SUMMARY:Newton Aycliffe\, October 20th 2022
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bitesize New Act & New Material Night\, with Matt Reed\, Chris Brooker\, host Andy Fury & support\nShow details:\n \nMatt Reed\nBorn and bred in Sunderland\, Matt's affable style has won him fans across the UK. He effortlessly plays with the crowd with a natural rapport that is found in few comics. Matt\, always ready\, never disappointing will always make a good gig - great. \nIn 2015 Matt took his debut show to the Edinburgh Fringe\, retelling the four year ordeal of how he was stalked and cat-fished by an online admirer. The show won rave reviews from critics and audience alike\, with Matt playing to sell-out audiences. \nWith so many gigs of every size under his belt\, from audiences of 3000 to 30\, there is pretty much no comedy situation Matt can't handle. As pleasant as he is wonderfully brutal\, Matt is a welcome addition to any comedy night entertaining the crowd while skillfully destroying any heckler that crosses his path. \n “Absolutely hilarious... had the crowd rolling around” - BBC \n“Brilliant... always original one of the newest stars of comedy” - The Leeds Guide \n“Brilliantly handled a very difficult room\, this fashionably unkempt lad will go far” - Swansea Telegraph \n  \n \nChris Brooker\nOne of comedy’s heavy hitters\, Chris Brooker’s infectious energy and enthusiasm sweeps through a room like an irresistible force. Chris’ combination of hilarious\, original material and inspired improvisation means that you will never see the same routine twice. Immensely likeable\, there’s no doubting his ability to win over any crowd and drag them along for the ride. \nDescribed only half-accurately as comedy's ginger viking\, Chris has taken his brand of comedy and compering all over the UK as well to the US and Canada. In 2008 he made history when he became the first foreign player to be chosen for the All-Star team at the ComedySportz World Championship in Portland\, Oregon. Currently in high demand as an MC due to his ability to energise a room and think on his feet\, Chris is also a polished performer with three full length solo shows under his belt. The most recent of which\, Unstoppable\, played to glowing reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. \n“Very funny\, very quick... On the spot humour” - BBC \n“The best act of the night\, his quick wit silencing hecklers and getting plenty of laughs” - Manchester Evening News \n“A fitting finale\, had the audience in stitches” - Student Online \n  \n \nAndy Fury\nDespite starting comedy out of “sheer boredom” just a few years ago\, Andy Fury has impressed a lot of people in a short space of time with a wonderful mix of self-deprecating dark jokes and off the wall surrealism. \nWith a laidback stage presence that sometimes borders horizontal\, he’s as hard-working as he is funny and winning the Hilarity Bites New Act Of The Year 2010 title has put Andy on the path to working at many of the best clubs in the country\, wowing audiences the length and breadth of the UK. \n“An absolute genius of a comedian” - BBC \n“Brilliant... The next Pub Landlord of comedy” - Hexham Courant \n“A very funny man with a big future ahead of him” - Corby Radio \n  \nThis show will also feature support from several new acts\, and established acts performing new material. \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: 7pm\nShow starts: 7:30pm \n\nBuy tickets:\nTickets for this show are £10 per person\, with doors opening at 7pm and the show starting at 7:30pm.
