy Show during Edinburgh Festival 2009. He also supported Al Pitcher on his UK Tour and is booked by some of the UK’s biggest gigs and promoters.
