Addy Van Der Borgh

photo of Addy Van Der Borgh A superb stand-up comedian, Addy recently co-presented 20 shows of "TV Meltdown" for Sky One. Hugely versalile, brilliant for colourful characters.

A fantastic mimic and clown as well as a brilliant writer, Addy has a breathtaking plethora of voices and characters which enliven his wide range of subject matter, from the drab (computers, libraries) to the delightful (booze, women). Addy has built a following of fans not just in all the major clubs in Britain (Comedy Store, Jongleurs, Banana Cabaret, Up the Creek, The Comedy Café) but also worldwide, including Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and the Cape Town Comedy Festival in South Africa. Addy was also the only British comic invited to appear in the Twentieth Century Fox comedy showcase in Los Angeles, in September 2003 and has also performed a sell-out run at the New Zealand Comedy Festival 2006.
