Phil Butler shamelessly uses every gimmick in the book, whether it's cheap conjuring tricks, ventriloquism, pounding backing music or repeatedly asking the crowd to give him a cheer.
At this weekend's Krater, he's joined by Marcus Birdman, who brings with him silly songs, preposterous props and tall tales, and cool Irishman Andrew Maxwell (winner of E4's King of Comedy 2004).
Hosts are John Richardson (Friday and Saturday) and Stephen Grant (Sunday).
Time vary. Tickets £5-£15. Call 01273 647100.
