Show details:

Tom Houghton

Tom Houghton was previously 1/5th of comedy troupe "The Noise Next Door" and is now taking the comedy circuit by storm with his quick wit, and charming persona.

Regularly performing up and down the country and abroad - as well as touring the country in his own sell-out solo showss - you may even have caught him on Netflix's "The Circle", Channel Four's "First Dates Hotel", or at his sell-out debut Edinburgh Fringe show, which went on tour in early 2018. Tom is also hugely popular on social media, with millions of views across all platforms.

Strap in and be prepared to have your funny bones tickled and your levels of decency questioned by one of the hottest acts around.

“this unexpected tour de force warrants a 21-gun salute” - ★★★★ – The Daily Telegraph

Sammy Dobson

Sammy Dobson started her career at 14 in Byker Grove, and went on to appear in many BBC and ITV dramas and films including ‘I, Daniel Blake’. Her most recent TV credits include hit comedies such as 'Boy Meets Girl', and appearances in the first two series of Dave's award-winning 'Meet The Richardsons'.

Sammy decided to try stand up comedy for a charity event a few years ago and hasn’t stopped since! Sammy now appears at a number of the country’s top venues, and has performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe whilst also appearing in alternative pantomimes and sketch shows in her native Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.

“Shockingly funny... observational comedy Michael McIntyre couldn't possibly approach” - NARC Magazine

 

 

 

Mike Wardley

Mike Wardley is an up and coming act from the North East, who is quickly making a name for himself on the local circuit. With his wit, charm, and story telling abilities he will have you at ease and laughing in no time.

His observational style is very relatable with audiences and always leaves them wanting more, covering a wide range of subjects in his own unique style.

“Has natural funny bones and knows a joke inside out” - Raul Kohli. Comedian, actor, writer and broadcaster.

 

 

Lee Kyle

In his never ending quest not to have a proper job, Lee Kyle spent time as part of an all male Spice Girls tribute act before spending a decade as a professional wrestler.

Managing the difficult trick of being both odd and relatable, he did a show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013 that he heard was well received but he doesn't read reviews because his psyche is too fragile to handle them so he isn't totally sure what they said.

Armed with props and a rapid gag rate he cuts a confident, if off-beat figure on stage. His jokes veer between the clever and the silly and deliver more than their fair share of belly laughs.

“Had everyone on their feet - Sublimely ridiculous” - The Northern Echo
