First Thursday Comedy @ The Met, Bury

Stephen Bailey (“Fabulously funny” The Guardian),  Faizan Shah (​”One of my favourite new stand up comedians” Guz Khan), Alex Mitchell and MC Martin Mor (”Wore us out with laughter‘ The Scotsman) all coming to the First Thursday Comedy Club at The Met, Bury. Please scroll down for comedians’ details.

Stephen Bailey, (Live at the Apollo, Celebrity Mastermind, Celebrity Weakest Link, Madame Blanc Mysteries etc), is a proud Northern, working class, gay man. Although best known as a TV presenter it’s the arena of live, stand up comedy where Stephen really shines. Gossipy, bitchy, close to the bone even, but with such an infectious sense of fun everyone gets the joke and no one is left behind.

Faizan Shah moved to the UK as a child. His well-crafted jokes make light of growing up in an immigrant household and the inevitable challenges it brings. The quality of Faizan’s joke writing, and affable stage presence has seen him progress quickly from beating Comedy Store’s King Gong and Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog to now breaking through the circuit with a strong 20 minute set and performing at both those venues pro weekend gigs in under 2 years. We believe Faizan to be one of the most exciting new acts to come out of Manchester for a few years.

Thirty years after spectacularly shattering his ankle as a circus performer, Martin Mor turned his attention to the unsuspecting comedy circuit. Martin has established himself as one of the UK’s most popular and in-demand comedians. Martin has performed successfully at events of all description; from the Hammersmith Apollo to base camp at Everest, from Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to a show for the inmates of an Italian prison!
