Getting giddy with the giggles since 2012
Comedy Buoys was born in a Facebook post in 2012 when Paul Dunn openly mused about putting on a comedy night in Lowestoft. The landlord of his local pub at the time, The Carlton, saw the post and invited him to arrange just that. With a borrowed PA and absolutely no clue, Comedy Buoys was born.
Now Comedy Buoys puts on premier comedy shows featuring high-profile acts at theatre venues across East Anglia and beyond.
About Paul
Founder and Director Paul Dunn wears several hats. With a professional background in Property Asset Management, he brings the business sensibilities that have served him well into the arena of Comedy Promotion, Booking, Theatre Direction and now Podcasting.
“Nurturing valuable and and enjoyable business relationships are a key part of our ethos. Nothing is possible without understanding that.”
Paul is a family guy who also loves spicy food, beer, comedy, music, football and marathon running.
About Ross
Ross Downes is a key player in the Comedy Buoys’ success, helping Paul put on shows far and wide. Ross first became Comedy Buoys’ most important wingman back in 2015 when Paul threw him on stage as a wild card on a line-up that included Sara Pascoe. The pair have been good friends and collaborators ever since.
Ross, now an offshore sales professional, is also an avid beer enthusiast, podcaster, and self-confessed comedy fanboy with an enviable collection of selfies with comics. Ross also very much enjoys travelling around the globe with his lovely wife.

About Callum
Callum first joined the Comedy Buoys team while working in technical production at Seckford Theatre, becoming part of the setup when Paul first brought WCB Comedy to Woodbridge.
He began working in tech at just 16 and turned professional at 18. Since then, he has built up experience across a wide range of live events, from comedy shows and musicals to festivals.
Away from the tech desk, Callum enjoys playing video games and occasionally strumming away on his electric guitar.
