DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. David Hadingham\, Anth Young\, and host Cal Halbert\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 \nAnth Young\nAnth Young is one of the hottest new acts in the North East\, having finished highly in a raft of new act competitions in the last few years\, as well as performing to huge audiences in theatres around the country as tour support to Carl Hutchinson. \nA regular at comedy clubs around the UK\, Anth's career has really blossomed since finishing as runner-up in the Great Yorkshire Fringe New Comedian of the Year competition in 2017 - a year which also saw him placing highly in the hugely competitive English Comedian of the Year competition\, and being a finalist in the North East New Act of the Year competition. \n“Delightfully blunt and immensely endearing” - BBC \n“...he has long career ahead of him” - Broadway Baby \n  \n  \n \nCal Halbert\nDeemed 'the new generation of comedy' by Michael McIntyre\, Cal Halbert has performed from local comedy clubs to the London Palladium\, Britain's Got Talent to Good Morning Britain and voiced for YouTube to the BBC. \nWell known as an impressionist\, Halbert is one half of 'The Mimic Men'\, the UK's only impressionist double act! The Mimic Men appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2016\, gaining four yeses accompanied by a standing ovation by the judges\, audience\, and Ant and Dec. \n“Very good” - Simon Cowell \n“Uncanny imitations” - The Sun \n“Impersonator genius” - Sunderland Echo \n  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n\nBuy tickets:

SUMMARY:Crook\, February 27th 2020
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Dominic Woodward\, Pete Selwood\, and host Kate McCabe\nShow details:\n \nDominic Woodward\nDominic started comedy young and wide eyed back in 2001\, and with nearly two decades experience on the UK circuit he's a safe pair of hands. He's cheeky\, charming\, full of energy and hilarious. \nNow married with a mortgage\, Dominic weaves side-splitting stories about his life and tells belly aching jokes that hit the mark with all audiences. There’s a naughty twinkle in his eyes but his act is warm\, personal and inoffensive. \nDominic is always in demand as an act and compere. He regularly performs in comedy clubs all over the UK and overseas. \n“Effortless delivery” - The Times \n“Engaging material” - Manchester Evening News \n  \n \nPete Selwood\nA hotly tipped up and coming comedian on the circuit\, Pete Selwood has quickly risen through the comedy ranks with swagger. After winning the Lawrence Batley New Yorkshire Comedian of the Year (quite a mouthful)\, he has gone from strength to strength\, winning comedy competitions and winning over audiences. \nThe Barnsley born Yorkshireman is an adept storyteller\, focussing on tales of Northern life as a perpetually single man in his 20s. Being born with only one hand also gives him a unique view and experience of the world around him\, poking fun at having a fairly minor disability in modern Britain. \nIn keeping with his material about disability\, Selwood is also half of a double-act with Britain's Got Talent star Jack Carroll\, performing sketches and creating videos about the portrayal of disability within our society. \n“Wowed the crowd” - Liverpool Echo \n“man with swagger\, isn’t misplaced either” - Notts Comedy Review \n“grace and good humour\, immensely likeable” - North West End \n  \n \nKate McCabe\nAmerican comic Kate McCabe moved to Manchester from the US over a decade ago with her Scottish partner - putting the wheels in motion shortly after George W Bush was elected for a second term as President! \nGrowing up in Erie\, Pennsylvania\, Kate studied theatre arts at New York University\, and following her passion for stand-up comedy\, Kate continued to make us laugh\, perforning throughout New York\, Los Angeles\, Philadelphia\, New Jersey and the UK. \n

When not performing stand-up\, she also writes and performs with Manchester-based sketch group The Tourists\, hosts her own alternative comedy night\, Sidekick Comedy\, in Manchester's Gay Village\, and also performs improv with ComedySportz - the Manchester-based comedy troupe who battle it out for the biggest laughs. \n“Delivers strong material with aplomb” - Three Weeks \n“McCabe stormed the venue... a thorough delight to watch” - Arts in Leicester \n“McCabe’s material is consistently good\, often making the room spin with laughter” - The Student Journal \n  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n\nBuy tickets:

DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Sam Avery\, Ross Leslie\, and host Danny Deegan\nShow details:\nTicket for this show are now sold-out\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 \nRoss Leslie\nScottish comedian Ross Leslie is a regular at every comedy club in Scotland\, since starting comedy in 2012. His material on being a father of a very large household has audiences delighting in the crazy images he brings to life. In 2019 year he took his debut solo show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, Pretty Shy For A White Guy\, at the prestigious Stand Comedy Club\, earning a 4 star review along the way. \nRoss has recently starred in the first stand-up comedy show on Scottish television for over a decade\, the Comedy Underground\, on BBC Scotland and iPlayer and is a regular writer and contributor to the station's Breaking The News satirical comedy show. \nIn 2018\, in his third final\, Ross finished third place in the Scottish Comedian of the Year competition. \n“He had a robustly put-together set... with a nice variety of gags and pleasing turns of phrase” - Chortle \n“Easy flow and solid gag rate” - The List \n“Ross in an engaging and interesting comic\, easy to listen to and has loads of laughs woven into his narrative” - ★★★★ - One4Review \n  \nReplacing Sian Davies:\n \nDanny Deegan\nDanny 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. \nFresh 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. \nOutside 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. \n“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 \n“Charming\, witty and most importantly funny” - Metro \n“Deegan has a mature confidence in his abilities” - Chortle \n  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n\nBuy tickets:
