SUMMARY:Darlington\, April 4th 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. David Hadingham\, Mike Milligan\, Catherine Young\, and host Lee Kyle\nShow details:\n \nDavid Hadingham\nLike a mad Phil Daniels\, Dave Hadingham is a bulldog of a comedian\, and the animal allegories don't stop there. In an affectionately\, snarling\, ranting and raving set\, Dave is not afraid to make you laugh about anything (remember the dogs). \nAt his best in the live arena\, Dave has been a professional comic since May 1996. Intense and anecdotal\, he keeps audiences hooked right up to the last punchline as he presents his unique and often warped view of everyday life. \nThis gravel-voiced comic combines supremely controlled delivery with inimitable facial contortions as he cracks some of the best handmade gags in the business. \nDave is a highly-regarded regular on the nationwide comedy circuit\, headlining at all of the biggest clubs in the UK and also performing at resorts across Europe. \n“ranting and raving comic genius” - The Guardian \n“Hilariously funny with notable precision and charisma” - The Scotsman \n  \n \nMike Milligan\nHaving earned his keep as a teacher in Newcastle\, Mike Milligan knows a thing or two about ‘audience interaction’\, and he majors on it. However this Geordie quickly found classrooms weren’t the best place to share his sharp\, witty banter! \nNow firmly established as a top stand-up comedian\, Mike’s teaching days are on summer vacation indefinitely. In place is a wealth of gigs on the national and international comedy circuit; including both compering and headlining shows for The Comedy Club\, the Comedy Store and Jongleurs' clubs and countless more. \nBorn and Bred in Newcastle\, Mike got to fulfil every Geordie boy's dream when he got to play the part of north-east cult hero Sid The Sexist\, providing the voice in Viz comic's highly successful video and then performing the iconic sketch live in concert at his spiritual home of Newcastle City Hall. \n“Snappy\, sharp and packed full of belly laughs... stole the show” - Edinburgh Evening News \n“A name to watch out for” - Daily Telegraph \n“He has one of the quickest comedy brains on the circuit\, so any potential hecklers should be warned - be good or be bettered” - Evening Gazette \n  \n \nCatherine Young\nHilarity Bites New Act of the Year 2019\nWinner of the Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year 2019\, Catherine is quickly making a name for herself as one of the most exciting new acts to come out of the North-East in recent years. \nCatherine occasionally absconds from Middlesbrough and the general misery of life\, by running round the UK comedy circuit looking for anyone who will listen to her. \nFrom North East and Irish decent\, Catherine loves drinking\, dancing and telling lies. Her comedy is light-hearted\, full of mischievous stories and a warm and friendly humour that provides a short break from the stresses that life deals to us all. \n  \n  \n \nLee Kyle\nIn 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. \nManaging 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. \nArmed 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. \n“Had everyone on their feet - Sublimely ridiculous” - The Northern Echo \n“A brilliant performance.. Pure genius!” - NARC Magazine \n“Quirky and original - the highlight of the night” - Giggle Beats \n  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n\nTimings\nDoors open: 7:30pm\nShow starts: 8pm \n\nBuy tickets:\nTickets for this show are £12 each. Tickets can be bought from the link below\, See Tickets\, TicketMaster\, Skiddle\, or contact the venue directly.
