About

PART OF COLCHESTER FRINGE FESTIVAL

By Paul Merryck (Chelmsford, England)

Come along for a hilarious lock-in session of top-quality gags, tales and anecdotes from the wrong side of the marshes. Or put more simply…Lies, Alibis and Filthy Stories.

Paul Merryck is an Essex based comedian who has been making a name for himself as one of the more original and outrageous character acts on the UK comedy circuit. Feckless, amoral and utterly unabashed, the middle-aged chancer he portrays disdainfully deconstructs the disaster that is his life in a hilarious sequence of gags and anecdotes.

Essex Comedian of the Year Finalist 2019

Press
"The Essex bloke is something of a geezer …plenty of showbiz patter…. his set proves very effective…. gag-focussed delivery…. high laugh rate…. you'd think that the spirit of Mike Reid is alive and well" (Chortle)

"Paul Merryck's good-natured, gag-laden banter made for a fun, uplifting set with lots of charm" (Phoenix FM)
