  • Funny Rabbit Comedy Club: Mary O Connell and Jonny Pelham

    • Funny Rabbit Comedy Club – Friday 14th March 2025

    Mary O Connell

    Mary O’Connell is a comedian, writer and North London socialite. Her stage presence is dangerously aloof and despite her two degrees she’s always been too cool for school. Her left field view makes for hilarious and absurd material.

    Mary has completed a Creator Residency at Baby Cow Productions and then worked there as a Development Producer. She has written for The Emily Atack Show on ITV2 and The Now Show on Radio 4. She supported her comedy hero Tig Notaro during her UK tour and gigs literally all over. Mary can also be seen on the Only Fans Comedy Creative fun show on Only Fans TV.

    Jonny Pelham

    Jonny Pelham is one of the most exciting stand-up comedians on the circuit.

    Most recently Jonny has appeared on Rosie Jones’s Disability Comedy Extravaganza (UKTV)  as well as Live from the BBC (BBC3), Mock The Week (BBC2), Russell Howard’s stand-up Central (Comedy Central) and Live at the Apollo (BBC2).

    Jonny is also an in-demand comedy writer and actor having appeared in the Viceland series, Bobby & Harriet Getting Married, as well as his own short film released as part the Sky Comedy Shorts season, Late Bloomer (Sky Arts). Jonny is currently developing a number of projects, both scripted and unscripted, for TV, and has written and starred in his own Channel 4 Comedy Blap, Brad Boyz (E4).

    Jonny’s critically acclaimed Edinburgh show, Off Limits, saw him winning the Beyond The Fringe Herald Angel Award. It received ample praise, critical acclaim and five star reviews, The Herald describing it as an ‘intensely moving and consistently funny set’, while EdFestMag calls it ‘a truly remarkable show’.

    ART31

    ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

    ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

    The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
