SUMMARY:Topcliffe\, December 3rd 2019
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Chris Kent\, Keith Carter\, and host Freddy Quinne\nShow details:\nReplacing Damian Clark:\n \nChris Kent\nHailing from ‘The Rebel County’ (That’s Cork for anyone outside Ireland)\, Chris gave up the day job as an electrician to pursue his calling in comedy. He emerged onto the Irish comedy scene in 2009 after winning the Bulmers Nuttin’ But Funny competition. \nChris’s anecdotal stand up comedy has made him a firm favorite in Ireland and in the UK. Fresh from selling out a 2016 Irish tour\, Chris became a regular at the Edinburgh Festival and has performed all over the world from Australia to America. \nChris has appeared on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central on Comedy Central\, was a guest panelist on RTE’s Next Year’s News\, is a regular contributor to RTE radio\, and has been hand-chosen to support a number of high profile acts including David O'Doherty\, Dylan Moran\, and Bill Burr. \n“Breathes new life into anecdotal comedy” - ★★★★ The List \n“Compelling storyteller\, truly surprising\, beautifully delivered” - The Scotsman \n“Original\, hilarious material. Among the best acts I’ve seen ” - ★★★★★ - The Mirror \n  \n \nKeith Carter\nKeith Carter is known as one of the best character comedians on the circuit\, so much so that many have not known he was in character. He doesn’t rely on wigs and silly costumes\, Carter relies on sincerity. His most famous creation Nige has gained cult status amongst comedy fans and comedians alike and is seen as a comedy icon in his native Liverpool. \nHis unique ability to improvise and interact with an audience whilst delivering a perfectly honed set of belly-laugh gags and hilariously surreal stories has taken him across the globe\, as well as working with\, amongst others\, Sean Lock\, Reginald D. Hunter\, Ricky Gervais\, and Russell Brand. \nCarter can count Johnny Vegas and Jon Richardson as fans of his work. His contemporaries like him so much that Steve Coogan’s company\, Baby Cow\, paid for his one man show Edinburgh run in 2012 and Craig Cash’s company\, Jelly Legs\, paid to make a half hour teaser pilot to be shown at the BBC of one of Carter’s characters. \n “A character comic of rare skill” - The Guardian \n“Carter is in danger of becoming huge” - Chortle \n“Surely this man will have a sitcom in a few years time” - Metro \n  \n \nFreddy Quinne\nCo-host of the hugely popular 'Dead Men Talking' podcast\, award-winning comedian Freddy Quinne is a regular at many of the biggest and best comedy clubs in the country where he performs his shamelessly opinionated\, no-holds-barred stand up. He is known for his frank approach and often brutal punchlines\, covering everything from topical news to universal truths. \nHis Amazon Prime comedy special Quite The Catch has had over half a million views. He also has hours of online footage from shows across the world\, with clips racking up millions of streams on Facebook and YouTube. \nIn 2014 Freddy was MC for the late show for the Big Value Show at the Edinburgh Fringe\, one of the most prestigious showcases at the festival\, and he returned to the Fringe in 2015\, where he hosted the AAA Comedy Showcase at the Pleasance Courtyard.  \nFreddy's willingness to break away from his set and involve the crowd leads for an engaging and memorable set backed up with frantic energy and raw emotion. \n“Uncompromising... a natural comic with near perfect timing” - The Skinny \n“The hilarious Freddy Quinne managed to quieten the two worst hecklers with one perfectly judged line” - eFestivals \n“Uniquely Northern observational humour” - Lancashire Evening Post \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\nBuy tickets:

Fleeting from whimsy to dark one-liners\, before stopping for a cup of tea and a breather. It’s a bit like a small child who always asks ‘why?’ His observations are well thought out\, keeping the audience on their toes and intrigued\, eager to see where his journey will take them. \nIn 2014 Tony had an exceptional run at the Edinburgh Festival\, following a sell-out run in 2013 with his critically acclaimed show Football Manager Ruined My Life\, which he then toured throughout Winter 2014\, before taking it back on the road in 2015. \n“Tony Jameson delivered both an imaginatively amusing and well received performance...” - Three Weeks \n“Terrific...

