COMEDY

Comedy Gold Diggers is bringing its distinctive blend of scripted comedy to The Rosemary Branch Theatre. 

Performed and recorded live, Comedy Gold Diggers will showcase some of the most exciting voices in comedy, featuring a curated selection of scripts from their open callout along with an original piece.

Presented as rehearsed readings with live audio production and support from a critically-acclaimed comedian host, the night promises to deliver unforgettable comedy gold. 

The project was founded by award-winning London-based writer/comedian James Murphy, with the aim of creating an alternative platform for comedy writers to hear their work come to life in front of an audience. Murphy has previously won the British Comedy Guide’s Pro Performance Award, and is a multiple-time stand-up competition finalist. Credits include hit Edinburgh Fringe shows “2 Weird Guys Who Are Gay (!!!!)”, and Just the Tonic’s “Red Rum: Glue or Glory”.

The pieces are directed by Dom Stephens, a Brighton Fringe Award Nominated, Old Vic trained director. Recent plays include Liam Scanlon’s “Attachment Theory”, which sold out consecutive runs at The Canal Cafe Theatre and The Bread & Roses Theatre, and Mike Bartlett’s “An Intervention”, which became the best reviewed play of The Space Theatre’s artistic director’s inaugural season. His long-running, award-winning podcast series, Spieling The Beans, has seen him interview some of the world’s greatest storytellers, including Dame Judi Dench, George Clooney, Sir Rufus Norris and Sir Salman Rushdie. He’s one of Podcast Magazine’s ‘40 Under 40’.
