If you missed comedian Wes Zaharuk perform at Alexander’s in Chester the other month, he is back this Saturday to bring you one of the zaniest shows on the market.

Zaharuk credits his comic roots to his parents. They made ‘not listening’ an Olympic event.

As a child, his parents dressed him in wool pants that were incredibly itchy. Complain as he would, his words fell on deaf ears.

When he developed a skin condition that looked like a large, all-dressed pizza, he was tested for allergies. It was found that he was allergic to wool.

Through it all, Wes developed his desire to be heard — if only to reduce rash.

About the use of props in his performance Wes quips: “Show business sometimes lures people who didn't get enough love early in life. I feel as a child I didn't get enough unsupervised time with power tools but who has perfect parents?”

Early in his career Zaharuk’s fast paced razor wit and tornado-like approach to comedy caught on quickly.

Soon he became one of the most requested comedians at clubs, colleges,and major corporations through North America.

Wes Zaharuk has performed around the world and his television experience takes him back to the days of SCTV and Bizarre.

He can be seen at Alexander’s on Saturday (January 14). Doors 8pm. Admission £12, discounted to £10 for comedy club members. Visit www.alexanderslive.com or call 01244 340 005.
