Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Duncan Oakley, Catherine Young, and host Chris Brooker

Show details:

Duncan Oakley

Award-winning comedy songwriter Duncan Oakley has been performing on the UK club and festival circuit since 1999. In that time Duncan has appeared on BBC3, Channel 4 and BBC Radio 4 as well as having a lead role as Eddie in Beat 24's feature film Frontman (a film that won awards but sadly never achieved major release despite Oakley being brilliant in it).

Proudly childlike, musical comedian Duncan Oakley can be playful and daft but is always infectiously funny.

Expect big laughs from your inner oaf.

“Leaping between stupidity and pure brilliance” - Yorkshire Evening Post

“Oakley's routine deftly mixes the tunes with the stand-up” - City Life

“Brilliant. A true, funny entertainer” - BAFTA winner Dave Johns

 

Catherine Young

Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year 2019

Winner of the Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year 2019, Catherine is quickly making a name for herself as one of the most exciting new acts to come out of the North-East in recent years.

Catherine occasionally absconds from Middlesbrough and the general misery of life, by running round the UK comedy circuit looking for anyone who will listen to her.

From North East and Irish decent, Catherine loves drinking, dancing and telling lies. Her comedy is light-hearted, full of mischievous stories and a warm and friendly humour that provides a short break from the stresses that life deals to us all.

 

 

Chris Brooker

One of comedy’s heavy hitters, Chris Brooker’s infectious energy and enthusiasm sweeps through a room like an irresistible force. Chris’ combination of hilarious, original material and inspired improvisation means that you will never see the same routine twice. Immensely likeable, there’s no doubting his ability to win over any crowd and drag them along for the ride.

Described only half-accurately as comedy's ginger viking, Chris has taken his brand of comedy and compering all over the UK as well to the US and Canada. In 2008 he made history when he became the first foreign player to be chosen for the All-Star team at the ComedySportz World Championship in Portland, Oregon. Currently in high demand as an MC due to his ability to energise a room and think on his feet, Chris is also a polished performer with three full length solo shows under his belt. The most recent of which, Unstoppable, played to glowing reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.

“Very funny, very quick... On the spot humour” - BBC

“The best act of the night, his quick wit silencing hecklers and getting plenty of laughs” - Manchester Evening News

“A fitting finale, had the audience in stitches” - Student Online
