Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Noel James, Sam Serrano, and host Pete Otway

Show details:

Noel James

Britain's Got Talent 2018 semi-finalist

Noel James has been making people laugh for over 25 years and much of stand-up's royalty has cited him as being a big influence: from Tim Vine and Milton Jones, to Frank Skinner and Dylan Moran.

Noel is surreal, bizarre, absurd, intelligent, and yet, somehow strangely attractive. He's an accessible act who generally goes down well anywhere; his best lines would grace any comedian's repertoire, whilst the worst would shame a cracker factory. Highly original and just plain ridiculous.

“Liberates the lunatic side to our personalities - brilliantly!” - Time Out

“Stands out like a droll giant in a comedy land of trite dwarfs” - The Independent

“Huge fan!” - The Sunday Times

 

Sam Serrano

Sam Serrano is a gender fluid, dyspraxic comedian who has been taking the circuit by storm. A regular in clubs across the UK, Sam’s unique trademark style is dark and self-deprecating in equal measure and has seen them become a favourite with bookers.

It has also seen Sam provide tour support for Brennan Reece and perform an incredible five solo shows at Hot Water Comedy Club, Nottingham Comedy Festival, and Leicester Comedy Festival.

In a short space of time since starting out, Sam was awarded second place in the prestigious Great Yorkshire Fringe Comedian of the Year Competition in 2018, followed by runner-up in the LGBT Comedian of the Year 2019, and was a finalist in the Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year in the same year.

“killer lines... a lot going for them, expect to see more” - Chortle

“puts the X in X Factor” - York Press

“Laugh-out-loud funny” - Yorkshire Post

 

Pete Otway

Since 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.

With 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.

“Devastatingly funny” - Chortle
