Additionally\, David has featured as a writer on 8 Out of 10 Cats\, amongst a variety of genres\, and is currently working on sitcom\, drama and documentary script \n“Acid tongued and as sharp as a barrel full of tacks... As intense and intelligent performer as you’re likely to see” - The List \n“Highly original and bloody funny” - Three Weeks \n“David seems to be actually driven by the material and\, say it quietly\, the art... challenges both himself and the audience. AND HE IS FUNNY” - Baby Cow \n  \n \nSi Beckwith\nSi Beckwith is a stand-up comedian and writer from Newcastle Upon Tyne. \nSi gigs regularly and prolifically\, up and down the country\, making sure to hone his craft on all manner of stages and is a respected\, reliable and most importantly very funny stand-up comedian who has a creative approach to all he does. \nSi has packed plenty in to a relatively short career\, first performing at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013 in a two-handed show.

SUMMARY:Darlington\, June 7th 2025
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Nick Doody\, Al Stevenson\, Seeta Wrightson\, and host Danny Deegan\nShow details:\n \nNick Doody\nDave Gorman tour support\nNick Doody has been performing comedy since the 90s when\, as a student\, he got off to a pretty good start by supporting the legendary Bill Hicks\, at Bill's request. A little later\, Nick was a finalist in Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny? competition. \nSince then he has performed all over the world: Ireland\, France\, Spain\, Switzerland\, Germany\, The Netherlands\, Dubai\, United Arab Emirates\, Qatar\, Hong Kong\, Thailand\, Malaysia\, Estonia... You get the idea. He was the first British comedian to perform in Croatia. \nNick has appeared on various radio and TV shows\, and is also much in demand as a writer. He has penned jokes for Joan Rivers\, Lenny Henry\, Dame Edna Everage and an uncomfortable number of Mock The Week regulars. He was also the creator and head writer of Bigipedia\, a critically acclaimed Radio 4 show that broadcast in 2009 and 2011. \nIn 2006\, Nick performed his first solo Edinburgh Festival show\, Before He Kills Again. The show received rave reviews and sold out for the whole festival\, leading to a run at the Soho Theatre. Since then\, Nick has written and performed another six solo hours of stand-up\, including the most honest title ever to appear on a poster\, Look At This Massive Picture Of My Face. \n“All hail Nick Doody... true comedy gold: polished\, rich in material and a find among all the fools” - Metro \n“This is simply the best unadulterated\, gimmick-free hour of pure stand-up I’ve seen so far this Fringe” - Chortle \n“A no-nonsense stand up comic who is genuinely funny” - Three Weeks \n  \n \nAl Stevenson\nAl Stevenson is the quick-witted\, sharp-tongued lad of Newcastle! \nHis charm allows him to tear through audiences with rapid fire\, all whilst getting away with it through a cheeky grin. \nAlthough he is newer on the circuit\, his talents have already seen him rise to the finals of Beat The Frog World Series\, beating hundreds of acts to do so\, and to host and headline prestigious venues such as The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle. \nHis humour has caught the eye of his fellow comics\, leading to him performing tour support spots for Mark Nelson\, Lauren Pattison\, Matt Reed\, and even international comic Kevin James Thornton! \n“Al Stevenson combines the blunt double-entendres of Julian Clary with the bored\, world-weariness of Jo Brand” - Chortle \n“Blisteringly confident and deliriously lurid crowd work” - NARC \n“Destined to be a stand up comic” - Lost Voice Guy \n  \n \nSeeta Wrightson\n2025 Female Pilot Club Winner and BBC New Comedy Awards semi-finalist\, Seeta Wrightson is a Bradford-born comedian known for her sharp wit and engaging stories. Wrightson’s work often draws on her dual Asian and British heritage. \nFrom humble (AKA very skint) beginnings growing up in Bradford\, Seeta has wandered through life wondering where exactly she fits and has had a hell of an adventure figuring it out. And it is a never-ending stream of ridiculousness that provides the fodder for her comedy. \n“She has jokes as fierce as her outfits. Love her” - Kiri Pritchard-McLean \n  \n  \n \nDanny Deegan\nDanny Deegan is a comedian\, writer and actor who began performing in 2003 and has since risen steadily through the ranks of some of the most prestigious comedy clubs in the UK. His tales of mischief and the characters he creates have kept audiences all over the country enthralled as he weaves in and out of the people he has met travelling. His talent and likability coupled with a confident swagger see him as one of the most popular acts in the North. \nFresh from a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe\, where he received rave reviews\, Danny also recently performed a headline set at the Green Man festival in South Wales getting a great reception from the 400 people in the marquee and being asked to wrap up for Manchester band Doves after their headline set in front of 12\,000 people. \nOutside of live work Danny has made several TV and radio appearances. From being a guest on Radio GMR to having his own show "Afternoons with Danny Deegan" on CAT FM in Crewe. His TV credits include appearances on "Made in the North" and "The Adam and Shelley Show" to name but two. \n“His seamless interactions with the crowd demonstrate that he’s a natural-born comedian... appealing to both the young and old\, female and male” - Three Weeks \n“Charming\, witty and most importantly funny” - Metro \n“Deegan has a mature confidence in his abilities” - Chortle \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. Tickets can be bought from the link below\, See Tickets\, TicketMaster\, Skiddle\, or contact the venue directly.
