  2. SNAFU COMEDY CLUB PRESENTS PATRICK ROLINK QUENTIN REYNOLDS JASON MURPHY 5TH JANUARY 2010 DOORS 7.30PM ENTRY 5 GET A BOGOF FREE MEAL IN THE ATHENAEUM BEFOREHAND! Patrick started gigging in 2002, and has played virtually every comedy club in Scotland as well as many in England, including The Comedy Store Leicester Square, Jongleurs Battersea, The Buzz Club, The Cellar Bar in Dublin as well as clubs in Newcastle ,Manchester, and Torquay. The year 2003 seen Patrick reach the national finals of the Channel 4 competition "So you think you're funny" at the Edinburgh Festival, and a whole series of gig at the world famous Edinburgh Fringe. Patrick also performed at various "Late & Live " venues during the festival. 2004 saw Patrick become a Jongleurs regular with regular spots in Glasgow and Edinburgh ,in April of this year Patrick enjoyed the ultimate experience of appearing on stage on Broadway in New York, in a the highly acclaimed "Matt McGinn Tribute Concert. 2005 seen Patrick promote and compere a very successful show at the Leicester Comedy Festival, as well as performing in a variety of places from The Hebrides Island, Torquay and Melton Mowbray, again demonstrating the universal appeal of his humour. The Big Smoke of London was again a calling point for Patrick with gigs at Jongleurs in Camden and Battersea, proving he has Capital Appeal. Patrick has also hosted and presented a nightly TV chat show on regional TV station, Thistle TV, where he interviewed personalities from sport, politics and comedy. He also has a regular sell out gig in his hometown "An Evening With Patrick Rolink and Friends", and also organised the yearly Lanarkshire Comedy Festival, which has brought top comedy acts to many towns in the Lanarkshire area. In addition to his comedy work, Patrick regularly comperes events, most notably the DVD "Lord Of The Wing" a film about football legend Jimmy Johnstone, which has so far sold in excess of 60,000 copies. He has twice compered the biggest St Patrick's Day festival in Scotland, and also participated in "The Stand-Up 150" in 2003, in which he and other comedians entered the Guinness Book of Records. Patrick also appeared in, and won an edition of the BBC quiz, "The Weakest Link" Patrick has also worked on stage at the Scottish Royal Academy of Drama & Music, demonstrating that his brand of humour crosses all barriers, and is an excellent after dinner speaker, much in demand simply because he can deliver a setto please and delight any audience. With diversity that knows no bound Patrick also reached number 17 in the UK charts in 2002 as a backing singer on the single "Best Day Of Our Lives". ----- Quentin has been writing comedy since 1998, with a host of TV and radio credits to his name. In 2003, the performing bug bit deep, and he ventured into the world of stand-up comedy. He has not stopped gigging since, and in a relatively short space of time has performed at many venues throughout the UK with much success. He has so far taken part in two Guinness Book of Records attempts, namely the Stand-Up 150 for the most comedians on stage ever in 2003, and One Big Laugh for the longest comedy gig ever in 2005. He has also appeared as a guest in numerous shows at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe. 2004 saw him make two TV appearances on local TV station Lanarkshire TV. Quentin described these appearances, which were witnessed by 6 viewers in the whole of the UK (and who were probably outnumbered by the TV station staff) as "The absolute pinnacle of my comedy career, if not my life!" 2005 saw him appear in the Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year Competition. He also was part of the successful Leicester Comedy Festival "In Ur Face Comedy" show featuring Scottish comedy legends Kirsty Moss, Patrick Rollink, and Perrier Award nominee Parrot. From Thurso to Torquay. Quentin's youthful energy, likeable stage persona, and excellent material has won him many fans and excellent reviews. When he's not performing he likes nothing more than working on other writing commitments or causing trouble with letters to newspapers under false names! However, it must be said that Quentin prides himself on original and clean material which any audience can warm to.

  9. mixtape presents BREAKBOT (Ed Banger) Snafu Friday 22nd January Doors 11pm Breakbot - aka Parisian Thibaut Berland - crafts party tunes. Big ones. Hes mastered the art of melting together all the best elements of dance, electro and funk with skill and precision. Born in the early eighties, Thibaut was immersed in the sights and sounds of the decade, and remained appropriately pulled between his love of animation, graphics (He helped So-Me on the design of the Justice debut album cover, as well as creating and directing several animated commercials and music vids) and music. Since then hes remixed for Pacific!, DatA, Late of the Pier, Metronomy, Pnau, Fatlip, Digitalism, Van She, with his remix of Justice's 'Let There Be Light' appearing on their Japanese 'Waters of Nazareth' 12". Thibaut now cooks up choice cut electronic music, experimenting with beats, layers, keyboards, vocals, and Daft Punk-esque get-yo-funk-on basslines. And was recently describes as Dudes basically Justice if they wrote songs about the beach and summertime and pool parties and shit instead of the whole epic religious/heavy metal imagery theyve chosen to embrace instead.f Currently working on his upcoming EP - expect big things.

Their Debut LP 'Nonsense In The Dark', released earlier this year, and featuring guest vocals from Samuel Dust (Late Of The Pier),Orlando Weeks (Maccabees) is decribed as what Daft Punks third album should have sounded like by the Independant on Sunday- a bold statement which bodes well for the future. Their recent FABRICLIVE 48 release is care-free and joyous, it's the sound of two mates, who know their music inside out, throwing their favourite records around the room. This is Filthy Dukes, and this is how they Kill Em All. Tickets available from Ticketweb, One-up and The Athenaeum Members 4 Advance 5 On the door 6

  13. Snafu New Years Special - RIVASTARR Snafu 2nd January Doors 11pm Riva Starr - aka Stef Miele - couldn't be hotter right now. It doesnt hurt that Claude VonStroke and Jesse Rose, the two men who sit on top of the pile, happen to be two of his biggest fans. Having doted up his first two releases for Claudes Dirtybird and Jesses Front Room in 2007, he followed these up with another two in 2008 as well as two more for Fatboy Slims Southern Fried Records and a 12 on Kindisch, the more techy sub-label of the brilliant Get Physical label in Berlin. The Riva Starr sound is very distinctive, often carrying that gypsy spirit, drawing influence from Balkan folk/rock. He describes his sound as Snatch!, although his good friend Laidback Luke recently described his style as Mezcla, a Spanish word used to describe a mixture of different things, which aptly applies to Stefs sound, with his World influences and eclectic beats. Youll hear it throughout his upcoming album If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade out on Made to Play in January, especially on the first single I Was Drunk, which features the self-edited video using footage from Balkan director Kusturica, raking up over 40,000 hits on YouTube. The Balkan sound is just one style that Riva Starr is known for, and throughout his set youll hear many twists and turns for that proper Mezcla experience.

During its infancy, the band worked and relentlessly rehearsed an extensive selection of covers. At the turn of 2007 the band began writing and rehearsing their own, original material whilst concurrently playing their first shows in Aberdeen and further afield. The Colour Proposals debut home grown album "(In The) Evening News" was recorded and released at the end of 2007. The Colour Proposal spent the rest of the 2008 writing and rehearsing a selection of new songs and in November of that year retreated to the recording studio. December 2008 saw the first release from those sessions with the single "(I Dont Know) Everything You Know" being released as a free-download. 2009 has begun strongly for The Colour Proposal with support slots with some of Scotlands top bands already under their belt, new songs in the pipeline and plans afoot for more releases.

  19. Snafu presents SNAFU COMEDY CLUB! Every Tuesday 4 entry every week Running every Tuesday like clockwork, the Snafu Comedy Club has managed to carve itself a wee niche in the ever-busy weekday-things-to-do-that-arent-clubbing market, which before it came along primarily consisted of going to the cinema, going bowling, or getting tanked on top of the St Nicholas centre. All of which are great in their own right, but lets face it, theres only so many films to see, only so many strikes to hit and only so many times you can get blind drunk outside WH Smith and wake up at 3 in the morning with your house keys missing and half your eye-brow shaved off (true story). Fortunately, there is a never ending supply of funny people. Every week the organisers of the snafu comedy club trawl the national comedy circuit to find those funny people, lures them up north and then watches as a group of punters split their side in the ONLY weekly comedy club in Aberdeen. With a constantly rotating line-up that reads like a whos-who of local and national talent, its easy to see why the club has received universally great write-ups and near-constant capacity crowds. Ok, so It sounds good but surely a comedy night with big names must break the bank? Nah pal. Its 4 EVERY week, regardless of whether theyre a national sell-out act or a local guy trying to supplement his dole cheque. To make it even sweeter, students get in for 2. 2! What night-out can you think of that gives you a whole evenings banter for just 2? I mean for that you can only catch 1/3 of a film, play just half a game of bowling and afford just half a bottle of cider probably for the best, that one though. Nobody wants to lose an eyebrow Check out SnafuComedy on MySpace Comedy - Comic Clips, Funny Videos & Jokes for upcoming listings!
