Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Carl Hutchinson, MC Hammersmith, and host Pete Otway

Show details:

Carl Hutchinson

One of the hardest working touring acts in the UK, Carl Hutchinson has recently performed several sell-out tours of the UK, following support dates with Chris Ramsey on his tour of arenas and large theatres.

Carl is a multi-award winning comedian, having won the Beat The Frog World Series and Magners Comedian of the year awards in 2007. He's also a Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Nominee and So You Think You’re Funny Finalist, was seen on ITV's FHM Comedy Hero and performed at the highly respected Big Value Comedy Showcase in Edinburgh in 2011.

Carl supported former three-time wrestling heavyweight champion and bestselling author Mick Foley on both of his UK Comedy Tours; in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Carl then supported Chris Ramsey on the last leg of his ‘Offermation’ tour in 2012, has performed several sell-out Edinburgh festival runs since his festival debut show in 2012, which was shortlisted in the Amused Moose Awards and received outstanding reviews from all of the major festival press.

“Effortlessly hilarious. He captivates the audience with his perfectly timed suspenseful silences and plain-talking sense-making” - ★★★★ - Three Weeks

“An absolute must... the next big thing!” - The Skinny

“The comedy catalyst to a great night out” - Three Weeks

“Hutchinson’s trump card is the way he interacts with the audience, rolling with every ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ his material generated, giving a dynamism and spontaneity to his performance” - Chortle

MC Hammersmith

2018 Scottish Comedy Award Best Newcomer
2017 UK Improv Smackdown Champion

MC Hammersmith (aka Will Naameh, the skinny posh one from Men With Coconuts, Spontaneous Sherlock and Spontaneous Potter) is an award-winning freestyle rap improvisational comedian.

He is the world’s leading gangsta rapper to ever emerge from the ghetto of middle class white west London.

Now based in Edinburgh, he performs across the UK and worldwide. He is the 2017 UK Improv Smackdown Champion, and the 2018 Scottish Comedy Award Best Newcomer, and has been seen on BBC Scotland and STV.

“An exceptionally dazzling performance... utterly enthralled” - The Skinny

“The funniest rapper in the world” - Culross Festival

“A shy, somewhat repressed ex-public school attendee blazing through an incredible freestyle rap” - The Wee Review

Pete Otway

Since starting to perform in 2010, Pete Otway has quickly gained momentum, establishing himself as an extremely strong new act. As comfortable and confident as an MC as he is an act, he is booked regularly to do both, and was a recent finalist in the 2012 BBC New Comedy Awards.

With an affable and conversational style, mixed with an energetic stage manner and original writing, Pete is quickly making a name for himself on the UK circuit, and is certainly one to watch.

“Devastatingly funny” - Chortle

“Amiable, cheeky classic stand-up” - Liverpool Echo

“An amazing comedy talent, and we are making sure we are making sure we follow his every move in his ever rising career” - Crispy Comedy Club

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