Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Karen Bayley, Peter Brush, and host Aaron Twitchen

Show details:

Karen Bayley

Karen Bayley

Karen began her comedy career back in 2000 and since then has gone from strength to strength. Her bold, no nonsense attitude strikes a perfect pitch with men and women alike, and she is equally at home compering or performing sets.

Karen is also resident compere of her own clubs in Sutton Coldfield and Solihull, with her claim to fame to date being that she was the first woman (in its history) to win the King Gong show at The Comedy Store.

Karen has also worked in TV and radio, including appearances on the BBC New Comedy Awards (BBC3), 
The Last Word (ITV1), 
Sex on the Job (Sky 1), and 
100 Greatest Cartoons (Channel 4).


“Laugh out loud jokes and superb audience control” - Chortle

“Likeable headstrong persona- packing a considerable performing punch” - The List

“She blew my socks off” - BBC

 

Peter Brush

Peter Brush

A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.

Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of it’s biggest festivals, he has also played shows in Switzerland, Norway and Hungary. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour. Other acts he has supported on tour include Jonathan Pie, Jason Manford, Fern Brady, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha.


“compellingly hilarious... first-class gag writing... an original and achingly funny voice” - ★★★★½ - Chortle

“I love Peter Brush, what a comic” - Jason Manford

“unique observations and connections that stand-ups crave” - The Guardian

“He’s a great comic” - BBC Radio 4 Saturday Review

 

Aaron Twitchen

Aaron Twitchen

Aaron Twitchen is a stand up, actor, aerialist, and living stereotype.

As well as featuring on BBC Radio 4, he was listed in Metro's top 5 RomComs and has provided tour support for Luisa Omielan. He has also been releasing his sketch series, DiscoBlonde, in weekly instalments, and in its first six weeks it has enjoyed upwards of eighteen thousand views.

Away from comedy, Aaron has supported bands at music festivals, and is an accomplished stage actor and improviser. Unusually, he is also a trained circus act, concentrating particularly on aerial skills and trapeze work, which has allowed him to tour circus theatres throughout the country and teach young people.


“Twitchen's a terrific host, kind and self-deprecating with plenty of catty put-downs” - The Skinny

“Twitchen is an assured stand-up and navigates both his material and his venue with style... He is a flexible improviser, in tune with the spirit of live comedy” - Broadway Baby

“Hilarious, warm, energetic and capable of busting some serious moves. Twitchen is a quadruple threat” - The Skinny

 

This show will also feature a newer act in the middle.
