27/01/2012 - SHOWBIZWORKS PRODUCE COMEDY CARPET LIVE WEEKEND - Showbizworks appointed to create and produce weekend of comedy for Blackpool with headliners Barry and Stuart from The Magician's

You'd be a fool to miss out on the laughs taking place in Blackpool this April as Marketing Blackpool has announced the launch of Comedy Carpet Live, a festival of shows created and produced by Showbizworks taking place over April Fool's weekend, 31st March and 1st April 2012. It is set to become an annual celebration the week before Easter, and is inspired by Blackpool's latest piece of public artwork, The Comedy Carpet on the Tower Festival Headland.

Natalie Wyatt, Managing Director of Marketing Blackpool said: "This event complements the success of the Comedy Carpet on the Tower Festival Headland and has been planned to help to kick start the season by bringing in visitors early for Easter. We intend to make this an annual event as Blackpool is steeped in comedy heritage making the town perfect for supporting new and established talent."

The live shows kick off on Saturday evening at 9.30pm, with the Merrie England Bar on North Pier hosting an adult comedy show starring Manchester based group Slaughterhouse Live. They already have a cult following on the comedy circuit and have had their own show on Granada, but incredibly, this will be their debut performance in Blackpool. Following sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, a critic from The List said: "This five-strong comedy cabaret pulsates with enough anarchic energy to power a small European principality."

On Sunday afternoon at North Pier Theatre, Comedy 4 Kids will provide something for children and families with an hour long show featuring CBBC and Royal Variety Show stars Big Howard and Little Howard; Show Me The Funny finalist Stuart Goldsmith; and Comedy 4 Kids star Tiernan Douieb, the latter of whom hopes to go on Dragon's Den to present his idea of putting zips on pitta breads!

The weekend culminates with the Comedy Carpet Live Gala Show at The Grand Theatre starring comedy illusionists Barry and Stuart from BBC television's prime time show The Magicians. Also on the bill will be musical comedy double act Frisky and Mannish (as heard on BBC Radio 1 and stars of their own sell out London Hammersmith Apollo and Edinburgh shows); ‘children's entertainer' Jeremy Lion (alter ego of Justin Edwards from Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week); comedy legend Bernie Clifton, who is featured on the promenade's Comedy Carpet; and Chris Ramsay, soon to be seen in his own BBC series, complete the line up. Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be Jason Cook who has appeared on various TV comedy shows including Russell Howard's Good News.

Martin explained: "We wanted to create an event that could grow and evolve into something that would eventually drive significant business into the town by extending the start of the traditional season. Marketing Blackpool share that vision and Comedy Carpet Live will help to raise the profile of the new regenerated Blackpool and position the town as a platform for more contemporary artistes. We have tried to reflect this in the line-up of artistes with a nod to comedy legends. Many of the performers have not been seen in the town before and we are keen to break new ground with this event each year by placing Blackpool firmly back on the map for attracting the best comedy talent."

Tickets for the shows are available from 10am on Monday 30 January. For further information, or to book tickets, please click Visit Blackpoolor call 01253 478222

18/02/2010 - BLAKE NOMINATED FOR CLASSICAL BRITS AWARD - BLAKE nominated for Classical Brits Award for Album of the Year

Classical boyband BLAKE, solely represented by Showbizworks for corporate events, today announce that their latest album, Together, has been nominated for Album Of The Year at the 2010 Classical BRIT Awards to be held in May.

BLAKE's Jules Knight – "We're over the moon that we have been nominated for a Classical BRIT Award. As the underdogs in this competition we're hoping everyone will get behind us.

Together is our first independent album, made entirely without a major label, so this is a very special honour for us."

Stephen Bowman concurs - "We were amazed and utterly humbled to hear that we'd been nominated. So many people told us that independent artists never get put up for this award; we gave up hope! We feel like the small shop owners up against the corporate supermarkets; but it's up to the public vote, so fingers crossed!'

The group last won Album Of The Year at the Classical BRITS for their debut album, BLAKE, in 2008.

Watch classical crossover boy band Blake on This Morning tomorrow, Monday 21st December 2009. Showbizworks.com has been appointed as sole agents for all Blake's corporate and private bookings and as the UK's answer to Il Divo these four handsome guys have already toured with Katherine Jenkins and appeared at major events all over the world. Bridging the gap between pop and opera they took the music industry by storm, releasing their debut album ‘Blake' in November 2007 which went straight to Number One in the UK Classical Album Chart and hit the top 20 of the UK Pop Album Chart. The British public welcomed such a fresh, new sound in music and wholeheartedly embraced the alternative versions of timeless classics such as the Beach Boys' ‘God only knows' and many others, all recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The support and appreciation of the public was soon apparent, within three weeks the album had attained Gold status in the UK and in May 2008 they found themselves at the Royal Albert Hall receiving the Album of the Year Award at the Classical BRITS. They now have a brand new album out and they will be singing a track from it for Phil and Holly tomorrow morning. For more information click Blake or telephone 0845 638 1808.
