Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Nick Doody, El Purnell, and host Will Duggan

Show details:

Nick Doody

Dave Gorman tour support

Nick Doody has been performing comedy since the 90s when, as a student, he got off to a pretty good start by supporting the legendary Bill Hicks, at Bill's request. A little later, Nick was a finalist in Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny? competition.

Since then he has performed all over the world: Ireland, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Estonia... You get the idea. He was the first British comedian to perform in Croatia.

Nick has appeared on various radio and TV shows, and is also much in demand as a writer. He has penned jokes for Joan Rivers, Lenny Henry, Dame Edna Everage and an uncomfortable number of Mock The Week regulars. He was also the creator and head writer of Bigipedia, a critically acclaimed Radio 4 show that broadcast in 2009 and 2011.

In 2006, Nick performed his first solo Edinburgh Festival show, Before He Kills Again. The show received rave reviews and sold out for the whole festival, leading to a run at the Soho Theatre. Since then, Nick has written and performed another six solo hours of stand-up, including the most honest title ever to appear on a poster, Look At This Massive Picture Of My Face.

“All hail Nick Doody... true comedy gold: polished, rich in material and a find among all the fools” - Metro

“This is simply the best unadulterated, gimmick-free hour of pure stand-up I’ve seen so far this Fringe” - Chortle

“A no-nonsense stand up comic who is genuinely funny” - Three Weeks

 

El Purnell

El Purnell is a unique whirlwind of a crowd-pleasing comedy act. His energy and gags per minute are off the scale delivering many belly laughs and so much fun for the audience. He has a unique and clever spin delivering his set in Spanish with a springle of English. Audiences LOVE the interaction, jokes, and actual realisation they can understand him without speaking his mother tongue.

Highlights for Ecuador's No 1 comedian include several runs at the Edinburgh festival, TV shows for both BBC and Sky TV and international gigs in Ecuador, Ireland, Germany, and Thailand.
