Big Dick Energy - Work-in-Progress
  • London Fringe

Dick Denham is a non-binary thirtysomething comedian based in London, originally from the Isle of Wight. A hit with queer and straight crowds alike, Dick has audiences in stitches with their surreal observations on being genderqueer in a heteronormative world, and the aspects of British culture that we all love to be indifferent about normally.

A graduate of the Angel Comedy Intro to Stand-up course, Dick has performed as a stand-up and emcee since 2017 in a variety of pubs, clubs, and theatres in London, Edinburgh, Brighton, and beyond. They were a semi-finalist in the 2Northdown New Act Competition 2021, and were joint Runner-Up runner-up in the Comedy Bloomers LGBTQ+ New Act Competition 2022.

In this debut one-hour Work-in-Progress at The Glory, Dick takes the banality of everyday life and cleverly - and queerly - subverts it: you'll never experience a branch of Holland & Barratt the same way again!

The show will be opened by the award-winning Victoria Melody ("one of the most charming independent performance-makers in Britain" - The Times), fresh from her run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

What people say about Dick:

So much fun Ella Vaday, Runner-up, Ru Pauls Drag Race UK Series 3

Very, very funny [Dick] takes subject matter that most comedy audiences will not have heard jokes about and makes them palatable and accessible brilliant Scott Capurro, actor and comedian

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
