Stand-Up for the Bombeiros
The Surf Experience traded laughs for money when they hosted their stand-up comedy night at Mullens on the 23rd May.
Surf Experience ́s Toby Millage, once more delved into his impressive contact list to bring professional stand-ups to the Algarve. The three comedians enjoyed some surfing and treated the local community to some laughs in return for cash for the Bombeiros volunteers.
The event raised €275 for the Bombeiros thanks to Ryan Cullen, Barry Castagnola and Gareth Waugh.
Irish comedian Ryan is a Comedian and comedy Writer for RTF’s Republic of Telly and Callan’s Kicks. Barry is an actor, comedian and writer whose TV appearances include the Stand UP Show and Net. Comedy. He had the audience in stitches with his encyclopedic knowledge of Lagos!
Edinburgh-based comedian and writer Gareth Waugh was described by the BBC as “One of the fastest rising stars of the Scottish comedy circuit”. The two-time Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist and winner of Radio Forth’s Big Comedy Audition has appeared on numerous radio shows, but met his match in Lagos, when being heckled by a man from Porto! He claimed even at the Edinburgh Fringe festival he had never been interrupted so much!
Toby says; “It's small drop in the ocean but shows what can be raised through entertainment.” If you missed this one then watch this space as Toby hopes there will be another Stand-up event in October.
