You look…
a bit ruff.
A cliché we know, but time really
does seem to fly. It’s hard to believe
as we sit here in the middle of
Sheffield, about to press the print
button on the biggest comedy
festival brochure we’ve ever had,
that a year has passed since last
time. It’ll be Christmas before you
know it, and we’ll all be moaning
about how quick the year’s gone.
Well we’ve decided. It’s time to stop moaning.
Oh we know times are hard, and friends are few, we can read. We hear of austerity measures,
of job losses and cuts, of phone hacking and blagging. We know that June was freezing and
that Blue didn’t get anywhere in The Eurovision Song Contest. We know that your iPhone
keeps dropping calls, and that you’ve had to start saving up for a holiday you might be able
to take sometime in 2016. We’re as amazed as you are that Tom won The Apprentice, and as
indifferent as you as to who Katie Price is living with. And we know, yes we know, that no
matter what you want to call it, both Sheffield teams are in the Third Division.
But do you know what? If you put a hat and a pair of glasses on a greyhound, everything
seems a little brighter. So that’s what we did.
Loads of shows, loads of venues, loads of laughter and loads of fun, with a picture of a dog
called Big Ron plastered all over the city.
This is Grin Up North.

Dirty Great Fringepiece

Him off the Viz’ Simon Donald opens the beef curtains
of his big hairy Fringepiece, revealing a deep wet otter’s
pocket of fishy material. A new hour of characters
interspersed with anecdotes from a life spent writing
fanny synonyms. Show title bears no relation to content;
a shameless ploy to get Festival-goers to plunge their fists
deep into their furry purses.

Unstoppably funny and uniquely talented, The Noise Next
Door are the most exciting and captivating act on the
circuit today.
Bringing an element of Mark Steel’s In Town to
each live performance, means Mark will write material
shedding light on the quirkiness and interesting aspects
of every town and city he visits, allowing each show to
be unique - something local audiences up and down
the country will devour and enjoy. Mark is committed to
performing a routine about the history of every town he’ll
perform in. However, he may regret making this promise!

8.30pm
This Manchester stand-up legend has come along way
since winning ‘City Life Comedian of the Year’ in 2000,
having starred in Ken Loach’s film ‘Looking for Eric’,
hosted his own daily afternoon radio show on Sony Award
winning Key 103, starred as Young Kenny in the hugely
successful ‘Phoenix Nights’ and he recently performed on
Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow.
Don’t miss this stand-up romp from one of Britain’s best
comedians. Watching Justin live is a joy to behold, his
comedy only coming second to his modesty. Justin didn’t
write this. He got someone else to do it, but he agrees.

Women, Wine &
Wit: 1500–1800
6–7pm, 20 October 2011
Jessop West Exhibition Space,
1 Hanover Street, Sheffield, S3 7RA
(entrance opposite the Henderson’s Relish factory)
The University of Sheffield is proud to be
supporting the Grin Up North Sheffield
Comedy Festival. Cathy Shrank, Professor
of Renaissance & Tudor Literature,
and Karen Harvey, Senior Lecturer in
Cultural History at the University of
Sheffield, present ‘Women, Wine
and Wit’.
‘Can women be funny like men?’
This was the question asked by critics
after the 2011 film release Bridesmaids.
Join us for a conversation about the
gendered nature of wit. How did humour
change as society became more ‘refined’?
Was it possible for a woman to be witty?
And if so, how do we recover this ‘hidden’
history? The talk will explore the changing
nature of humour and the relationship
between wit and satire.
The event is free but ticketed. Tickets are available from
the University of Sheffield Students’ Union Box Office,
Western Bank.

Paul Sinha 8pm
“Words Don’t Come Easy”
Inspired by the amazing audience reaction to his
deconstruction of song lyrics in his “Best Medicine
Tour” combined with his fascination with the vagaries
of the English Language, Dave’s hilarious new show
examines many more situations in life where words
really don’t come easy. These include tongue-tied
parents explaining the facts of life, ridiculous
32
newspaper stories, poems, pathetic adolescent chat-up
lines, hospital speak, learning a foreign language and
an extended selection of song lyrics that range from
the lazy through surreal to the ridiculous. Throw in a
“Champion the Wonder Horse” sing-a-long, a look at
Ancient Abyssinian Contraception, Rubbish School Trips,
Epidural Anaesthesia and The Last Supper and you have
all the ingredients for a rich and spicy comedy casserole
- a sort of Lexicon-Carne! Sorry.

an innovative comedy show aimed at encouraging men to

a nightmare but with John’s comedic approach to raising
awareness it’s more ‘share’ than ‘scare’, with a whole lot of
laughs along the way.

Andy Parsons once found some underpants in a jar of
mayonnaise. He may talk about it. Or he may not. This is his
third tour round the country. It may be his last. There’s only
so much of the UK a man needs to see. The more you travel
the more chance there is that your mayonnaise may contain
underpants. So he will be holding nothing back. Yes, this
show will shave even closer – and will be nothing but the
whole truth, slightly embellished.
