We’d like to wish you all and very Merry Christmas and most prosperous New Year.
Here at Gag Reflex, we’ve had an incredible year. Here’s a self indulgent look back via the wonder of youtube.
The year got off to an excellent start with both Steve Shanyaski and The Boy with Tape on his Face appearing on ITV’1 Comedy Rocks.
Lili La Scala and The Boy helped raise money for the victims of the earthquakes in Christchurch NZ.
We signed the fantastic Australian comic Mickey D, Manchester mega misanthrope Michael J Dolan and the sublime Alex Boardman.
Edinburgh was of course heady, but a big success with Lili La Scala as mesmerising as ever on The BBC Review Show and The Boy dominating BBC3s coverage.
Then there was the BBC Comedy Prom, with The Boy appearing alongside Tim Minchin at a sold out Albert Hall.
Phil Ellis and The Boy taking chaos to a different dimension with technology at the Twitter experiment in London.
Danny Pensive once again toured the country as special guest for One Man Star Wars. Taking in such cultural delights as Scarborough and Great Yarmouth.
And we finished the year off in fine style with Steve Shanyaski and The Boy both performing on the Royal Command at the Lowry.
We look forward to 2012 with three tours hitting the road – The Boy, Lili La Scala and Mick Miller with Jimmy Cricket.
Have a fantastic Christmas, and we look forward to working with you in the New Year.
We are very proud to announce our shows that will be hitting the road in Autumn of 2012.

“I’m over the moon! It’s an honour to be chosen to perform to Royalty, alongside some of the nations favourite comedians and entertainers. My Great Grandfather performed a comedy “farmyard impressions” routine to Queen Mary in the Royal Variety Performance many years ago, so it’s amazing to think I have the opportunity to represent my family again, almost a century later, in another Royal Performance.”
