Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Freddy Quinne, Howard Walker, Jeannie Jones, and host Rob Mulholland
Show details:

Freddy Quinne
Co-host of the hugely popular 'Dead Men Talking' podcast, award-winning comedian Freddy Quinne is a regular at many of the biggest and best comedy clubs in the country where he performs his shamelessly opinionated, no-holds-barred stand up. He is known for his frank approach and often brutal punchlines, covering everything from topical news to universal truths.
His Amazon Prime comedy special Quite The Catch has had over half a million views. He also has hours of online footage from shows across the world, with clips racking up millions of streams on Facebook and YouTube.
In 2014 Freddy was MC for the late show for the Big Value Show at the Edinburgh Fringe, one of the most prestigious showcases at the festival, and he returned to the Fringe in 2015, where he hosted the AAA Comedy Showcase at the Pleasance Courtyard.
Freddy's willingness to break away from his set and involve the crowd leads for an engaging and memorable set backed up with frantic energy and raw emotion.

Hirsute, hospitable, and h-engaging, Howard hails from Yorkshire and proffers oodles of warmth with observations on everyday life. Comedy Cellar New Act Award winner and Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year finalist, with captivating stories he travels the UK to charm and entertain, and find the answer to the age old question; where can you find free parking after 6?
An imaginative storyteller, with a good sense of humour, he likes romantic walks on the beach, dining out, and likes to take any opportunity to pretend he's filling out an online dating profile.

“Howard Walker's oddly hilarious observations bring something different to any comedy programme” - Buzz Comedy
