SUMMARY:Darlington\, January 4th 2020
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Micky P. Kerr\, Kelsey de Almeida\, Sian Davies\, and host Pete Otway\nShow details:\n \nMicky P. Kerr\nBritain's Got Talent finalist 2018\nLeeds-based comedian and social commentator\, Micky P Kerr is a breath of fresh air on the live comedy circuit. Fusing together music\, spoken word and comedy\, with his tongue often planted firmly in his cheek\, Kerr has been described as the bastard spawn of John Cooper Clarke. \nAlready a familiar face on the live music circuit\, Micky turned his hand to stand-up comedy in 2013 and is rapidly becoming one to watch\, proving to be a massive hit with audiences and bookers alike. \nIn the short time he has been appearing on the comedy circuit he has already reached the semi-finals of both the So You Think You’re Funny and the BBC New Act competitions. He was also recently crowned Harrogate Comedy Festival New Comedian of the Year. \n2015 saw Micky record a live set for BBC Radio 1\, working on a new sitcom about his previous life as a primary school teacher and recording his latest album of music and comedy\, entitled Kerr in the Kerrmunity. In 2017 Micky performed his debut hour at the Edinburgh Fringe. \n“Kerr’s ability to get laughs out of them marks him out as perfect Radio 4 material” - Three Weeks \n“Unlike some acts who are not funny then are funny\, you are always funny” - Simon Cowell \n“Leeds-based Kerr’s assured and relaxed mix of one-liners\, poetry and songs certainly impressed” - Harrogate Advertiser \n  \n \nKelsey de Almeida\nKelsey is one of the youngest working comedians in the UK. Having supported Stephen K Amos on 3 UK tours\, Abandoman on their 2017 UK tour\, and recently won 'Best Newcomer' at the Southend Comedy Festival - it's clear to see why The Stand Comedy Club described him as being "Definitely one to watch". \n“Opened for me on tour\, a superb act to follow. Blown away by his funny\, they loved him. Catch him now\, he's got it” - Stephen K Amos \n“Destined to be absolutely huge. Charming and disarming\, he held the audience in the palm of his hand and made them helpless with laughter. He puts wit and polish centre stage” - Julia Chamberlain \n“Wins the audience over immediately with a combination of great material and confidence” - Glee Club \n  \n \nSian Davies\nSian Davies is a stand up comedian\, MC\, presenter\, and comedy writer based in the north west of England. \nShe won the Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year competition in 2018\, and was a finalist in Nando’s New Comedian and Harrogate Theatre Comedian of the Year competitions in 2017. She was also a northern finalist of the Funny Women stage award 2018\, and selected to take part in the prestigious Circuit Breakers showcase at the Leicester Comedy Festival. \nSian took two compilation shows to the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe which were both well recieved and an unprecedented success. Comedy Queers\, a late night LGBTQIA+ showcase which sold out almost every night of the festival and Best in Class\, a crowd funded profit sharing show featuring working class comedians which attracted huge media attention and earned several 4 star reviews. \nAway from stand-up\, Sian has written for 'Newsjack' on BBC Radio 4 Extra\, and had sketches featured on 'And Then She Said A Funny Thing' live performance podcast. \n“Excellent compere” - The Scotsman \n“Sharp and focused... fantastic ability as a comedian and compere” - ★★★★ - Backstage on the Fringe \n“Warm hearted and engaging comedy” - ★★★★ - Deadline News \n  \n \nPete Otway\nSince starting to perform in 2010\, Pete Otway has quickly gained momentum\, establishing himself as an extremely strong new act. As comfortable and confident as an MC as he is an act\, he is booked regularly to do both\, and was a recent finalist in the 2012 BBC New Comedy Awards. \nWith an affable and conversational style\, mixed with an energetic stage manner and original writing\, Pete is quickly making a name for himself on the UK circuit\, and is certainly one to watch. \n “Devastatingly funny” - Chortle \n“Amiable\, cheeky classic stand-up” - Liverpool Echo \n“An amazing comedy talent\, and we are making sure we are making sure we follow his every move in his ever rising career” - Crispy Comedy Club \n  \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes.\n\nBuy tickets:
