SUMMARY:Crook\, August 29th 2019
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Rahul Kohli\, John Gibson\, and host Rob Coleman\nShow details:\n \nRaul Kohli\nRaul Kohli has fast become one of the most captivating Asian acts on the UK comedy circuit. As one of the few Asian comedians to have grown up in the North East of England\, he’s blessed with a worldview that upends ethnicity\, culture and class. Kohli combines ‘Superb political comedy’ (The Scotsman) with surreal storytelling. \nIn just a few short years\, his debut solo show: Newcastle Brown Male gained critical acclaim at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival earning him a top pick of both BBC Radio 4 and the Huffington Post. It also gained him radio credits for BBC Radio 4's State of the Nation and BBC Asia Network's Big Asian Comedy Night. \nAs well as several radio & TV appearances\, Raul released his own comedy podcast about Hinduism on BBC Sounds' and Spotify (Comic Sanskrit). Raul also has a short yet ceremonious career in writing & acting\, having wrote & starred in numerous RTS Award Nominated short films\, he's also appeared in the sitcom : The VAR room (2021)\, wrote & starred in his own BBC Laugh Lesson: How We Ruined the Internet\, wrote & performed on Mike Reiss (Writer/Producer – The Simpsons) podcast\, & is presently acting as the lead in a short feature film: White Privilege (Cabin Productions\, scheduled for release in 2023). \nIn January 2017\, Rahul became an award-winning comedian\, winning the prestigious NATYS\, formerly the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year Award\, following in the footsteps of Stewart Lee\, Lee Mack and Ardal O’Hanlon. \n“Dripping with erudite genius” - Fest Magazine \n“A powerful\, passionate\, open-minded\, intelligent voice. It is superb political comedy and commentary” - The Scotsman \n“Kohli is not just performing for laughs; he is attempting to create some real art” - Broadway Baby \n  \n \nJohn Gibson\nJohn Gibson makes people laugh. From the moment he stepped onto a stage in 2013 he never wanted to leave it. But he had to leave it\, because living on a stage simply wasn’t practical. \nA natural joke writer\, John was being paid to write and perform comedy within a year of his first appearance. Now a regular on the comedy scene\, he can be found providing laughs at comedy venues up and down the country. \nArmed with strong gags and a relaxed stage presence he impresses as a confident performer. Having been blessed with many physical imperfections John has a lot of raw material for his self-deprecating humour\, which he blends with observational comedy\, satire and one-liners. \n  \n  \n  \n \nRob Coleman\nRob has been a stand up for 10 years or so\, performing his way around the country with a mix of beautifully written gags and true(ish) stories\, together with some audience banter. \nAlong the way he has learned life lessons such as - 'never take a first date to watch you perform comedy' and 'there are no 24 hour petrol stations in rural Wales.' \nHe has become increasingly grumpy and his comedy focuses on (amongst other things) politeness\, getting old and the joys of long term relationships. \nStand up is hard on Rob and also hard on his car\, which has clocked up over 300\,000 miles\, mostly taking late night Highways Agency inspired diversions. \nAway from stand up. Rob recently rowed across the Atlantic\, becoming a world record holder in the process\, and lives on a farm in rural Leicestershire. \n“Presence aplenty and material to match” - One 4 Review \n“Very strong and extremely funny... a naturally funny man” - Bedfordshire News \n“What a nice man. Full of one-liners\, he had the packed venue in fits of laughter... A definite must for a return visit” - The Joker's Club \n  \n\nBuy tickets:

Or is he just full of sh*t? \nWhatever you decide his gift for comedy is undeniable and his psychic powers are unbelievable! \n“Binns has either gone native or so deeply ironic that he’s lost touch with reality.

DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Tom Wrigglesworth\, Harry Garrison\, and host Pete Otway\nShow details:\n \nTom Wrigglesworth\nTom Wrigglesworth is an established stand-up comedian\, radio and TV presenter\, and voice-over artist from Sheffield\, England. \nWith a disarmingly charming delivery and unforgettable appearance\, this Yorkshire funny man became a national have-a-go-hero when he rescued a little old lady from the jaws of a Virgin train ticket inspector; only to be arrested for begging. His subsequent story of the event secured Tom several awards including the Chortle Best Show Award\, and a nomination for the main Edinburgh Comedy Award. This led to a sell out tour of the UK\, and runs at the New Zealand Comedy Festival and prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival. \nFollowing this\, Tom recorded two series of 'Tom Wrigglesworth's Open Letters' for BBC Radio 4\, tackling consumer issues in his own hilarious way and winning a highly acclaimed Sony Award for best Radio Comedy along the way. His next radio project\, 'Tom Wrigglesworth's Hang Ups' for BBC Radio 4 is currently in its second series and focuses on telephone conversations with his parents. \nTom is also known for his uncanny resemblance to Green Bay Packers quarter back Aaron Rodgers\, and worked with NFL films to create ‘The Incredible Mr Wrigglesworth’. This short film which featured Tom performing in Green Bay\, receiving the key to the city\, and coming his face to face with his doppleganger became a viral You Tube hit. \n“Magical storytelling... a rare talent... hysterical and accomplished” - Time Out \n“The gods of comedy chose greatness for Tom” - The Scotsman \n“Undeniable gift for comic storytelling... he has a lovely turn of phrase\, an ear for allowable exaggeration... and a born entertainer's grasp of structure” - The Telegraph \n  \n \nHarry Garrison\nGlasgow-based comedian Harry Garrison has confident\, flawless delivery and natural charm. \nDon´t be fooled when he shuffles on clutching his guitar: his set is not for the faint-hearted. His honest\, and often oddball take on life and other sensitive topics are expertly handled in a way that will have you cooing over his romanticism\, dropping your jaw in shock that yes\, he did just say that\, and howling with laughter in delightfully equal measure. \n“...stylishly expressed\, charismatic performance” - Chortle \n“...standout crowd favourite” - The Scotsman \n“5 star performance... Hilarious... Quick witted\, dry\, black comedy” - Mumble Comedy \n  \n \nPete Otway\nSince starting to perform in 2010\, Pete Otway has quickly gained momentum\, establishing himself as an extremely strong new act. As comfortable and confident as an MC as he is an act\, he is booked regularly to do both\, and was a recent finalist in the 2012 BBC New Comedy Awards. \nWith an affable and conversational style\, mixed with an energetic stage manner and original writing\, Pete is quickly making a name for himself on the UK circuit\, and is certainly one to watch. \n “Devastatingly funny” - Chortle \n“Amiable\, cheeky classic stand-up” - Liverpool Echo \n“An amazing comedy talent\, and we are making sure we are making sure we follow his every move in his ever rising career” - Crispy Comedy Club \n  \nThis show will also feature a newer act in the middle. \n  \n\nBuy tickets:

He discovered stand-up soon after and has gone to sell out his show Greek Tragedy at the Melbourne Comedy Festival\, and support Luisa Omielan on her Am I Right Ladies tour. Recent BBC One appearances include the One Show and numerous appearances on This Week\, discussing the Greek financial crisis. \nFortunately for George it turned out that he has quite the grasp of the English language\, and also the fine art of comedy\, including his witty observations on dating Geordie lasses and helpful translations of everyday Geordie phrases. \n“A charismatic raconteur... his story not only elicits laughter but is also\, at times\, poignant and moving” - ★★★★ – The Wee Review \n“Truly terrific” - Melbourne Herald \n“Huge Laughs\, George is clearly a very funny guy” - Broadway Baby \n  \n \nTom Little\nTom Little is an award-winning comedian. In 2015 he won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (an award also won by acts such as Johnny Vegas\, Jason Manford\, Rhod Gilbert and Romesh Ranganathan) which he never stops banging on about. \nTom was also a BBC Radio New Comedy Award finalist and his 2018 Edinburgh show was nominated for the Amused Moose Comedy Award. He plays the well-read fool\, taking on hugely diverse facts\, but refusing to deal with them conventionally\, with a unique turn of phrase. \n“Inventive\, unexpected and often very silly…. He surely can’t remain a hidden treasure for long” - Chortle \n“A huge talent” - The Scotsman \n“His elevation to TV panel show favourite is surely only a matter of time” - The Wee Review \n“The real deal. An instinctive comedian with oodles of charm and a quirky\, frenetic intensity... If he cuts his energy levels by 10% he could end up in movies” - The Spectator \n  \n \nTony Jameson\nSince starting in September\, 2008\, Tony Jameson has established himself firmly as one of the brightest prospects in the North East comedy scene. \nWith his whimsical rambling manner\, or flight of fancy\, Tony takes audiences on a tour of the inner workings of his mind and the strange things that happen in his life. Fleeting from whimsy to dark one-liners\, before stopping for a cup of tea and a breather. It’s a bit like a small child who always asks ‘why?’ His observations are well thought out\, keeping the audience on their toes and intrigued\, eager to see where his journey will take them. \nIn 2014 Tony had an exceptional run at the Edinburgh Festival\, following a sell-out run in 2013 with his critically acclaimed show Football Manager Ruined My Life\, which he then toured throughout Winter 2014\, before taking it back on the road in 2015. \n“Tony Jameson delivered both an imaginatively amusing and well received performance...” - Three Weeks \n“Terrific... Wonderful... Life-affirming stuff...” - The Skinny \n“The latest Geordie with massive potential” - Yorkshire Evening Press \n  \n\nBuy tickets:

His jokes veer between the clever and the silly and deliver more than their fair share of belly laughs. \n“Had everyone on their feet - Sublimely ridiculous” - The Northern Echo \n“A brilliant performance.. Pure genius!” - NARC Magazine \n“Quirky and original - the highlight of the night” - Giggle Beats \n  \nThis show will also feature a newer act in the middle. \n  \n\nBuy tickets:
