Popcorn comedy @ Roxy Bar and Screen
Popcorn Comedy presents some of the funniest online videos alongside live performances from some of the best comics on the circuit. This week accompanying the on-screen fun is 2009 Eddie 'Best Newcomer' nominee Carl Donnelly and hilarious character comedian Adam Riches.
Speaking to Donnelly about what he had in store for this month's Popcorn he told us: "I'll be showing some bad film trailers I made with some friends when I was younger. One of them is called Dirty Work 2. It's a half-bad-cop, half-alien film starring a cop called Dom Howitzer who gets into all sorts of dirty work! I play a Spanish drug lord who gets killed but comes back from the future as a part-robot."
