Avalon Comedy Network: Garrett Millerick. Laura Lexx, Alex Kitson & Morgan Rees

About

Avalon Entertainment presents the biggest stars of tomorrow … today! March's line-up includes stand-up phenomenon Garrett Millerick, the sharp-tongued Somerset native Laura Lexx, the award-winning Alex Kitson, and the softly spoken one-liner expert Morgan Rees.

Garrett Millerick

A phenomenal stand-up comic, Garrett's breakout television performance was on the hit US late-night talk show Conan (TBS). His live show Sunflower became one of the best reviewed and most talked about shows of 2018, both at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and subsequently at London's Soho Theatre. The show saw packed houses for both runs and regularly added shows to cope with demand. The show was Time Out London's No.1 Comedy Pick for February 2019, and saw Garrett receive a nomination for 'Breakthrough Act' at the 2019 Chortle Awards. Garrett has since followed up the show with Smile and Just Trying to Help.

Laura Lexx

Regional comedian, author and actor Laura Lexx is vivacious, impassioned, intelligent and one of the best MCs/Headliners on the comedy scene. Born and bred in the home county of Somerset, Laura's comfy demeanour, warmth and energy delightfully juxtapose her biting wit, sharp tongue and brutal audience take downs, which just can't stop going viral.

Following her Live at The Apollo (BBC) debut Laura received an unprecedented reaction both from the live crowd and audiences at home, which lead to her appearing in shows such as Mock The Week (BBC), Hypothetical (Dave) and Celebrity Mastermind (BBC) to name a few.
