SUMMARY:Malton\, September 25th 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Peter Brush\, Pete Selwood\, and host Al Stevenson\nShow details:\n \nPeter Brush\nA highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes\, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair\, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines\, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion. \nPeter performs at all the major clubs across the UK\, as well as having done many of it’s biggest festivals\, he has also played shows in Switzerland\, Norway and Hungary. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist\, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour. Other acts he has supported on tour include Jonathan Pie\, Jason Manford\, Fern Brady\, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha. \n“compellingly hilarious... first-class gag writing... an original and achingly funny voice” - ★★★★½ - Chortle \n“I love Peter Brush\, what a comic” - Jason Manford \n“unique observations and connections that stand-ups crave” - The Guardian \n“He’s a great comic” - BBC Radio 4 Saturday Review \n  \n \nPete Selwood\nA hotly tipped up and coming comedian on the circuit\, Pete Selwood has quickly risen through the comedy ranks with swagger. After winning the Lawrence Batley New Yorkshire Comedian of the Year (quite a mouthful)\, he has gone from strength to strength\, winning comedy competitions and winning over audiences. \nThe Barnsley born Yorkshireman is an adept storyteller\, focussing on tales of Northern life as a perpetually single man in his 20s. Being born with only one hand also gives him a unique view and experience of the world around him\, poking fun at having a fairly minor disability in modern Britain. \nIn keeping with his material about disability\, Selwood is also half of a double-act with Britain's Got Talent star Jack Carroll\, performing sketches and creating videos about the portrayal of disability within our society. \n“Wowed the crowd” - Liverpool Echo \n“man with swagger\, isn’t misplaced either” - Notts Comedy Review \n“grace and good humour\, immensely likeable” - North West End \n  \nReplacing Elaine Robertson:\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  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n  \n\nTimings\nDoors open: 7:30pm\nShow starts: 8pm \n\nBuy tickets:\nTickets for this show are £10 per person and are only available to buy from TicketSource.

Bethany Black\, Ashley Frieze\, and host Al Stevenson\nShow details:\n \nBethany Black\nBethany Black has been a professional stand-up comedian since 2004.
