Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Steve Gribbin, Kevin Daniel, Si Beckwith, and host Chris Brooker
Show details:
Steve Gribbin
Steve Gribbin is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool whose scabrous comedy songs and off the wall observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit.
Steve’s original comedy songs combine razor sharp lyrics with tunes that put their foot in the door of your mind and refuse to leave. Firmly based in rock ‘n’ roll and refusing to pull no punches, these are not the ‘oh so witty’ ditties of penguin-suited plink plonk piano playing posh gobs. They are that rarity – comedy songs which are actually funny.
For nine years Steve was the smaller one in the dynamic comedy duo Skint Video, stalwart’s of the Edinburgh Festival, appearing on countless television programmes such as Saturday Live, radio such as The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and their own show in 1992/3 Songlines (BBC Radio 1). Skint Video went their different ways in 1993, since then Steve has been storming across the UK and Ireland as a solo artiste.
“A comic animated by proper passion... a trenchant treat” - The Guardian
“You can count the number of truly imaginative comic singers currently on the circuit on the fingers of one hand. One of this select band is Steve Gribbin” - Time Out
“Satirical songs are hard to pull off successfully, but if anyone can do it, Steve Gribbin can. In fact, he pulls it off with real aplomb” - The Independent
Kevin Daniel
Kevin has established himself as one of the hottest newer acts on the comedy circuit, working established comedy promoters across the UK, his commanding stage presence, relatable exquisite storytelling, and jokes a plenty, always leave audiences wanting more.
In his short comedy career. Kevin has performed at many comedy clubs including Blackpool Comedy Station, The Stand, Glee Club, Just The Tonic, Hilarity Bites, Comedy Hot Spots, Funhouse Comedy, Big Deal Comedy, and The Hull Comedy Lounge. Kevin has also supported Fiona Allen, Nathan Caton and Jack Gleadow on their UK tours.
In 2023 Kevin performed his first solo work in progress show 'Freedom' to sold out rooms at the Leicester and Glasgow Comedy Festivals. He also took the show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a small run of shows.
In both 2022 and 2023 Kevin reached the semi finals of the British Comedian Of The Year, and in 2024 Kevin won the prestigious “Silver Stand Up” competition at the Leicester Comedy Festival.
“Kevin has a natural ability to fill a room with laughter, he's a genuinely funny guy” - Just The Tonic
“Kevin is a phenomenally talented comic. He began with some very astute observations about the room, which made his performance feel topical and special. The last time I saw KD, I was tempted to leave the review at just one word – Wow - and tonight was much the same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone go from gong show to headlining so quickly” - Notts Comedy Review
Si Beckwith
Si Beckwith is a stand-up comedian and writer from Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Si gigs regularly and prolifically, up and down the country, making sure to hone his craft on all manner of stages and is a respected, reliable and most importantly very funny stand-up comedian who has a creative approach to all he does.
Si has packed plenty in to a relatively short career, first performing at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013 in a two-handed show. He was a Harrogate Comedian Of The Year finalist in 2016. His show ‘Get Lush’ received some excellent reviews in 2019 and 2020 for performances at both Alphabetti Theatre and The Stand, Newcastle. His most recent show ‘Bricks’ has been getting wonderful feedback from performances at Laurels Theatre and The Stand, Newcastle.
“Absurdly charming and funny” - NARC
“Razor sharp wit” - The Crack
“relaxes and charms, but watch out for his vicious undertow” - BBC
Chris Brooker
One of comedy’s heavy hitters, Chris Brooker’s infectious energy and enthusiasm sweeps through a room like an irresistible force. Chris’ combination of hilarious, original material and inspired improvisation means that you will never see the same routine twice. Immensely likeable, there’s no doubting his ability to win over any crowd and drag them along for the ride.
Described only half-accurately as comedy's ginger viking, Chris has taken his brand of comedy and compering all over the UK as well to the US and Canada. In 2008 he made history when he became the first foreign player to be chosen for the All-Star team at the ComedySportz World Championship in Portland, Oregon. Currently in high demand as an MC due to his ability to energise a room and think on his feet, Chris is also a polished performer with three full length solo shows under his belt. The most recent of which, Unstoppable, played to glowing reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.
“Very funny, very quick... On the spot humour” - BBC
