SUMMARY:Darlington\, February 1st 2020
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. David Hadingham\, Mike Newall\, and host Danny Deegan\nShow details:\nReplacing Tez Ilyas\, who will now perform in December:\n \nDavid Hadingham\nLike a mad Phil Daniels\, Dave Hadingham is a bulldog of a comedian\, and the animal allegories don't stop there. In an affectionately\, snarling\, ranting and raving set\, Dave is not afraid to make you laugh about anything (remember the dogs). \nAt his best in the live arena\, Dave has been a professional comic since May 1996. Intense and anecdotal\, he keeps audiences hooked right up to the last punchline as he presents his unique and often warped view of everyday life. \nThis gravel-voiced comic combines supremely controlled delivery with inimitable facial contortions as he cracks some of the best handmade gags in the business. \nDave is a highly-regarded regular on the nationwide comedy circuit\, headlining at all of the biggest clubs in the UK and also performing at resorts across Europe. \n“ranting and raving comic genius” - The Guardian \n“Hilariously funny with notable precision and charisma” - The Scotsman \n  \n \nMike Newall\nA gentle\, amiable power-house of a comic\, Mike’s timing is the envy of performers with ten times the experience and is living proof that you can’t learn to be funny\, some people just are. Since making his debut in 2003\, he has toured the country honing his skills and is now a force to be reckoned with. \nA talent who audiences\, colleagues and industry-types alike are really sitting up and taking notice of\, Mike Newall is the future of the Manchester scene\, as cheering crowds from Penzance to Inverness will happily testify. \nA regular on the festival circuit since 2010\, Mike has performed four well-received Edinburgh Fringe shows\, as well as supporting Alun Cochrane on several UK tours. \n“well-crafted jokes\, great call-backs and a wonderfully dry delivery” - Three Weeks \n“There’s something strangely elegiac about these modest little insights into his life that make them more than just average observational comedy... Impressive stuff” - Chortle \n“Perfectly crafted … Pin sharp\, his control is deft and his hair is immaculate” - The Scotsman \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  \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:

Intelligent and street smart\, she wins the entire room over with wonderfully written jokes\, a spellbinding stage presence and the timing of a 20-year pro” - Punch Drunk Comedy \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...

SUMMARY:Darlington\, February 13th 2020
DESCRIPTION:Tom Binns: The Psychic Comedium\nShow details:\n\nMulti award-winning comedian Tom Binns has performed his Psychic Character Ian D Montfort to 5-star reviews around the world. \nHe’s entertained and amazed sceptics and believers alike on his own BBC Radio 2 series ‘Ian D Montfort is: Unbelievable’\, his critically acclaimed BBC One series ‘Hospital People’\, and in the smash hit British film ‘Eaten By Lions’. \nDuring this time Tom appears to have started to believe he has genuine psychic ability and now performs as The Psychic Comedium. \n“I’ve discovered I have psychic abilities that are at least as strong as anyone who has ever claimed to be a psychic. If not stronger” \nIn his performances Tom clearly makes jaw-dropping revelations about his audience but is he gifted? Is he deluded? Or is he just full of sh*t? \nWhatever you decide his gift for comedy is undeniable and his psychic powers are unbelievable! \n“Binns has either gone native or so deeply ironic that he’s lost touch with reality. I can only assume he’d sell more tickets as a ‘real’ psychic. In this post-truth\, end of days\, era we are living in\, why not? Best of luck to him” – Horizon \n  \nThis show will also feature support from Cats Does Countdown favourite Ivan Brackenbury. \n  \n\nBuy tickets:
