SUMMARY:Newton Aycliffe\, January 19th 2023
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bitesize New Act & New Material Night\, with Tony Cowards\, Fran Garrity\, host Pete Selwood & support\nShow details:\n \nTony Cowards\nTony is a rapidfire gag merchant with an arsenal full of one-liners\, for laughs-per-minute he's a tough act to beat! \nHis quick wit has made him a sought after act and compere by comedy clubs and promoters across the UK and even for gigs worldwide. Something of a Twitter sensation\, Tony's jokes turn up in all sorts of places\, from greetings cards to The Times newspaper\, even if you've never heard of him there's a good chance that you'll have laughed at one of his gags. \nTony’s likable ‘everyman’ character and wide ranging humour (mostly clean) means he is comfortable in front of any audience and is regularly booked for comedy nights for the military\, universities\, sports clubs\, festivals and after-dinner work. In July 2014\, Tony placed third in the English Comedian of the Year Competition. \n“Tony Cowards as the MC skilfully whipped the full house into a state of rapture in anticipation of the evening's special guest” - Three Weeks \n“The best joke writer around” - GQ \n“The Punosaurus” - The List \n“A beaut of a one-liner merchant” - LondonisFunny.com \n  \n \nFran Garrity\nOne of Teesside’s finest comedic exports of recent years\, Fran Garrity kicked off his comedy career in 2015 after becoming a finalist in the City Comedian of the Year & FAF Breakthrough Act competitions. \nOften heard on the airwaves of both national and regional radio\, Fran has featured on such shows as BBC Radio 4’s New Comedy Awards and BBC Radio Newcastle’s features Jesting About and Grin up North\, whilst also presenting a weekend show on Zetland FM. \nIn 2017\, Fran was chosen for a support slot with Jason Manford on his Muddle Class Tour\, and later that year he debuted his solo show Secret Agent Fran and became a finalist in the Harrogate Comedian of the Year. \nHe had a sell-out run for Best In Class at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival\, and has had three sell-out solo shows with the shows Secret Agent Fran\, Faith Hope & Garrity\, and new show Fifty/50. \n“He smashed it” - Jason Manford \n“Fran is a real act to watch out for” - NARC \n“Fran Garrity has an easy and instant rapport with the audience and not only gets frequent laughs but also they are always big laughs” - Buzz Comedy \n  \n  \n \nPete Selwood\nA hotly tipped up and coming comedian on the circuit\, Pete Selwood has quickly risen through the comedy ranks with swagger. After winning the Lawrence Batley New Yorkshire Comedian of the Year (quite a mouthful)\, he has gone from strength to strength\, winning comedy competitions and winning over audiences. \nThe Barnsley born Yorkshireman is an adept storyteller\, focussing on tales of Northern life as a perpetually single man in his 20s. Being born with only one hand also gives him a unique view and experience of the world around him\, poking fun at having a fairly minor disability in modern Britain. \nIn keeping with his material about disability\, Selwood is also half of a double-act with Britain's Got Talent star Jack Carroll\, performing sketches and creating videos about the portrayal of disability within our society. \n“Wowed the crowd” - Liverpool Echo \n“man with swagger\, isn’t misplaced either” - Notts Comedy Review \n“grace and good humour\, immensely likeable” - North West End \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. Tickets can be bought from the link below\, See Tickets\, TicketMaster\, Skiddle\, WeGotTickets\, or contact the venue directly.
