Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Stephen Bailey, Steve Shanyaski, and host Rick Molland
Show details:
Stephen Bailey
Stephen Bailey is the host of Celebs on the Farm/Ranch (Channel 5) and has recently filmed Live at the Apollo (BBC Two), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC One), Celebrity Coach Trip (E4), and the second series of The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2). It's been a busy few years for Stephen as he was the resident Agony Uncle on Zoe Ball on Saturday/Sunday (ITV) and a series regular on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side (Channel 5) until the end of their runs.
Stephen is also making noise on the comedy circuit with his trademark fun, charming and sassy style. He is a regular at major clubs around the country, and has also played major events such as Latitude & Stonewalls Summer Party. Most recently he has been seen supporting Katherine Ryan and Jenny Eclair on their UK tours.
In 2019, Comedy Central Live - Stephen Bailey; his first 30 minute stand-up special was released, and in 2020 Stephen will be seen as the new host of a returning Comedy Central series. He's also acted as warm up artist for ITV’s Loose Women and Let’s Lunch With Gino & Mel, and contributed to Attitude Magazine, Live Manchester, and the Huffington Post.
In 2015, his Edinburgh Fringe show was nominated for the Amused Moose Comedy Award (Best Show), and in 2020 he'll embark on a brand-new tour of the UK.
“A superstar in the making” - British Comedy Guide
“Stephen Bailey dominates the stage” - Chortle
“He's an arch-bitch with a winning smile, everyone's favourite gay best friend. Bailey's confident, funny & suitably rude” - The Review's Hub
Steve Shanyaski
Endlessly charming, Steve's inherent warmth and cheeky, roguish twinkle shines through his material. Within the first six months of his comedy career he made it through to the semi-finals of the BBC New Comedian of the Year, the North West Comedian of the Year Final, and later that year was booked to appear on the BBC7 Radio Showcase 'Spanking New'. Since then he has gone from strength to strength, adding TV appearances such as 'Jason Manford's Comedy Rocks' on ITV, and Comedy Central's 'Comedy Store Presents...'.
Combining surreal observations with wildly tangential imaginings, his off kilter set pieces have audiences fully immersed as he leads them, Pied Piperlike, down the charming avenues of his inner mind.
“One of my favourite comedians” - Jason Manford
“Like a mixture between Eddie Izzard and Peter Kay… with a guitar” - Stockport Express
“Uproariously funny” - Chortle
Rick Molland
Not many Englishmen can cut it as an MC in a Scottish Comedy Club - but that's exactly what Rick Molland did every weekend of the year for years.
An award winning film maker and former Scottish Comedian of the Year runner-up, having proven his comedy metal in some of the most formidable environments Scotland has to offer, including T in the Park, Rockness, and The Wickerman Festivals, Rick Molland is the former resident compère at Edinburgh's Monkey Barrel Comedy Club.
