SEYMOUR MACE: SEYMOURLAND Imagine a place where all your wildest dreams come true. Now forget that place and imagine another place where a happy idiot in a pink frilly shirt gathers a few friendly odd balls and tries to have as much fun as can be managed in an hour and five minutes, just to squeeze out that last little bit of enjoyment. So come on down, get on up and join on in for the chance to win some fabulous prizes just by playing games where it helps to be a spaced out loony. Seymourland. Being stupid is what we do best. "Breathtaking... a surreal performance, he had the audience in the palm of his hand from start to finish." - Evening Chronicle "Sharp, surreal set." - Leicester Mercury "Gangling idiot savant." - Newcastle Evening Chronicle "After wowing the judges the future looks bright for Seymour Mace." - The Shields Gazette

ROB ROUSE: THE GREAT ESCAPE Star of 8 out of 10 Cats, Friday Night Project and Spoons, Rob's triumphant return to Edinburgh last year won him fantastic critical acclaim. A sell-out festival run took his trademark comedic storytelling to a career high, followed by a national tour. This year Rob is knuckling down. Girlfriend, toddler, dog? Check! However, you can't live off high spirits and adrenaline forever, the honeymoon's over. Now the hard bit; sorting himself out. "Hilarious." - ***** List "Missing this show means missing something wonderful." - ***** Edinburgh Evening News "Just go see it." - **** Sunday Times

The list is as up to date as possible, but all acts are subject to change. For latest information, or to book a spot at the Balloon, please contact Neil Smith by email spider@comedyballoon.co.uk.
