BIG TOP COMEDY PRESENTS
#DALISOCHAPONDA / #ANDREW O’NEILL / #TONY VINO
DALISO CHAPONDA
Daliso Chaponda the Britain’s Got Talent finalist has landed his own stand-up comedy show on BBC Radio 4.
Known recently also from his appearance on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, and the Edinburgh Fringe, #Daliso started in comedy in 2001 in Canada with the acclaimed one man show ‘Feed This Black Man’. Subsequent appearances across Canada followed (highlights include The Just For Laughs Festival 2005 & CBC Television’s ‘Crossing The Main’).
In 2004 Daliso Chaponda headlined the ‘Don’t Let Them Deport Me’ Comedy Show as a plea to officials to have his Canadian visa extended. The show was sold out, well reviewed, and frenzied letters were written to bureaucrats. He was forced to leave anyway after one final show, 2005’s “They’re Deporting Him Anyway.” Next, he worked as a comedy writer and performer in #SouthAfrica before moving to the #UK.
ANDREW O’NEILL
Heavy metal, vegan, transvestite stand-up comedian,
as seen on Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Stewart Lee’s
Comedy Vehicle. Andrew O’Neill isn’t your usual
stand-up comedian.

misfortunes of others’ Alan Moore
‘Comedic brilliance’ TimeOut

multilayered acts we’ve seen. Don’t miss a trick

Tony Vino (MC)
Preston’s very own funnyman. Tony Vino (**** The Scotsman) has been touring the comedy scene since early 2005. Well aware of social and political issues he mixes friendly well thought out observational humour with audience interaction and quick witted responses. A finalist in 2006 Funny Bones competition, Tony has enjoyed recognition as a comedian and comedy compere of renown. His life and interests are wide ranging and so is the subject matter he weaves together on stage.

“Tony Vino makes me laugh on and off stage. He’s always funny and has some
of the same letters as my name”. Tim Vine
