Entitled Get Up, Stand Up, the new live show from the former Beehive star can be sneakily previewed from May 20th, when it debuts at The Old Market, Brighton.  The show will then pop up in London on Tuesday 29th at Camden Head.

Further performances will take place on June 16th at The Tommyfield, Kennington; June 19th upstairs at Three & Ten, Brighton; June 28th at Billabong Club, Kent; July 20th at Bristol Tobacco Factory and finally on July 25th at The Stoke, Guildford.

The show will then join a smattering of other TVO Favourites at the Edinburgh Festival between 1st and 27th August.  We’ll be bringing you a full run-down of the shows to watch at the Festival very soon, so stay peeled.

What better way to spend a Saturday night than to see Sarah Kendall do comedy?

After a successful run of hosting Soho Later at the Soho Theatre from October to December last year, here’s another great opportunity to see Kendall (Beehive, Jackal Films) in action.

The comedienne is on the bill for two different comedy gigs on the same day: January 21st. She will be performing at The Comedy Tree and the Comedy Carnival, so if you can’t make it to one of them… why not head down to the other!?

The Comedy Carnival starts at 7pm and will also feature Jeff Innocent, the Canadian comic JJ Whitehead and MC Pete Jonas. You can purchase your tickets over here for £14.

Tickets for the Comedy Tree can be found here for £10 (students £6.00!) and also on the bill is Benjamin Crellin plus a guest comedian.

It’s certain to be a night full of laughs, so pop down to one or both shows and enjoy yourself!

The Velvet Onion has learnt of a new regular comedy night featuring Sarah Kendall.

The star of Beehive, last seen in TVO land in the Jackal Film ”My Old Baby” alongside Alice Lowe and Rich Fulcher, is hosting Soho Later at the prestigious Soho Theatre every Saturday night at 11:30pm till late.

The first edition last weekend featured Flight Of The Conchords star Eugene Mirman amongst its guests, and this weekend sees a truly worthwhile line-up that is not to be missed.  Alongside Kendall will be Penelope Princess Of Pets star Kurt Braunohler, cult legend Richard Herring and the ever hilarious Rich Hall.

Tickets are on sale now, priced between £12.50 and £15, but a quick visit to the Soho Theatre website will provide you with a unique promo code offering you tickets for just £7.50.

The site will be updated on a regular basis with each week’s guests, and TVO will endeavour to keep you posted if any of our regulars turn up to support Kendall.

The shows run until December 17th.

Time Out London have announced their official poll of the 100 Best Comedy Films ever, utilising the help of a number of faces familiar to The Velvet Onion.

Turning to 200 comics, actors, directors, producers and notable figures in the laugh-game, the magazine asked them all to list their top ten favourite comedy films, and explain why their particular favourites means so much to them, before collating the end results into a final top 100.

Contributors include Kim Noble, Dan Clark, Colin Hoult and Richard Sandling, as well as Beehive/Jackal Films star Sarah Kendall, Boosh radio series producer Danny Wallace, and head honcho for The Fix (and director of Rich Fulcher‘s latest Edinburgh show), Harry Deansway.

A couple of other familiar faces from TVO related projects have also been asked to submit their lists, including Matt Green (the Chef’s assistant in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace), Spencer Brown (Rufus in Nathan Barley), and both the writer of The Boat That Rocked, Richard Curtis, and one of it’s stars, Rhys Derby.

A number of films keep reoccurring in these lists, from the work of Monty Python to the films of Woody Allen, and cult favourites such as An American Werewolf In London and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story also get the odd nod from our favourites too.

The full list also contains Chris Morris instant classic Four Lions, released last year to great acclaim, and Edgar Wright’s 2007 corker Hot Fuzz, which featured Alice Lowe in it’s ensemble cast.
