Act 3: Gerry K

Gerry’s comedy career started out as an actual result of a dare! It wasn’t long before Gerry was headlining all the major comedy clubs across the UK. Along his journey he scooped several worthy comedy awards including, The Comedy Store’s ‘King Gong’ Hailing from rural Essex and when growing up, a rare black face in a near totally white area (defiantly not your stereo typical Essex boy image) Gerry brings to life his very own perspective on the matter. On the corporate circuit, he is a very popular choice of act partly due to his upbeat, energetic and likeable personality. Described as ‘Anecdotal, observational and refreshingly honest’ in style, an evening in his company is defiantly not one wasted.
