SUMMARY:Horbury\, February 9th 2024
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Lost Voice Guy\, Rob Rouse\, Stephanie Laing\, and host Katie Mulgrew\nShow details:\n \nLee Ridley (Lost Voice Guy)\nBritain's Got Talent winner - 2018\nLee Ridley AKA Lost Voice Guy may not be able to talk\, but he definitely has something to say\, and his comedy will leave you speechless. \nSince making his first stand up performance in February 2012\, Ridley has gained quite the reputation for being both very funny and very unique. \nHe's gigged across the country performing at clubs and small venues\, and has warmed up at Tour shows for the likes of Ross Noble\, Patrick Kielty\, Jason Manford and Jason Cook. \nIn 2014 he won the BBC New Comedy Award and went on to became the winner of ITV’s highest rated show\, Britain’s Got Talent\, in 2018; the first comic ever to win the show. \nLee’s other credits include his own BBC Radio 4 sitcom\, Ability\, Live at the Apollo for BBC\, and in late 2018 he completed a huge nationwide theatre tour before releasing his debut book in May 2019. \n“Funny\, personal\, occasionally shocking and frequently mischievous” - The Independent \n“Finding humour in strange places is one of Lost Voice Guy’s strengths” - The Guardian \n“a show that will open your eyes\, put fire in your belly and make you laugh guiltily at its frankness and levity” - ★★★★★ - Metro \n  \n \nRob Rouse\nRob Rouse is a man who doesn't know the meaning of the word calm. Full of beans\, Rob can't slow down\, and why would he when he makes so many people laugh. Rob first made the leap into stand up comedy in the late 1990s\, touring the university circuits. In 1998 he won the prestigious 'So You Think You're Funny' competition at the Edinburgh Festival. \nAs seen on Dave's One Night Stand\, Celebrity Juice\, 8 out of 10 Cats\, The Friday Night Project\, and much more\, Rob is one of comedy’s most lively\, loveable and dynamic performers. \nPerforming a rare club show\, whilst in between tours\, expect stories of his life as a father\, his encounters with road-kill and his life as the beleaguered owner of the most spectacularly randy dog you’re ever likely to hear about... \n “He’s a man with genuinely funny bones” - Sunday Times \n“Rob Rouse is a born clown\, a latter-day Stan Laurel” - Time Out \n“Every single one of these everyday observations and shared recognitions is blown out of the mainstream by his electric-shock treatment of the material... You want to hug his brain for coming up with this stuff\, even as you want to wash his mouth out with soap for saying it” - The Herald \n  \n \nStephanie Laing\nGoofy and peculiar\, Stephanie Laing’s comedy is partway between the needy oddness of Maria Bamford and the upbeat affability of Josie Long. Her material is a mix of silliness\, filth and unusual observations\, underpinned by a disarming honesty which makes her seem charmingly vulnerable. \nA regular on the circuit Stephanie has also become a stalwart of comedy festivals across the country having appeared at Brighton Fringe\, Leicester Comedy Festival\, York Comedy Festival\, Bath Comedy Festival\, Women in Comedy Festival as well as appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe every year since 2010. Not content with just performing in the UK Stephanie has also appeared at UCB in New York & The Laugh Factory in L.A. \nMost recently in 2018 Stephanie took her solo show ‘Mad About The Boy’ to the Melbourne\, Adelaide & Perth comedy festivals. \n“Laing is a jovial\, baby faced performer who comes across as utterly unencumbered\, so it doesn’t especially feel like adult humour when it plainly is... Laing has a Sarah Millican-esque appeal” - Chortle \n“Disgusting and delightful in equal measure. She is definitely one to watch” - Three Weeks \n“Gloriously silly … wonderfully unpretentious” - Broadway Baby \n  \n  \n \nKatie Mulgrew\nLancashire comedian\, Katie Mulgrew really likes making people laugh. It’s kinda her thing. She gigs all over the country in comedy clubs doing just that\, to mostly success. She also makes her Mum laugh loads. \nShe’s done lots of lovely things whilst being a comedian like being tour support for The Boy With Tape On His Face and Vikki Stone. She has written for The News Quiz and you can hear her dulcet Northern tones featured on the BBC Radio 2 documentary series\, The History of British Comedy. She got to be very silly indeed on a couple of episodes of the CBBC show\, The Dog Ate My Homework. She recently co-hosted a TV pilot on ITV2 called Lovefix. \nKatie has performed three solo stand up shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and is currently working on her fourth show when she’s not consumed with trying to keep the human she has made alive. \n“Mulgrew is an engaging\, likeable presence who doesn’t struggle to hold the audience’s attention. This is a well-structured thoughtful show.. radiating warmth” - Chortle \n“charmingly honest... delightfully tender and thoroughly entertaining” - The Skinny \n“...honest\, un-cynical comedy that’s rough around the edges but tremendously warm” - Three Weeks \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 £12.50 per person\, and can be bought from the link below\, See Tickets\, TicketMaster\, Skiddle\, or contact the venue directly.
