Hilarity Bitesize New Act & New Material Night, with David Hadingham, Kelli! Taylor, host Andy Fury & support
Show details:

David Hadingham
Like 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).
At 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.
This gravel-voiced comic combines supremely controlled delivery with inimitable facial contortions as he cracks some of the best handmade gags in the business.
Dave 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.
“ranting and raving comic genius” - The Guardian
“Hilariously funny with notable precision and charisma” - The Scotsman

Kelli! Taylor
Kelli! Taylor is Hull's Best Celebrity Hairdresser.
Welcome to her world where she’s everything to everyone from agony aunt to life coach plus influencer, singer, song-writer, actor, dancer, choreographer, psychic, empath, healer, foodie, wheat intolerance survivor, friend.
Most of all she’s likeable and funny!
“Funny, original and quite possibly mental” - Gary Delaney
“Hilarious” - Justin Moorhouse
“Stop telling people you know me” - Derren Brown

Andy Fury
Despite 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.
With 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.
“An absolute genius of a comedian” - BBC
