Controversial\, personal and wickedly punchy” - The List \n“A consummate comic... energetic\, engaging\, thought-provoking and funny” - The Stage \n“Engagingly mixes the silly and the downright wrong” - Chortle \n  \n \nGeorge Egg\nWildly brandishing the worlds' second largest briefcase containing a battery of ridiculous props\, George bounds onto the stage to perform one of the most original\, interesting\, innovative\, and sweetly whimsical comedy performances you are ever likely to see. A true cross between modern alternative stand-up comedy and old-school music hall variety. \nGeorge Egg has been a professional stand-up comedian for the last two decades. He has an extremely successful solo show with which he has toured in Germany\, Switzerland\, Holland\, Belgium\, Spain\, Austria\, France\, Hong Kong\, New Zealand and even India\, as well as extensively in the United Kingdom both on the stage and on the television. More recently George has been the support act for Lee Mack\, Micky Flanagan\, and Jack Dee. \n “A hugely entertaining variety turn” - The Guardian \n“It is refreshing to encounter a performer who really is unique” - The Telegraph \n“a genius... he is the friendly face of anarchy\, the anarchic face of food and the foodie face of comedy” - Scotland on Sunday \n  \n \nMeryl O'Rourke\nAcclaimed stand-up comic and TV writer Meryl O'Rourke revels in her bitterness. She has delighted comedy audiences\, written some of the best gags on telly and even hosted pop concerts - the last one to 12\,000 people! \nShe is the first winner of the Betty and Peter / Big Talk writing prize\, where she has been gifted a chunk of money to help her write a sitcom with a production company. She was chosen by unanimous decision from over 600 entrants. \nMeryl also supported Frankie Boyle during his 2016 tour\, following support dates for him in 2014\, 2012\, 2011 and 2010 at the Hammersmith Apollo.

Meryl has written a pilot sitcom about post-natal depression\, for the head of Radio 4 comedy\, and is a highly praised gag writer - a stolen joke of hers went viral on Facebook\, reaching at least 100\,000 likes and 15 million views (at last count!)\, whilst she's written for many of the biggest comedy programmes in the UK. \n“As near perfect as you can find. Charming delivery keeps the audience in no doubt they've just seen one of this year's fringe highlights” - ★★★★★ – British Comedy Guide \n“Ripe with comedy. A unique perspective: sharp and dark\, and refreshingly unsentimental” - The Observer \n“Truly astonishing show... a must see” - ★★★★★ – The New Current \n  \nThis show will also feature a newer act in the middle. \n  \n\nBuy tickets:

SUMMARY:Ripon\, February 5th 2019
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Dave Johns\, Paul ‘Silky’ White\, and host Andy Fury\n*** Tickets for this show are now sold-out ***\nShow details:\n \nDave Johns\nThe star of Palme d'Or award winning film 'I\, Daniel Blake'\, Dave Johns has been a stand up comic since 1989 and is a regular headlining act playing all the major comedy clubs in the UK and comedy festivals world wide. Dave has gained a reputation as an inventive\, exciting and extremely funny comedian\, winning applause from his audiences\, respect from his fellow comics\, and rave reviews from the critics. \nIn 2013\, Dave co-wrote a new stage adaptation of The Shawshank Redemption which hit the West End and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He has had two very successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in highly acclaimed shows 'Dave Johns On The Edge' in 1998 and 'I'm in The Attic Mother' in 1999 at the Pleasance Theatre for which he won the Spirit of the Fringe Award. \nHe has also appeared regularly at the Kilkenny Comedy Festival\, in Ireland\, Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal\, the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne Comedy Festival. Dave has also worked on stage in the Middle East\, Hong Kong\, Bangkok\, Johannesburg\, Sydney\, New York\, Amsterdam and the Arctic\, and has been a regular guest on comedy panel shows such as Never Mind The Buzzcocks and 8 Out Of 10 Cats. \n “He shifts from the sublime\, to genius\, to uproar in the blink of an eye - An extremely entertaining hour” - The Guardian \n“Dave Johns has a uncontrived manner and sense of fun on stage that most comics can only dream about” - The Scotsman \n“Look closely you will see the man generate sparks of magic” - The List \n  \n \nPaul 'Silky' White\nSilky has been a full time comedian since 1997. He did his first gig in 1994\, and his fourth gig (the final of the 1995 BBC New Comedy Awards alongside Lee Mack\, Daniel Kitson and Julian Barratt) was shown on BBC1’s Stand-Up Show. Other awards he has failed to win include the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (prize-winning runner-up 2000)\, the Liverpool Echo Arts and Entertainment Award (the only person to be nominated twice: always the sodding bridesmaid). \nSilky has performed internationally\, including gigs in China\, the Philippines\, the Gulf\, Singapore\, the US\, the Melbourne Comedy Festival\, and all over Europe\, including at the Glastonbury Festival\, where no-one lobbed bottles of wee\, much to his relief. He performed at the 2004 God’s Kitchen Global Gathering\, the 2005 Big Bang at Santa Pod\, and in the houseband for the Kilkenny Festival. Silky is also a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe\, where he plays to full houses every year at The Stand Comedy Club. \n“...a very\, very funny fella... just brilliant” - John Bishop \n“One of the comedy circuit’s most popular headliners... on the cusp of superstardom” - Yorkshire Life \n“Among the best of the circuit... born funny” - City Life \n“Always brilliant” - 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... The next Pub Landlord of comedy” - Hexham Courant \n“A very funny man with a big future ahead of him” - Corby Radio \n  \nThis show will also feature a newer act in the middle. \n  \n\nBuy tickets:
