Michael Holford: Big Red Chopper, The Early Days

Michael Holford bursts onto the stage with an infectious energy that immediately puts audiences at ease. A natural storyteller, his comedy weaves together tales of childhood, the colourful characters he’s met along the way, and the joys and pitfalls of life — all delivered with a warmth that makes his material hugely relatable. The knowing nods and shared laughter from the crowd say it all. Everyone feels included. While his married material strikes a particular chord with couples, his broad range of topics and sharp observations appeal to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Packed with punchlines but driven by storytelling, Michael has a proven ability to make rooms roar with laughter and send audiences home reminded of just how good live comedy can be. “Eeeee yeee, should be on the telly — ya were brilliant.” — Wifey behind the bar, Ashington Cricket Club
