DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bitesize New Act & New Material Night\, with Sam Avery\, Laurence Tuck\, host Si Beckwith & support\nShow details:\n \nSam Avery\nSam Avery wanted to be a rock star. It nearly happened. \nDespite being signed up by BMG Records at the age of 17 (he had to resign from his beloved paper round)\, and subsequent tours with Motorhead and Ice T\, the story soon took a familiar turn. Contracts were anulled\, money was stolen and before he knew it he was back at the paper shop asking for his fluorescent bag back. He had crap hair anyway. \nSubsequent jobs (including a brief stint as a stockbroker) failed to excite him the way the smell of sweat and snakebite had and it wasn't long before he turned to stand-up\, soon making the final of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year competition\, and finishing runner-up in the City Life North-West Comedian of the Year competition. \nFriendly and enthusiastic\, his observational style instantly puts audiences at ease allowing him to regale them with his tales of everyday life. Sam has gained a reputation for being able to spark the dullest of rooms into life with his warm\, infectious humour and quick wit which makes him ideal as either an act or compere. \nSam is also known as The Learner Parent\, the blog that he started which has lead to a best-selling book and sold-out UK tour. \n“Quick wit and painfully funny” - Metro \n“A must” - Sunday Times \n“A gifted storyteller” - The List \n  \n \nLaurence Tuck\nLaurence has been performing his dark and quirky stand up since 2008\, albeit with a six year hiatus in the middle\, and is now making waves in the North West comedy scene. \nIn 2012\, Laurence was a finalist of the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year and winner of the Electric Theatre (Guildford) Comedy Festival Newcomer Competition \n“Inventively offbeat” - Chortle \n“Stunningly original jokes\, its been years since I've seen a new comedian with jokes this good” - Adam Bloom \n“'His writing is wonderfully creative and... extremely impressive” - Notts Comedy Review \n“Quirky and offbeat...

He was a Harrogate Comedian Of The Year finalist in 2016. His show ‘Get Lush’ received some excellent reviews in 2019 and 2020 for performances at both Alphabetti Theatre and The Stand\, Newcastle.

SUMMARY:Horbury\, March 28th 2025
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Steve Gribbin\, Kevin Daniel\, Si Beckwith\, and host Chris Brooker\nShow details:\n \nSteve Gribbin\nSteve Gribbin is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool whose scabrous comedy songs and off the wall observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit. \nSteve’s original comedy songs combine razor sharp lyrics with tunes that put their foot in the door of your mind and refuse to leave. Firmly based in rock ‘n’ roll and refusing to pull no punches\, these are not the ‘oh so witty’ ditties of penguin-suited plink plonk piano playing posh gobs. They are that rarity – comedy songs which are actually funny. \nFor nine years Steve was the smaller one in the dynamic comedy duo Skint Video\, stalwart’s of the Edinburgh Festival\, appearing on countless television programmes such as Saturday Live\, radio such as The Mary Whitehouse Experience\, and their own show in 1992/3 Songlines (BBC Radio 1). Skint Video went their different ways in 1993\, since then Steve has been storming across the UK and Ireland as a solo artiste. \n“A comic animated by proper passion... a trenchant treat” - The Guardian \n“You can count the number of truly imaginative comic singers currently on the circuit on the fingers of one hand. One of this select band is Steve Gribbin” - Time Out \n“Satirical songs are hard to pull off successfully\, but if anyone can do it\, Steve Gribbin can. In fact\, he pulls it off with real aplomb” - The Independent \n  \n \nKevin Daniel\nKevin has established himself as one of the hottest newer acts on the comedy circuit\, working established comedy promoters across the UK\, his commanding stage presence\, relatable exquisite storytelling\, and jokes a plenty\, always leave audiences wanting more. \nIn his short comedy career. Kevin has performed at many comedy clubs including Blackpool Comedy Station\, The Stand\, Glee Club\, Just The Tonic\, Hilarity Bites\, Comedy Hot Spots\, Funhouse Comedy\, Big Deal Comedy\, and The Hull Comedy Lounge. Kevin has also supported Fiona Allen\, Nathan Caton and Jack Gleadow on their UK tours. \nIn 2023 Kevin performed his first solo work in progress show 'Freedom' to sold out rooms at the Leicester and Glasgow Comedy Festivals. He also took the show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a small run of shows. \nIn both 2022 and 2023 Kevin reached the semi finals of the British Comedian Of The Year\, and in 2024 Kevin won the prestigious “Silver Stand Up” competition at the Leicester Comedy Festival. \n“Kevin has a natural ability to fill a room with laughter\, he's a genuinely funny guy” - Just The Tonic \n“Kevin is a phenomenally talented comic. He began with some very astute observations about the room\, which made his performance feel topical and special. The last time I saw KD\, I was tempted to leave the review at just one word – Wow - and tonight was much the same.
