About Us - Up The Arts Comedy

2 people have nurtured the club:VERITY WELCH has little understanding about what true comedy is all about, but she knows she likes it and she lives it! Life is not a dress rehearsal so Verity exists with perpetual first night nerves. A graduate from the school of hard knockers, wine, fags and cherry blossom. Slightly odd, rather disturbing, deluded and eager to please. Verity is forever young and always takes to the stage with an empty head and a half full glass ? which isn?t appropriate for woman of her age and status.Hackney Empire New Act of Year finalist 2002. Appearences on ITV 2 Gagging For it.??her bizarre act comprised some great gags? Unique and very funny.?

He switched via music journalism into devising, co-writing and producing stage plays which featured, "plenty of vulgarity and swearing, as well as... depictions of lesbianism, child abuse, abortion and police corruption" - Surrey Advertiser.The obvious move into writing pornography followed but he's now prepared to put his liver on the line for comedy."Always amusing" TIME OUT
