TWO more one-hour pre-Fringe comedy shows are being performed at Funny First Mondays at the Waterend Barn in St Albans next week.

Paul Sinha is taking his brand-new show 39 Years of Solitude to the Edinburgh Fringe this year and previewing it first on Monday.

Paul was hugely popular at Funny First Mondays last year for his crisp one-liners and universal anecdotes. His background as a gay Asian MP is part of his original and consistently funny performance style which has earned him appearances on the BBC's Loose Ends and The Now Show.

Nik Coppin previews his Edinburgh show Loquacious at the Waterend Barn. Also a favourite at Funny First Mondays, he is a popular comic and compere both nationally and internationally.

He has recently returned from appearing at the Adelaide Fringe and his fourth year at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

The comedy starts at 8pm and admission is �5. Further information is available from www.starts.org.uk or by ringing 01727 863648 or contacting funnyfirstmondays@yahoo.co.uk
