Gloucester Guildhall Presents - The Big Laugh featuring Marlon Davis
Gloucester Guildhall Presents - The Big Laugh featuring Marlon Davis
16th June 2010
With a Brown Eyed Boy series on MTV under his belt, Marlon Davis is a bright young comedian, improviser, actor and presenter who embraces his work with energy and charm, embodying his characters and delivering his material with skillful observations.
Still a relative newcomer, Marlon Davis bursts on to the stage like a breath of fresh air, with impish grin, boyish enthusiasm and an effortlessly open, confident style that instantly wins him friends in the audience.
His material is developing to match his presence, too, ditching the derivative Def Comedy Jam-inspired rabble-rousing with which he started on the circuit, in favour of a well-observed routine about the different lifestyles of his separated mother and father. There's a loosely topical angle to some of his material, with routines about how Barack Obama has changed attitudes to race, or BNP leader Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time, but it's light and mischievous, rather than working to any agenda.
His short set is solidly constructed, too, with a nice line in running gags, but most of all, he comes across as an engaging, naturally funny young man
Crowned winner of the broadcast FHM Search For A Stand-up Competition, and finalist in 3 other national comedy awards, Marlon works all over the UK doing sets, compering and headlining, including being a huge hit at the 1800 capacity Leicester Comedy Festival's Preview Show, London's Comedy Store, Comedy Café, Lee Hursts' fymfyg, Birmingham Drum and Croydon Clocktower. His radio work includes BBC5 Live and BBC 1Xtra.
