Tim Vine
PERRIER
AWARD FOR BEST NEWCOMER 1996
Tim Vine has
more punch lines per minute than any other comedian, certified by Guinness
World Records in 2004. At full pelt Tim sprays out 10 jokes a minute, most oozing
with that joyous juxtaposition of witty world play and silly puns. Channel 4
put him in a recent poll as the 36th Greatest Stand Up Comedian
ever.
His TV work
spans all five of the terrestrial channels, in fact he launched Five alongside
Julia Bradbury, and most recently sees him starring as Tim Adams in BBC One
primetime sitcom Not Going Out. He featured in the ITV Bafta award-winning The
Sketch Show and frequently sells out theatres across the land as well at
Edinburgh Festival.
His most
recent Edinburgh show, Punslinger, show’s he’s still on top form and gaining
critical acclaim from every angle. A prolific writer, an even more prolific
performer, there’s no way you could possibly get more gags for your buck anywhere
else.
"The
man with the golden pun" The Independent
"One
big irrepressible roller-coaster of mirth" The Stage
"Tim
has taken the trick of word-play and extended it to lengths no other comedian
has ever dared before. A very funny man indeed" Bob Monkhouse
