Hilarity Bitesize New Act & New Material Night, with Alex Mitchell, Josh Sedman, host Chris Lumb & support

Show details:

Alex Mitchell

2024 Britain's Got Talent finalist

Britain’s Got Talent 2024 finalist Alex Mitchell is an autistic comic with functional neurological disorder (FND). Using self-deprecating humour - laughing at himself, his neurodivergence, disability, and sexuality - to reflect on some of the most difficult subjects within his own life and wider society.

His debut show, Tics Towards Puffection, tackles his desperate obsession for perfection and being "the best version" of himself. He explores how and if he'll ever achieve this, and how this has and continues to impact his life. Reflecting on society's perception of queer, disabled, and neurodiverse communities, as well as his own perception of himself, Mitchell creates a heartwarming, emotional but always hilarious show.

Alex was also won 'You Can Laugh You Know: Disabled Comedian of the Year 2023' and 'Beat The Frog Winner February 2024'.

“funny and fearless” - Simon Cowell

“Definitely one to watch, very funny and unique” - Jack Gleadow

“Tremendous” - Notts Comedy Review

 

Josh Sedman

Josh is a Comedian who has had rapid career progression over the last 18 months, and is an act who has had fantastic reviews wherever he has performed. He comes fully equipped with 'Wetherby Teeth' (Yorkshire's superior version of 'Turkey Teeth'), a razor-sharp wit, and a lovely head of hair.

ISelf deprecating humour and playful audience interaction have left rooms in stitches up and down the country, leading to Josh being named ‘Cat and Stick Comedy’s New Comedian of the Year 2023’.

“Sedman has a solid construction to his set, the laughs come regularly, he's a warm presence and his performance was punchy. This was a great performance” - Notts Comedy Review

“Josh is quick witted, cheeky, charming and comedically brilliant from concept to execution. Yet another criminally underrated act who's got the talent of a top pro, and guaranteed to have the room fall about with mirth, whatever room he's in. Funny stories, funny delivery, weaved together by a naturally funny man” - Blizzard Comedy

“Bossed the room from start to finish and the audience loved him, such an engaging perform with killer material. Definitely one to watch” - Funnyjonescomedy

 

Chris Lumb

As seen on Russell Howard's Good News, Chris Lumb is no stranger to comedy. As the manager and performer of improv group "The Discount Comedy Checkout" he's played gigs with them for 12 years! In this time he’s developed an MC style which has fun with audiences and makes the night fully rounded.

With more strings to his comedy bow than a funny Robin Hood, he's a comedy director having award winning films played at festivals such as Raindance. He also started a YouTube channel imaginatively titled Chris Lumb Comedy where he creates sketches and live show videos! As a keen impressionist Chris has also appeared on Russell Howard's Good News performing his favourite Star Wars impressions!

“Chris is such a naturally gifted MC, he reads the room perfect and pounces on any audience interaction with great wit and warmth. The audience never feel scared to get involved which is a credit to his style and unrehearsed approach.” - Shoecake Comedy

“Chris Lumb is a warm and instantly likeable MC, he quickly builds an instant rapport with his audience, very funny , the audience loved him” - Editor's Laughs

“always a lively and quick-witted performer” - Buzz Comedy
