Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Lost Voice Guy, The Halls of Ridiculous, and host Rick Molland
Show details:

Lee Ridley (Lost Voice Guy)
Britain's Got Talent winner - 2018
Lee Ridley AKA Lost Voice Guy may not be able to talk, but he definitely has something to say, and his comedy will leave you speechless.
Since making his first stand up performance in February 2012, Ridley has gained quite the reputation for being both very funny and very unique.
He's gigged across the country performing at clubs and small venues, and has warmed up at Tour shows for the likes of Ross Noble, Patrick Kielty, Jason Manford and Jason Cook.
In 2014 he won the BBC New Comedy Award and went on to became the winner of ITV’s highest rated show, Britain’s Got Talent, in 2018; the first comic ever to win the show.
Lee’s other credits include his own BBC Radio 4 sitcom, Ability, Live at the Apollo for BBC, and in late 2018 he completed a huge nationwide theatre tour before releasing his debut book in May 2019.
“Funny, personal, occasionally shocking and frequently mischievous” - The Independent
“Finding humour in strange places is one of Lost Voice Guy’s strengths” - The Guardian
“a show that will open your eyes, put fire in your belly and make you laugh guiltily at its frankness and levity” - ★★★★★ - Metro
Replacing Matt Bragg:

The Halls of Ridiculous
The Halls of Ridiculous are a northern comedy duo who push the boundaries of improv, sketch and character creativity to the max with their quick thinking scenes, zany special guests and quirky approach to performance.
Featuring Chris Lumb (BBC Three's Russell Howard's Good News) and Phil Allan-Smith (BBC One's This is My House), and with recent sold out shows at Leicester Comedy Festival and the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe, who knows what to expect... they don't even know... but whatever it is... it WILL be ridiculous!
“Brilliant character work mixed with superb improv” - ★★★★ - Hull Comedy Festival
“The world needs more daftness and the halls of ridiculous provide it in bucket loads. Just brilliantly funny” - Vaun Earl Norman, Vic & Bob's Big Night Out
“An amazing show of comedy, characters & sketches. Brilliant, very funny” - Patrick Monahan

Rick Molland
Not many Englishmen can cut it as an MC in a Scottish Comedy Club - but that's exactly what Rick Molland did every weekend of the year for years.
An award winning film maker and former Scottish Comedian of the Year runner-up, having proven his comedy metal in some of the most formidable environments Scotland has to offer, including T in the Park, Rockness, and The Wickerman Festivals, Rick Molland is the former resident compère at Edinburgh's Monkey Barrel Comedy Club.
“no-holds-barred comedy” - Edinburgh Evening News
“perfect for the role of compere” - Three Weeks
“ audacious” - The Scotsman
