Tony’s comedy career began with him winning the New Act competition at Glastonbury Festival in 1995. A lot of Law’s earlier material featured tales of his time-travelling exploits in the company of his sausage dog, Cartridge Davison. Cartridge is the eponymous “Dog Of Time” from his Edinburgh show of the same name, and has appeared with Law on ITV’s Comedy Cuts TV show.
Law performed on Russell Howard’s Good News in April 2011 as part of one of the extended episodes called Russell Howard’s Good News Extra. Law has also appeared on the satirical music-based panel game Never Mind the Buzzcocks, BBC One show Have I Got News for You, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Comedy Central UK’s The Alternative Comedy Experience. In August 2012, Tony returned to the Edinburgh Fringe to perform his new show, Tony Law: Maximum Nonsense. The show was nominated for best comedy show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
WORLD-FAMOUS PRANKSTER AND CREATOR OF THE HUGELY POPULAR LEE NELSON, SIMON BRODKIN STARS AS SPECIAL GUEST AT COMEDY LOUNGE!
In 2017, Channel 4 show Britain’s Greatest Hoaxer followed Simon as he planned and executed three huge stunts. Simon surrounded US President Donald Trump, at the opening of one of his golf courses, with 60 swastika-emblazoned golf balls, “as part of the new Trump Golfing range”. He attached a 25-foot sign to the side of shamed former BHS owner Sir Philip Green’s £100m superyacht, renaming it the ‘BHS Destroyer’. Simon went on Britain’s Got Talent, incognito, as the ultra-orthodox Jewish rapper Steven Goldblatt (aka ‘The Rapping Rabbi’), fooling Simon Cowell and the other judges to win four ‘yeses’. It wasn’t his first run-in with Cowell. Simon had previously managed to get on to the X Factor stage during a live show, singing along “as the ninth member” of the boyband Stereo Kicks.
Simon’s stand-up show, 100% Simon Brodkin (2020), was selected by The Guardian and The Evening Standard as one of their ‘Best Comedy Shows’ at the Edinburgh Festival.
