DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bitesize New Act & New Material Night\, with Keith Carter\, host Andy Fury & support\nShow details:\n \nKeith Carter\nKeith Carter is known as one of the best character comedians on the circuit\, so much so that many have not known he was in character. He doesn’t rely on wigs and silly costumes\, Carter relies on sincerity. His most famous creation Nige has gained cult status amongst comedy fans and comedians alike and is seen as a comedy icon in his native Liverpool. \nHis unique ability to improvise and interact with an audience whilst delivering a perfectly honed set of belly-laugh gags and hilariously surreal stories has taken him across the globe\, as well as working with\, amongst others\, Sean Lock\, Reginald D. Hunter\, Ricky Gervais\, and Russell Brand. \nCarter can count Johnny Vegas and Jon Richardson as fans of his work. His contemporaries like him so much that Steve Coogan’s company\, Baby Cow\, paid for his one man show Edinburgh run in 2012 and Craig Cash’s company\, Jelly Legs\, paid to make a half hour teaser pilot to be shown at the BBC of one of Carter’s characters. \n “A character comic of rare skill” - The Guardian \n“Carter is in danger of becoming huge” - Chortle \n“Surely this man will have a sitcom in a few years time” - Metro \n  \n \nAndy Fury\nDespite starting comedy out of “sheer boredom” just a few years ago\, Andy Fury has impressed a lot of people in a short space of time with a wonderful mix of self-deprecating dark jokes and off the wall surrealism. \nWith a laidback stage presence that sometimes borders horizontal\, he’s as hard-working as he is funny and winning the Hilarity Bites New Act Of The Year 2010 title has put Andy on the path to working at many of the best clubs in the country\, wowing audiences the length and breadth of the UK. \n“An absolute genius of a comedian” - BBC \n“Brilliant...
