SUMMARY:Darlington\, August 7th 2021
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Duncan Oakley\, Josh Pugh\, and host Lee Kyle\nShow details:\n \nDuncan Oakley\nAward-winning comedy songwriter Duncan Oakley has been performing on the UK club and festival circuit since 1999. In that time Duncan has appeared on BBC3\, Channel 4 and BBC Radio 4 as well as having a lead role as Eddie in Beat 24's feature film Frontman (a film that won awards but sadly never achieved major release despite Oakley being brilliant in it). \nProudly childlike\, musical comedian Duncan Oakley can be playful and daft but is always infectiously funny. \nExpect big laughs from your inner oaf. \n“Leaping between stupidity and pure brilliance” - Yorkshire Evening Post \n“Oakley's routine deftly mixes the tunes with the stand-up” - City Life \n“Brilliant. A true\, funny entertainer” - BAFTA winner Dave Johns \n  \n \nJosh Pugh\nEnglish Comedian of the Year 2016Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award Winner 2015Nottingham Comedy Festival New Act of the Year Award 2015

Midlands New Act of the Year 2014 (and 2015 somehow)



\nHot off winning the Midland New Act of the Year in 2014 and 2015\, Josh Pugh rapidly shot to the upper echelons of UK stand-up\, winning English Comedian of the Year 2016\, only two years after playing his first gig. \nHe also won the Funhouse Gong Show as well as the Best New Act prizes at both the 2015 Birmingham and Nottingham Comedy Festivals. \nJosh’s clever\, original\, and (most importantly) very funny writing and performing continues to bring in plaudits\, from Chortle to the Londonist to the London Evening Standard\, and he undoubtedly has a blindingly bright future. \n“Pleasingly off the beaten track” - The Londonist \n“Excellent writing from a peculiar and offbeat mind... an almost certain future star” - Chortle \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  \nThis show will also feature a newer act in the middle. \n  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n\n\nBuy tickets:\nTickets for this show are £10 per person\, and should be booked in the group size that you wish to sit in. Tickets can be bought from the link below\, or contact the venue directly.
