Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Kevin Daniel, Paul Tonkinson, and host Stephanie Laing

Show details:

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

 

Paul Tonkinson

A sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year, Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. With a unique and distinctive style, Tonkinson is noted for his effervescent physicality and skillful impressions, which bring alive exuberant, tender comic reflections on love, family and the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of 21st century living. A plethora of first class material, combined with tremendous charm and irrepressible, infectious energy make for quite a formidable talent.

After many years of storming the circuit, and much badgering from fellow professionals, he took to the road in 2012 with his eagerly anticipated debut tour: Paul Tonkinson; Fancy Man. The tour took in 50 dates across the UK, and gave audiences the opportunity to experience the full Tonkinson phenomena in all it’s glory.

Following his solo tour, he was given the opportunity to play to a wider audience, joining the mighty Michael McIntyre as a special guest on live shows around the UK. In 2013 he had the honour of joining Michael as a special guest on his global arena tour; playing to millions across the globe, as far and wide as Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong. Paul joined Michael again in 2015 as special guest on the Happy & Glorious Tour; playing to sold-out crowds in arenas across the UK.

“Excellent... extremely talented... brilliant” - Time Out

“Hilarious, nobody makes me laugh like Paul Tonkinson…go see him!" - Michael McIntyre

“Watching Tonkinson storm is one of the best sights in comedy. It’s like watching somebody fly" - Sean Walsh

 

Stephanie Laing

Goofy and peculiar, Stephanie Laing’s comedy is partway between the needy oddness of Maria Bamford and the upbeat affability of Josie Long. Her material is a mix of silliness, filth and unusual observations, underpinned by a disarming honesty which makes her seem charmingly vulnerable.

A regular on the circuit Stephanie has also become a stalwart of comedy festivals across the country having appeared at Brighton Fringe, Leicester Comedy Festival, York Comedy Festival, Bath Comedy Festival, Women in Comedy Festival as well as appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe every year since 2010. Not content with just performing in the UK Stephanie has also appeared at UCB in New York & The Laugh Factory in L.A.

Most recently in 2018 Stephanie took her solo show ‘Mad About The Boy’ to the Melbourne, Adelaide & Perth comedy festivals.

“Laing is a jovial, baby faced performer who comes across as utterly unencumbered, so it doesn’t especially feel like adult humour when it plainly is... Laing has a Sarah Millican-esque appeal” - Chortle

“Disgusting and delightful in equal measure. She is definitely one to watch” - Three Weeks

“Gloriously silly … wonderfully unpretentious” - Broadway Baby
