Bearcat Comedy Club, Turks Head, St Margarets
Saturday, May 21 – Joke-slinger Dominic Holland joins the stand-up bill for this week's show at the Bearcat.
While a highly successful comedian in his own right, with many appearances on radio and TV, Dom has the distinction of not even being the most famous person in his own household.
For he is the dad one of the hottest names in Hollywood in the shape of Spider-man, Tom Holland.
Dominic is a south west London resident, while Tom was raised the area. At the same time, the actor and his co-star and girlfriend, Zendaya, are rumoured to have bought a home together in the borough.
Later this year sees the release of the audio book 'Eclipsed' where Dom happily recounts how this hapless Dad became overshadowed by his offspring.
It promises to be a heartfelt story of good fortune, serendipity and sheer hard work.
The Bearcat is regularly attracting some of the most famous names in comedy including recent shows by Greg Davies and Rich Hall.
Bearcat said: "Perrier Award-winning Dominic has an acute eye for people's idiosyncrasies, weaving minute details and observations into his material. His engaging stage presence gives his shows a real intimacy and warmth.
"As one of the country's most respected comedians, he is performing at theatres all over the country."
Saturday's stellar line-up also includes Craig Hill, Gordon Southern and Christopher MacArthur-Boyd.
