Laughter Shock 5

• October 2009

Extreme comedy from the nation’s newest stand-ups

The Brown Eyed Boy LaughterShock Tour climaxed on October 2nd at 10pm on the Soho Theatre main stage. It featured stand-up and filmed sketches from 10 of the best new comedians from around the UK, the intention of the night was to provoke response and push the boundaries of taste and decency.

With previous shows including International LaughterShock at The Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, Extreme Gay and Lesbian LaughterShock at The Wilton’s Music Hall and Multicultural LaughterShock at the Hackney Empire the final show was certainly the funniest and most extreme.
