Michael Fabbri-The Laughter Factory

In a world where intelligence is a status symbol, where does the real stupidity lie? Michael Fabbri thinks he knows - he's been called stupid all his life, and he's been searching for a cure. Is it really possible to heal the thick?

Specialising in "what if?" questions and situations pushed to ridiculous extremes he has an abrasive, leftfield oddness that lifts him above the herd. Although at first glance he looks like a typical slacker comic, Fabbri is always an outsider. His staring, mildly Marty Feldman-like eyes and awkward, apologetic onstage manner steer him firmly away from the alpha-male mainstream, forcing the impression that here is someone who's never quite fitted in.

Fabbri's isolation provides the ideal backdrop for his startlingly insightful, Martian-like deconstructions of the most unpromising everyday things, from public address announcements at village fetes to the extraordinary commercial possibilities thrown up by the packaging of jam.

"Hilarious stories and brilliant writing...one of the most highly-rated acts on the circuit" - Ents24.com

"One to watch...Michael Fabbri has already got a sure grasp of the tics and tricks of observational stand-up" - The Guardian

"Hugely enjoyable" - The Scotsman
