SUMMARY:Darlington\, July 5th 2025
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Silky\, Elaine Robertson\, Dominic Hatton-Woods and host Lee Kyle\nShow details:\n \nPaul 'Silky' White\nSilky has been a full time comedian since 1997. He did his first gig in 1994\, and his fourth gig (the final of the 1995 BBC New Comedy Awards alongside Lee Mack\, Daniel Kitson and Julian Barratt) was shown on BBC1’s Stand-Up Show. Other awards he has failed to win include the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (prize-winning runner-up 2000)\, the Liverpool Echo Arts and Entertainment Award (the only person to be nominated twice: always the sodding bridesmaid). \nSilky has performed internationally\, including gigs in China\, the Philippines\, the Gulf\, Singapore\, the US\, the Melbourne Comedy Festival\, and all over Europe\, including at the Glastonbury Festival\, where no-one lobbed bottles of wee\, much to his relief. He performed at the 2004 God’s Kitchen Global Gathering\, the 2005 Big Bang at Santa Pod\, and in the houseband for the Kilkenny Festival. Silky is also a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe\, where he plays to full houses every year at The Stand Comedy Club. \n“...a very\, very funny fella... just brilliant” - John Bishop \n“One of the comedy circuit’s most popular headliners... on the cusp of superstardom” - Yorkshire Life \n“Among the best of the circuit... born funny” - City Life \n“Always brilliant” - Metro \n  \n \nElaine Robertson\nWith a surreal eye for observational comedy and keen knack for audience interaction\, Elaine has been described as ‘Laugh out loud’\, ‘Natural\, effortless and off-the-cuff (The Cherwell) and a ‘Brilliant wit and comedic talent’ (Ed Fringe Review). \nIn 2022 Elaine was a Regional Finalist for BBC New Comedian of the Year. \n“I’ve been doing comedy for over 20 years and it’s very rare that I see someone who was born to do it. Elaine is one such person. effortlessly hilarious with original material I wish I’d thought of myself. If she doesn’t do well it’s to the detriment of comedy” - Matt Reed \n“A huge personality\, Elaine has a quality that is very rare in new comedians\, that being the ability to ad-lib and go with wherever the gig takes her. She's good now\, very good in fact but she could well develop into a truly special comic” - Felt Nowt Comedy \n“Laugh out loud\, natural\, effortless and off-the-cuff” - The Cherwell \n  \n \nDom Hatton-Woods\nTik Tok favourite Dom Hatton-Woods is a hit both online and in person with his slightly confused\, slightly arrogant persona. \nHailing from the North\, Dom has plays clubs and theatres nationwide\, and is tipped to be one of the next biggest things in British comedy. \nYou may have seen him opening for Daliso Chaponda\, Jamali Maddix\, or Jeff Innocent\, or you might be one of the 10 million+ people who have seen his TikTok videos. If so\, come along. If not\, still come along. \n  \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  \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.

SUMMARY:Darlington\, July 16th 2025
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites presents Hayley Ellis & Esther Manito\nShow details:\nHayley Ellis & Esther Manito: Tour Previews\nHilarity Bites present tour preview shows from two of the funniest stand-up’s on the circuit\, Esther Manito (as seen on Live at the Apollo) and Hayley Ellis (co-host of The Worriers podcast): \n \nHayley Ellis: Silly Mare\nLike all women who literally just celebrated their 35th birthday five years ago\, Hayley Ellis is obsessed with true crime. Sure\, it’s not the most feminist of passions – but since when do we ever do what’s best for ourselves\, however old we get? Join Hayley as she navigates middle age – and as everyone agrees\, the middle of anything is always the most delicious part (excluding Donuts\, Avocados or plane seats)\, the joys of remaining (mostly) happily unmarried and the truly horrific journey of later-in-life contraception Something for everyone. \nAs seen as tour support for Sarah Millican and Jason Manford. \n“Sharp\, clever\, and very funny” – The Sunday Post \n“Ellis is a talent” – Fest \nWinner Best Show – NW Comedy Awards 2023 \n \nEsther Manito: Slagbomb\nEsther’s life seems to be a magnet for embarrassing moments and endless cockups. No matter how hard she tries to project sophistication\, she often ends up highlighting her unrefined side. Yet her husband doesn’t seem to feel any need to be dignified\, so why does dignity have such control over her? After Esther’s last show “Hell Hath No Fury” she decided to embrace her label as an “angry woman” and now she wants to accept her lack of dignity whether it’s her less-than-graceful posture\, cringe-worthy encounters with shady drug deals\, or the painful realities of waxing gone wrong in her new tour “Slagbomb”. \n“Manito skilfully weaves her own personal story with a wider look at gender issues in society” – ★★★★ – Evening Standard \n“An absolute riot from start to finish” – ★★★★ – Everything Theatre \n“Effervescent… Incisively funny” – ★★★★ – The Skinny \n\nBuy tickets:\nTickets for this show can be bought online at www.darlingtonhippodrome.co.uk\, in person from the Darlington Hippodrome box office in the Cornmill Centre\, or telephone 01325 405405. \nTickets for this show are £16 each\, with doors opening at 7pm and the show starting at 7:30pm.