SUMMARY:Newton Aycliffe\, December 4th 2019
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Chris Kent\, Rahul Kohli\, and host Lee Kyle\nShow details:\n \nChris Kent\nHailing from ‘The Rebel County’ (That’s Cork for anyone outside Ireland)\, Chris gave up the day job as an electrician to pursue his calling in comedy. He emerged onto the Irish comedy scene in 2009 after winning the Bulmers Nuttin’ But Funny competition. \nChris’s anecdotal stand up comedy has made him a firm favorite in Ireland and in the UK. Fresh from selling out a 2016 Irish tour\, Chris became a regular at the Edinburgh Festival and has performed all over the world from Australia to America. \nChris has appeared on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central on Comedy Central\, was a guest panelist on RTE’s Next Year’s News\, is a regular contributor to RTE radio\, and has been hand-chosen to support a number of high profile acts including David O'Doherty\, Dylan Moran\, and Bill Burr. \n“Breathes new life into anecdotal comedy” - ★★★★ The List \n“Compelling storyteller\, truly surprising\, beautifully delivered” - The Scotsman \n“Original\, hilarious material. Among the best acts I’ve seen ” - ★★★★★ - The Mirror \n  \n \nRaul Kohli\nRaul Kohli has fast become one of the most captivating Asian acts on the UK comedy circuit. As one of the few Asian comedians to have grown up in the North East of England\, he’s blessed with a worldview that upends ethnicity\, culture and class. Kohli combines ‘Superb political comedy’ (The Scotsman) with surreal storytelling. \nIn just a few short years\, his debut solo show: Newcastle Brown Male gained critical acclaim at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival earning him a top pick of both BBC Radio 4 and the Huffington Post. It also gained him radio credits for BBC Radio 4's State of the Nation and BBC Asia Network's Big Asian Comedy Night. \nAs well as several radio & TV appearances\, Raul released his own comedy podcast about Hinduism on BBC Sounds' and Spotify (Comic Sanskrit). Raul also has a short yet ceremonious career in writing & acting\, having wrote & starred in numerous RTS Award Nominated short films\, he's also appeared in the sitcom : The VAR room (2021)\, wrote & starred in his own BBC Laugh Lesson: How We Ruined the Internet\, wrote & performed on Mike Reiss (Writer/Producer – The Simpsons) podcast\, & is presently acting as the lead in a short feature film: White Privilege (Cabin Productions\, scheduled for release in 2023). \nIn January 2017\, Rahul became an award-winning comedian\, winning the prestigious NATYS\, formerly the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year Award\, following in the footsteps of Stewart Lee\, Lee Mack and Ardal O’Hanlon. \n“Dripping with erudite genius” - Fest Magazine \n“A powerful\, passionate\, open-minded\, intelligent voice. It is superb political comedy and commentary” - The Scotsman \n“Kohli is not just performing for laughs; he is attempting to create some real art” - Broadway Baby \n  \n \nLee Kyle\nIn his never ending quest not to have a proper job\, Lee Kyle spent time as part of an all male Spice Girls tribute act before spending a decade as a professional wrestler. \nManaging the difficult trick of being both odd and relatable\, he did a show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013 that he heard was well received but he doesn't read reviews because his psyche is too fragile to handle them so he isn't totally sure what they said. \nArmed with props and a rapid gag rate he cuts a confident\, if off-beat figure on stage. His jokes veer between the clever and the silly and deliver more than their fair share of belly laughs. \n“Had everyone on their feet - Sublimely ridiculous” - The Northern Echo \n“A brilliant performance.. Pure genius!” - NARC Magazine \n“Quirky and original - the highlight of the night” - Giggle Beats \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\nBuy tickets:
