"PUNT"
Do you have the compuntion to pun?

An punderful evening of pun-filled fun, lexical wizardry and wicked word play where four pun-dits are pitched against each other to hilarious effect. Come, sit, drink and watch whilst the meanest pun-slingers in the west take to the stage at pun-down for a rip-roaring rodeo of bad gags and arse-clenching innuendo (in-YOUR-end-oh!) - Pungent!

A four person panel show; perfect for the sex-obsessed intellectual and the compulsively competitive thicko; with openings for the audience to keep their hand in. Just lie back and enjoy the ride....it'll be more pun than you can handle.

Sunday February 19th.
5pm in 'The Studio' @ VAULT.

WANTED: THE MEANEST PUN-SLINGERS IN THE WEST!

HUMPHREY "THE MAN WITH NO GAME" KER
Humphrey is a comedian, actor and writer. In 2011 he won the Foster's Comedy Award Best Newcomer which is actually quite a good thing even though you've probably never heard of it. Used to be called the Perrier? No? Fair enough.

THOM "TEX" TUCK
"Tex" Tuck is a comedian of some sort, although he fancies himself as an actor, philosopher and in general. He was nominated as "best newcomer" at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in his tenth consecutive year there. He is rarely short of an opinion and occasionally expresses this on twitter, where his username is a quote from King Lear (@turlygod). This succinctly expresses what kind of arse he is. For shooting purposes, he is left-eyed.

ISHBEL "ANNIE GET YOUR PUN" McFARLANE
Not to be outpun by the professional comedians, Ishbel is such a paronomasiac that she did a whole research degree in visual puns. With this firm, employable footing she now does a thousand underpaid jobs in theatre and education. Last year she did lots of directing including an American production of Romeo and Juliet, a new opera and a new play at the Fringe. She also performs poetry on trains (with permission, not in a crazy way) and has a flourishing film career in Scandinavia.

TOMMY “THE PUNDANCE KID” HERBERT
Last year, Tommy toured America with Stone Soup Shakespeare's production of Romeo and Juliet, playing Friar Lawrence, Tybalt and Gregory. Other recent work includes Jack in The Importance of Being Earnest with the Barnham Players (2010), King Henry in Becket at St Edmund's Bury Cathedral (2008) and jingles for the podcast Answer Me This! But he's basically a computer programmer.

MAT “WAGON FAIL” BURT
Lured here under false pretences, Mat is a producer of theatre and events with the Heritage Arts Company. His basic grasp of the English language has led to so-far unsubstantiated accusations of wordplay (@batmurt). Recent credits include turning down a Daz advert after being approached by a casting agent at the bank. He is a man of the people, and happy with his wash.
