Crackhouse presents Dave Thompson
(January 31 – February 1)
Weekend Headliner nights. You know them, you love them the best comedy nights in KL. And you are in for a treat this weekend. English stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Dave Thompson first gained notoriety in 1997, when he was fired from the role of Tinky Winky in the Teletubbies. But that hasn't stopped Dave from conquering the global comedy circuit. From the US to Sweden, from Poland to Dubai, Dave has also appeared on various TV programmes such as 'Harry Hill's TV Burp' and 'Al Murray's The Pub Landlord'. Not to mention his work with world renown comedians Ronnie Corbett, Bruce Forsyth, and Omid Djalili, to name a few. His signature physical absurdism has entertained audiences across the world and he's only gotten weirder since his Teletubby days.
