Hayley Ellis & Esther Manito: Tour Previews

Hilarity Bites present tour preview shows from two of the funniest stand-up’s on the circuit, Esther Manito (as seen on Live at the Apollo) and Hayley Ellis (co-host of The Worriers podcast):

Hayley Ellis: Silly Mare

Like all women who literally just celebrated their 35th birthday five years ago, Hayley Ellis is obsessed with true crime. Sure, it’s not the most feminist of passions – but since when do we ever do what’s best for ourselves, however old we get? Join Hayley as she navigates middle age – and as everyone agrees, the middle of anything is always the most delicious part (excluding Donuts, Avocados or plane seats), the joys of remaining (mostly) happily unmarried and the truly horrific journey of later-in-life contraception Something for everyone.

As seen as tour support for Sarah Millican and Jason Manford.

“Sharp, clever, and very funny” – The Sunday Post

“Ellis is a talent” – Fest

Winner Best Show – NW Comedy Awards 2023

Esther Manito: Slagbomb

Esther’s life seems to be a magnet for embarrassing moments and endless cockups. No matter how hard she tries to project sophistication, she often ends up highlighting her unrefined side. Yet her husband doesn’t seem to feel any need to be dignified, so why does dignity have such control over her? After Esther’s last show “Hell Hath No Fury” she decided to embrace her label as an “angry woman” and now she wants to accept her lack of dignity whether it’s her less-than-graceful posture, cringe-worthy encounters with shady drug deals, or the painful realities of waxing gone wrong in her new tour “Slagbomb”.

“Effervescent… Incisively funny” – ★★★★ – The Skinny
