Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Craig Campbell, Jacob Nussey, Matt Hollins, and host Elaine Robertson

Show details:

Craig Campbell

A formidable stand up comedian, Canadian-born Craig Campbell is one of comedy’s most charismatic and inventive performers.

With sold out runs at the Edinburgh Festival and performances at the Montreal Just For Laughs festival, tours of Craig’s many solo shows have been extended due to popular demand. He has supported Frankie Boyle on tour and appeared as a featured guest live with Jim Carrey!

Craig's TV appearances include Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC One), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC Three), and Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave).

“One of the finest comedians in the country, no the world, a well traveled genius” - Russell Howard

“One of the most skilled storytellers and jokesmiths on the circuit... Craig is simply a very, very funny man" - Chortle

 

Jacob Nussey

Jacob Nussey unassumingly draws in audiences with his deadpan style, sharp jokes, and ill-fated anecdotes with clever punchlines.

Jacob quickly established himself on the comedy circuit, after winning Bury Met Comedian of the Year and West Didsbury Comedy Festival New Act of the Year, having previously reaching the semi-finals of British Comedian of the Year, and So You Think You’re Funny.

Jacob was named by Chortle as one to watch for 2023. He’s seriously funny and well worth seeing in person!

“Offbeat stories with an air of resigned indifference which is highly effective” - Chortle

“Insanely funny, he'll be a household name before you know it” - Skiddle

“Hilariously nonchalant” - Broadway World

 

Matt Hollins

Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2004
BBC New Act of the Year 2005 semi-finalist
Old Comedian of the Year 2015 finalist

Matt has been a performer on the UK pro circuit since 2003, with his dry, deadpan delivery coupled with offbeat material and left-field punchlines which wrong-foot audiences time and again, making him of the most exciting comedians on the circuit.

With an acutely sharp comic mind, excellent timing, great stage presence (despite an awkwardness which somehow enhances his act) Hollins is a must see. He's performed one man shows at the last 5 Leicester Comedy Festivals and he's taken these to other venues around the country. In 2013 Hollins was invited to perform at The Best of Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival Show at De Montfort Hall Gardens on the back of his solo show going down well with audience and festival judges alike.

“Wonderful and unique” - Joe Lycett

“Hollins at his best never fails to surprise you with the directions his jokes take” - Leicester Mercury

“Strikingly original” - Chortle

 

Elaine Robertson

With a surreal eye for observational comedy and keen knack for audience interaction, Elaine has been described as ‘Laugh out loud’, ‘Natural, effortless and off-the-cuff (The Cherwell) and a ‘Brilliant wit and comedic talent’ (Ed Fringe Review).

In 2022 Elaine was a Regional Finalist for BBC New Comedian of the Year.

“I’ve been doing comedy for over 20 years and it’s very rare that I see someone who was born to do it. Elaine is one such person. effortlessly hilarious with original material I wish I’d thought of myself. If she doesn’t do well it’s to the detriment of comedy” - Matt Reed

“A huge personality, Elaine has a quality that is very rare in new comedians, that being the ability to ad-lib and go with wherever the gig takes her. She's good now, very good in fact but she could well develop into a truly special comic” - Felt Nowt Comedy

“Laugh out loud, natural, effortless and off-the-cuff” - The Cherwell
