Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Rob Deering, George Zach, Tom Little, and host Tony Jameson

Show details:

Rob Deering

Rob Deering performs stand-up comedy with music, using a guitar, a loop pedal and his voice to create impressive rock and pop soundscapes – and do jokes, of course. Along with being one of the most in-demand headliners on the UK circuit, he’s toured nationally and performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe many times since starting out in comedy in the year 2000.

Rob has performed throughout the world, in shows from the Middle East to Melbourne, Shanghai to the South of France, and he has appeared on any number of Radio and TV shows since starting out on 99 Things To Do Before You Die, most recently winning Celebrity Mastermind on BBC One.

“An evening in his company is nothing less than a joy” - The Independent on Sunday

“A highly impressive one-man soundscape powered mainly by energy and excellent guitar skills” - The Scotsman

“Ingenious and hilarious” - The Guardian

 

George Zach

George moved from Greece to study Biochemistry in Newcastle Upon Tyne and, in doing so, avoided joining the Greek army for his national service. 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.

Fortunately 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.

“A charismatic raconteur... his story not only elicits laughter but is also, at times, poignant and moving” - ★★★★ – The Wee Review

“Truly terrific” - Melbourne Herald

“Huge Laughs, George is clearly a very funny guy” - Broadway Baby

 

Tom Little

Tom 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.

Tom 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.

“Inventive, unexpected and often very silly…. He surely can’t remain a hidden treasure for long” - Chortle

“A huge talent” - The Scotsman

“His elevation to TV panel show favourite is surely only a matter of time” - The Wee Review

“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

 

Tony Jameson

Since starting in September, 2008, Tony Jameson has established himself firmly as one of the brightest prospects in the North East comedy scene.

With 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.

In 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.

“Tony Jameson delivered both an imaginatively amusing and well received performance...” - Three Weeks

“Terrific... Wonderful... Life-affirming stuff...” - The Skinny

“The latest Geordie with massive potential” - Yorkshire Evening Press
