SUMMARY:Newton Aycliffe\, March 21st 2024
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bitesize New Act & New Material Night\, with Phil Chapman\, Michael Holford\, host Si Beckwith & support\nShow details:\n \nPhil Chapman\nPaul Smith Tour Support\nPhil Chapman is one of the most prolific writers on the circuit\, ensuring his material is up to date and the audience get a fresh show every time they see him. His work rate has not gone unnoticed and in the past he’s been invited to write for BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack. \nA quick wit and a constant turnover of material have ensured he has become a highly sought after act and MC. He’s a regular host at the world famous Hot Water Comedy Club as well as many other major clubs in the UK as well as abroad\, and Phil has a wealth of material and sketches available online. Not only a hit on the comedy scene\, he’s also a recognised musical artist with his smash hit single Slogans in collaboration with DJ Hans Face Space\, which was released to great fanfare during the pandemic. \n“An instant hit” - Liverpool Echo \n“A good stage presence\, with jokes to match” - GiggleBeats \n“Fearless as well as bloody funny” - Smacked Arse Comedy \n  \n  \n \nMichael Holford\nMichael bounds onto stage with an enthusiasm that is infectious and immediately welcomes the audience in. \nHis act is a lovely mix of his childhood\, the characters he has met along the way\, and stories of married life that people find extremely relatable. The amount of knowing looks and and nods in the crowd always backs this up. \nThere's a delightful tone to Holford's work that treads very carefully through his family tales that always shows a love and affection towards those he jokes about. There's also a wide range of tales to keep all tastes happy - while his marriage material appeals to the couples in the audience\, he embraces a wide demographic with his gags that leave nobody feeling left out. \nMichael is a storyteller\, but there are still plenty of punchlines throughout his set. Holford has the ability to make crowds of any age roar with laughter\, and sends them away appreciating what good live comedy can do. \n“He absolutely blew us away - great comedy and great entertainment” - Jesterval \n“Just wasn’t expecting that\, loved the passion and loved the delivery... we want him back” - Lindisfarne Festival \n“Smashed it yet again. Great work!” - Punch Drunk Comedy \n  \n \nSi Beckwith\nSi Beckwith is a stand-up comedian and writer from Newcastle Upon Tyne. \nSi gigs regularly and prolifically\, up and down the country\, making sure to hone his craft on all manner of stages and is a respected\, reliable and most importantly very funny stand-up comedian who has a creative approach to all he does. \nSi has packed plenty in to a relatively short career\, first performing at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013 in a two-handed show. He was a Harrogate Comedian Of The Year finalist in 2016. His show ‘Get Lush’ received some excellent reviews in 2019 and 2020 for performances at both Alphabetti Theatre and The Stand\, Newcastle. His most recent show ‘Bricks’ has been getting wonderful feedback from performances at Laurels Theatre and The Stand\, Newcastle. \n“Absurdly charming and funny” - NARC \n“Razor sharp wit” - The Crack \n“relaxes and charms\, but watch out for his vicious undertow” - BBC \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.
