Behind the Curtain at ROFL Comedy Club - Introducing the ROFL Comedy Club Podcast - Behind the Curtain
play

11/11/19 • 5 min

Behind a black curtain, in the glorious town of Newcastle Under Lyme, exists arguably the poshest, most luxurious red "green" room of any comedy club in the UK... possibly the world.

A brand new venue for an established club, this is worlds apart from the previous ROFL green room, a cupboard sized box, with a Del Boy paint job, dodgy heating and a permanently leaking tap.

We've upgraded for our 5th anniversary and it was worth it!

To celebrate this, the first episode of Behind the Curtain, co-hosts Cokey and Franki Falkow introduce you to the ROFL Comedy Club Podcast.

Learn more about the club itself and what it's like behind the scenes as they try to avoid talking about the club's owner, Lee Jones Jnr. who has specifically asked not to be mentioned.

Sorry Lee.

We'll be bringing you interviews from the best and brightest comedians working the British and International circuits, but on this episode Cokey and Franki explain what you can expect to hear on the show.

Tune in to episode 2 which is available right now to truly go behind the curtain.

Make sure to check out the ROFL YouTube channel to watch the comedians in action.

In the latest episode of Behind the Curtain at ROFL Comedy Club hosts Cokey and Franki Falkow chat to Jeff Innocent and Wouter Meijs.

The one and only Jeff Innocent is visiting the wonderland that is Stoke for the first time and tells us an amazing story of his first comedy gig at the age of 41.

Wouter Meijs, a keen cyclist, fills us in on his passion for cycling and how soon you'll be able to see him in lycra on stage.

About Jeff:

Jeff Innocent is a popular and experienced stand up comedian, actor, writer and cultural commentator. As a stand up comedian he has reached near legendary status among his peers and audience alike by staying at the top of his game for over 15 years. He was voted Best Live Club Comedian 2016 AT the UK Comedy Awards and was Runner Up for 2013, 2014 and 2015, won Best In Fest at the Norwich Comedy Festival 2014 and was nominated in the 2015 Chortle Awards Best Live Club Act category. His unique appeal lies in the contrast between his East End ‘Geezer’ appearance and demeanour, and his educated, philosophical delivery and subject matter. Inspiring the guardian to describe him as a comedian with, ‘The body of a nightclub bouncer and the brains of a university boffin’.
