SUMMARY:Darlington\, December 5th 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Alex Boardman\, Aaron Wood\, and host Karen Bayley\nShow details:\n \nAlex Boardman\nA lifelong comedy fan\, Alex Boardman stormed onto the scene and quickly became one of the most popular choices on the circuit during the late 90’s. A full time comic since 1998\, his skills as a writer have also been in constant demand for Britain’s most cutting edge prime time TV and Radio comedy shows. If you’ve found yourself falling off your chair in a fit of giggles watching TV’s latest successful comedy offering\, the chances are\, Alex is responsible. \nAlex is now one of the most sought after acts in the country due to his ability to interact with any audience and to seemingly conjure something out of nothing. His free flowing style and natural charm breeze through in performances. His unique brand of “flattery and abuse” is done with a lack of malice and a big sense of fun. \nAlex was one of a small band of writers who worked on the second series of John Bishop’s Britain on BBC 1 and he made a significant contribution to it being the highest rated stand up show of 2011 bringing in six million viewers a week. He has also written for performers as diverse as James Corden\, Lily Savage and Liza Tarbuck\, whilst he had a three year special hosting the Galaxy FM breakfast show in the late 2000s. \n“His tall tales can lead anywhere on any given night” - The Times \n“A rare mixture of wit and charm” - The Guardian \n“Probably the quickest I’ve ever seen\, certainly the funniest” - The Big Issue \n  \n \nAaron Wood\nAaron Wood is one of the UK’s most exciting new comics\, having racked up three sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe\, a successful UK tour and the release of his debut stand up special This Can’t Be It on YouTube. \nHe’s supported the likes of Luke Kidgell\, Fin Taylor and Tom Stade\, and his stand-up and podcast clips have picked up over 100 million views online\, earning him a spot on Rolling Stone’s list of “Rising Stars to See”. \n“Hilarious\, a stand-out act” - ★★★★★ - The Wee Review \n“A rising star in British comedy!” - BBC \n“Expect to see Aaron on a much bigger stage next year” - ★★★★ - Fest Mag \n  \n \nKaren Bayley\nKaren began her comedy career back in 2000 and since then has gone from strength to strength. Her bold\, no nonsense attitude strikes a perfect pitch with men and women alike\, and she is equally at home compering or performing sets. \nKaren is also resident compere of her own clubs in Sutton Coldfield and Solihull\, with her claim to fame to date being that she was the first woman (in its history) to win the King Gong show at The Comedy Store. \nKaren has also worked in TV and radio\, including appearances on the BBC New Comedy Awards (BBC3)\, 
The Last Word (ITV1)\, 
Sex on the Job (Sky 1)\, and 
100 Greatest Cartoons (Channel 4). \n“Laugh out loud jokes and superb audience control” - Chortle \n“Likeable headstrong persona- packing a considerable performing punch” - The List \n“She blew my socks off” - BBC \n  \nThis show will also feature a newer act in the middle. \n  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n\nTimings\nDoors open: 7:30pm\nShow starts: 8pm \n\nBuy tickets:\nTickets for this show are £12 each.
