Loaded LAFTAS Comedy Tour with Durex Ora!
After seven years of celebrating the best comedic talent at the annual Loaded LAFTAS Comedy Awards, Loaded has launched Loaded LAFTAS Comedy Tour.
Brightening up the start of the new decade, the Loaded LAFTAS Comedy Tour with Durex Ora! will be calling in at seven cities from 22 February. With four of the UK's most hotly tipped comedians for 2010 ready to deliver a laughter fest like no other, the Loaded LAFTAS Comedy Tour with Durex Ora! is the perfect way to kick start the new year.
The exciting new stars of British comedy – Luke McQueen, Eric Lampaert, Joe Bor and Lee Kern – will take to the stage over seven dates to provide a bucket full of wit, a shed load of humour and a sprinkle of smut to beat those winter blues.
Alongside being the proud owner of a third nipple, Luke McQueen, has appeared at the world renowned Edinburgh Festival, and regularly appears as a stand up and compere across the UK's largest comedy venues.
Jack of all trades, Eric Lampaert , is not only a superb stand up comedian, his talents stretch across film, theatre and TV, and his spontaneous and crazy antics have won him the Laughing Horse's Big Comedy Competition.
Rising star Joe Bor, is already the proud owner of three prestigious comedy awards, including The Comedy Store Gong and the Comedy Café's New Act award. 2010 will see him catapulted into comedy stardom.
Comedy writer, documentary maker and stand up comedian, Lee Kern's unique style has caught the eye of a host of comedians who, along with the UK's press, are praising his work as one of the UK's hottest new comedians.
Britain's original men's magazine, Loaded, has always celebrated a surreal and downright anarchic sense of humour. Dedicating more pages to comedy than any other magazine, it seemed only natural to launch its own comedy awards back in 2002. 2010 will see the Loaded LAFTAS become even bigger with the Loaded LAFTAS Comedy Tour.
This year's LAFTAS Comedy Awards and Comedy Tour are brought to you in association with Durex Ora! – a frank and honest online community where you can cut through the smut to talk honestly about sex.
