SUMMARY:Bishop Auckland\, November 19th 2021
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Eddy Brimson\, Simon Lomas\, and host David Longley\nShow details:\n \nEddy Brimson\nSince turning to comedy in 1999\, Eddy Brimson has well and truly established himself on the live circuit and is regarded by some as one of the leading headline comics in British comedy and the world. His career has even taken him from Dundee to Dubai! \nTo say Eddy has a colourful past is something of an understatement. A self-confessed former football hooligan before turning his hands to better use as a writer and comedian\, Eddy has written a host of amusing anecdotal books\, penned and hosted a top three selling video ‘Teargas and Tantrums’\, and is also a regular “talking head’ for numerous radio and TV shows on subjects as diverse as football\, dodgy builders and sexy baldness. \nHe’s appeared on television in many different guises from Hari Krishna in both Smith & Jones and Heartburn Hotel\, to hard-nosed Villain in Eastenders\, where he turned over Frank Butchers car lot! Other appearances include Absolutely Fabulous\, The Thin Blue Line and Hale & Pace\, The Bill\, Silent Witness\, Casualty\, Between The Lines and the HBO movie The Infiltrator where he played a leading gang member. \nEddy is also a regular radio contributor to shows on BBC Radio 5 and Talksport and also a prolific writer\, having penned seven best-selling books. With sales topping 160\,000\, Eddy has built himself a cult following among British and European football fans. In short\, this is one gifted and hilarious performer. \n“The crowd loved him” - The Guardian \n“Quite simply brilliant” - Sky \n“Engaging and Compelling\, Brimson doesn’t f*@k about” - Three Weeks \n  \n \nSimon Lomas\nWinner - Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year 2017Winner - Nottingham Comedy Festival new Act of the Year 2017Winner - Great Yorkshire Fringe New Comedian of the Year 2016Winner - Nando’s New Comedian of the Year 2016\nDespite only starting stand up in September 2015\, Simon Lomas is already regarded as one of the most refreshing and exciting new acts on the circuit. In August 2017 he performed as part of Just The Tonic's prestigious Big Value Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival\, after racking up a host of new act competition titles. \nDefinitely one to watch. \n“...the writing is strong\, efficient and offbeat\, with an enviable hit rate” - Chortle \n“...it was immediately obvious why there is a buzz about him” - Bruce Dessau \n“...sharp and solid joke writing” - The Skinny \n  \n \nDavid Longley\nOne of the few comics able to play to any audience without compromising on his material\, David Longley can delight a hen party and the comedy connoisseur on the same night. Intelligent\, silly\, thought-provoking and filthy\, Longley has found himself headlining comedy clubs all over the country and is also in demand as an MC. \nLongley’s towering stage presence and intensity\, combined with his cutting wit have made him one of the most popular and controversial circuit comics in the UK\, whether it’s doling out thought-provoking insights or revelling in toilet humour\, Longley is a gifted wordsmith with great audience interaction skills. \nAs well as being a great addition to any club line up\, David had also written and performed four full length festival solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, each one greeted with critical acclaim. Additionally\, David has featured as a writer on 8 Out of 10 Cats\, amongst a variety of genres\, and is currently working on sitcom\, drama and documentary script \n“Acid tongued and as sharp as a barrel full of tacks... As intense and intelligent performer as you’re likely to see” - The List \n“Highly original and bloody funny” - Three Weeks \n“David seems to be actually driven by the material and\, say it quietly\, the art... challenges both himself and the audience. AND HE IS FUNNY” - Baby Cow \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\nTimings\nDoors open: 7:30pm\nShow starts: 8pm \n\nBuy tickets:\nTickets for this show can be bought online at www.bishopaucklandtownhall.org.uk\, in person from Bishop Auckland Town Hall\, or telephone 03000 269 524.
