SUMMARY:Darlington\, April 6th 2024
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Tony Law\, Chris Brooker\, Jimmy Shirley\, and host Matt Reed\n*** Tickets for this show are now sold-out***\nShow details:\n \nTony Law\nCanadian surrealist and master story-teller Tony Law is a three-time Chortle Award winner\, an Amused Moose Best Show winner\, and an Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee. \nHis extensive TV and radio credits include: Have I Got News For You (BBC One)\, The Alternative Comedy Experience (Comedy Central)\, 8 Out Of 10 Cats (Channel 4)\, Celebrity Mastermind (BBC One)\, Celebrity Squares (ITV) Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC Two)\, Heading Out (BBC Two)\, The Culture Show (BBC Two)\, Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe (BBC Two)\, Edinburgh Nights (BBC Two)\, Tony Law’s Surreal Guide To Surreal Comedy (Radio 4 Extra)\, Loose Ends (Radio 4)\, and Infinite Monkey Cage (Radio 4). \nTony thinks everything he does is normal. Come and see how wrong he is. If this was Victorian times he would be in a travelling tent as a spectacle. \n“The King of post-modern nonsense” - Telegraph \n“Takes post-modern stand-up to a dangerously funny new level” - ★★★★ - The Guardian \n“clever and blithely zany\, he's just what the doctor ordered” - 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 \nJimmy Shirley\nJimmy started his comedy career whilst living abroad in Greece. He's a whimsical storyteller with high energy\, telling tales of the absurdity of a scouser in Greece and the everyday things that annoy him. \nJimmy reached the semi-final of 'So You Think You're Funny' in 2021 and was a finalist at the Southport Comedy Festival's New Comedian of the Year competition in 2022. Since then he has started to make a name for himself up and down the country on the comedy circuit performing on some of the biggest line ups and is definitely one to watch. \n“Electrified the room and audience” - Lancaster Guardian \n  \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  \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.
