Addy van der Borgh is a character comic and physical performer whose work combines sharp stand-up, voices and a restless theatrical imagination. A regular at The Comedy Store for more than two decades, he has built a reputation for making a room feel involved, whether he is working through characters, taking an unexpected route into a story or finding the laugh in the detail of the moment.
His career has included headline work across the UK and internationally, festival runs in Edinburgh, Adelaide, New Zealand and South Africa, and television and radio appearances including Sky One's TV Meltdown and Radio 4's Loose Ends. He studied clowning and physical theatre at LAMDA, skills that give his comedy an unusually visual edge.
Van der Borgh is a strong choice for audiences who want a proper live performer as well as a stand-up. His experience, range and willingness to play with the room make him particularly effective for comedy clubs, cabaret-style events and lively corporate audiences.
