Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Freddy Quinne, Louise Leigh, and host Danny Deegan

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.

“Uncompromising... a natural comic with near perfect timing” - The Skinny

“The hilarious Freddy Quinne managed to quieten the two worst hecklers with one perfectly judged line” - eFestivals

“Uniquely Northern observational humour” - Lancashire Evening Post

 

Louise Leigh

At the age of 37, Louise realised she’d never ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair. So she waited another 5 or 6 years and took up stand up comedy instead.

Since then, Louise has performed two well-received runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and is working for some of the biggest comedy clubs in the UK.

Alongside that Louise has racked up an impressive 5 solo shows, performing at festivals including Glasgow, Bath, Exeter, Chippenham, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Brighton to name a few. Louise has also performed in Holland & Spain and provided tour support for Carl Hutchinson, Nabil Abdulrashid & Stephen Bailey.

Danny Deegan

Danny Deegan is a comedian, writer and actor who began performing in 2003 and has since risen steadily through the ranks of some of the most prestigious comedy clubs in the UK. His tales of mischief and the characters he creates have kept audiences all over the country enthralled as he weaves in and out of the people he has met travelling. His talent and likability coupled with a confident swagger see him as one of the most popular acts in the North.

Fresh from a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where he received rave reviews, Danny also recently performed a headline set at the Green Man festival in South Wales getting a great reception from the 400 people in the marquee and being asked to wrap up for Manchester band Doves after their headline set in front of 12,000 people.

Outside of live work Danny has made several TV and radio appearances. From being a guest on Radio GMR to having his own show "Afternoons with Danny Deegan" on CAT FM in Crewe. His TV credits include appearances on "Made in the North" and "The Adam and Shelley Show" to name but two.

“His seamless interactions with the crowd demonstrate that he’s a natural-born comedian... appealing to both the young and old, female and male” - Three Weeks
