Brief Description
Sam may have only reached the tender age of 23, but there’s nothing soft about this type of comedy. Fast cementing himself as one of the sharpest and most vicious young acts on the circuit, he’s already snapping at the heels of his more established peers. Come see for yourself - this boy’s got bite.

Biography
Sam is a relative newcomer to stand with only 2 years under his belt, but in that time he has attracted more than a little attention, not least with him cleaning up and winning almost every new act competition in the country. Sam can be seen this year at the Edinburgh Fringe festival as the special guest English comic in “Best of Scottish” at the Underbelly and in the Laughing Horse’s Showcase as part of the Free Festival.

Press

“Sam Gore’s act is so harsh and abrasive you could probably polish diamonds with it. His persona is that of a supercilious, arrogant and snide nihilist whose unremitting tide of poisonously disdainful insults are delivered with an ever-patronising sneer. He uses multiple pile-ups of venomous adjectives to powerful effect, producing laughs from the sheer ferocity of his attacks. ‘I can be a bit offensive,’ he admits, which is about the only sentence he utters that contains understatement… a class act indeed.”

"A sharp and fast-paced young stand-up….clever and acerbic. I was not the only audience member who would have liked to have seen more from this brave and edgy performer."
