The Comedy Shuffle

From his early days as The 11 o’ Clock Show’s Bulla, to more recently Andrew Cotton on BBC’s Eastenders, former hairdresser and boxer Ricky Grover has certainly pulled no punches when it comes to heavyweight characters.

He is now returning as himself to his East End and Stand Up roots to present The Comedy Shuffle, a weekly Saturday night show featuring top acts including Omid Djalili and Tim Vine alongside the stars of tomorrow for the first ever comedy show at Asper’s ‘Super Casino’, Stratford.

Grover says, “I’m so proud to be from East London, and especially Stratford - it’s now one of the most exciting, vibrant places in the UK. The Olympics brought the best athletes from around the world alongside our own homegrown talent. Hopefully I can keep this trend going with The Comedy Shuffle, which will be mixing well-known acts alongside brand spanking new ones."

"The aim is to keep it fresh by shuffling things around, with special themed nights including the monthly ‘Shuffle Showdown’ where a section of the show is dedicated to giving comers the opportunity to try their luck under the spotlight, their fate left in the hands of the audience who will decide whether they shuffle on or shuffle off.”

The Comedy Shuffle will deliver the ultimate night out where punters can have a flutter, enjoy a meal, have a drink and a proper laugh in a spectacular venue. The Launch Night will feature Grover, Omid Djalili, Sean Collins, The Noise Next Door and Kane Brown.
