Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Steve Day, Phil Pagett, and host Roger Monkhouse

Show details:

Steve Day

Steve Day describes himself as Britains only deaf comedian, and if there are any others then he hasn't heard. Actually there are a couple of others who have started since he wrote that joke, but it's only a joke after all.

For the past dozen years Steve has been performing to huge laughter around the country and abroad - well, they tell him the laughter was huge to humour him, he doesn't know either way.

Married with five children (a fact nothing to do with not being able to hear the word 'No') Steve has been described as 'warm and witty' by the Scotsman and has received many other rave reviews whilst performing shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Chortle gave him five stars in 2007 for Deafy's Island Discs, a show The Sunday Times called 'Funny and Moving'.

“Revelatory and very funny” - The Guardian

“Warm, funny, frank and thought-provoking” - The Scotsman

“Wonderful” - Bath Chronicle

 

Phil Pagett

Phil Pagett is a professional comedian and joke-writer from Birmingham, described by Gary Delaney as "One of the country's best new gag writers".

Phil has been performing since 2010, and his act features a combination of one-liners and wry observations. In addition to live work he has written for Mock the Week and BBC Radio 4.

“Thoroughly enjoyable” - Notts Comedy Review

“Takes his audience on an amusingly clever ride” - Funhouse Comedy

“One of the country’s best new gag writers” - Gary Delaney

 

 

Replacing Sammy Dobson:

Roger Monkhouse

Roger Monkhouse is one of the most original and distinctive acts on the comedy scene. A consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience. A highly original and quirky performer, Roger’s trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit.

Distinguished as a comic by his eloquence and keen eye for a fine phrase, Roger’s easy observational style is spiked by the signal flares of an accomplished gag writer. A supremely confident compere and seasoned corporate host, Roger is happy to improvise freely with a crowd and is at great ease bantering with an audience, but has no shortage of first class observational material in his armoury.

As one of the most sought after acts on the comedy circuit, Roger headlines at all the major comedy venues and has performed extensively throughout the United Kingdom and Internationally, most recently performing in Belgium, The Netherlands, South Africa, China, Singapore, Tokyo and the Middle East. He has also featured on major national tours of the UK sponsored by Hooch and J2O.

A fine topical writer and performer, and master of sharp observational comedy, Roger is a regular member of the prestigious and critically acclaimed ‘Cutting Edge’ team at the London Comedy Store.

“unfailingly entertaining and skilfully able to pull punchlines, seemingly, out of thin air” - Chortle

“his laconic delivery shields an engaging persona and an enquiring mind” - The Guardian

 

This show will also feature a newer act in the middle.
