wpe26.jpg (8998 bytes)A free, live, comedy documentary shot in Kevin's car. Join Kevin and friends as they live the dream. Each show will include a different comedian from the many road trips performing live.

Each year thousands of comics travel thousands of miles in pursuit of their dream and ultimate goal, to make people laugh. Hovering a fair few rungs below the household names, the plight of these talented comedians is little known. Now, thanks to a dodgy camera borrowed from a university, in his trusty diesel Rover, Kevin Shepherd has managed to catch these unsung heroes in their natural habitat.

Stars from the car include: Al Pitcher, Rufus Hound, Hal Cruttenden, Arron Counter, Papa CJ, Dan Willis, Pommy Johnson, Janice Phayre, Dougie Dunlop, Rob Deb, Shelly Cooper, Mike Belgrave, David Ward, Martin Davis, Peter Dominic, Pam Ford,
Mike Manera, Steve Parry……

wpe22.jpg (7679 bytes)"Kevin Shepherd is a charismatic young man with a sharp wit and cheeky humour the audience was taunted, with varying degrees of force. But only the faint-hearted or excessively squeamish failed to warm to such an amiable battering, and, after all, audience involvement is what stand-up is all about." - Bahrain Extra. Bahrain.

"He then gave way to Kevin Shepherd, who packed the next 20 or so minutes with as many jokes as some comedians manage in an hour. He switched between anecdotal and punchline based humour with ease, and left us eager for more." - BBC Lincolnshire.

"Assured stage presence, deadpan delivery and good gags." - Last Laugh. Sheffield.

"Kevin's friendly face and light touch comedy was a hit with the Knutters. He got hold of the audience and held them to the end, they really listened and laughed." - King Knut's Club. Peterborough.

"Cuts a confident and assured figure." - Chortle.

"A charming young chap with cheek, humour, wit and a smooth delivery that would do any midwife proud. Lots of life, lots of gags and quite a few kids to his name." - Jester Laugh Comedy Club. Bournemouth.
